Postal services - Address databases - Part 1: Components of postal addresses
The standard will define the components of the address and their formats and guidelines on how to indicate the address on a letter post item. The standard will also define data elements for postal addresses, specify data fields and define rules for the representation of address information in files and on envelopes including number of lines and characters per line.
Postalische Dienstleistungen - Adressdatenbanken - Teil 1: Bestandteile der postalischen Anschrift
Diese Europäische Norm ist ein Nachschlagewerk der möglichen Bestandteile der postalischen Anschriften mit Beispielen und Nutzungsbeschränkungen. Es werden auch eine Vielzahl sinnvoller Termini definiert wie Zustellanschrift, Weiterleitungsanschrift, Empfänger und Postersteller. Sie legt nicht die Länge und den Freimachungswert der Bestandteile fest. Sie gibt auch keine genaue Spezifikation von wiederkehrenden Regeln, obwohl einige Fälle angezeigt werden können, in denen eine Komponente mehr als einmal erscheinen kann.
ANMERKUNG 1 Bei einer einzigen postalischen Anschrift oder einer Anschriftenklasse (z. B. die Anschriften, die in einem bestimmten Land genutzt werden) kann eine Untermenge möglicher Bestandteile ausreichen. In Irland beispielsweise enthalten postalische Anschriften keine Postleitzahl, in den Niederlanden wiederum wird nicht zwischen Stationsart und Stationsname unterschieden.
Die Norm hat einen unterstützenden Charakter: Sie hilft Bestandteile, auf die in anderen, in der Einleitung beschriebenen Normen, Bezug genommen wird, zu definieren. Sie soll gemeinsam mit den anderen Teilen der Norm benutzt werden können.
In der Norm werden drei Ebenen von Bestandteilen, aus denen postalische Anschriften bestehen, definiert:
a) Elemente wie der Name der Organisation oder der Rechtsstatus, die der niedrigsten Bestandteilebene entsprechen, bei denen es sinnvoll wäre (A.1), wenn sie in der Darstellung der Anschrift unterschieden werden könnten.
b) Aufbauten, wie die Kennzeichnung einer Organisation, die Elemente in Einheiten zusammenfassen, die die Interpretation für Menschen erleichtern.
c) Segmente wie die Anschriftenspezifikation, die die wesentlichen logischen Anteile einer postalischen Anschrift ausmachen.
Es wird erwartet, dass die vorliegende Norm, die ein Standardnachschlagewerk der Bestandteile postalischer Anschriften ist, die formale Beschreibung der tatsächlichen Darstellung von Adressen sowie die Definition der Verfahren zum gegenseitigen Abg
Services postaux - Bases de données d'adresses - Partie 1: Composants des adresses postales
La présente Norme européenne fournit un dictionnaire des composants possibles des adresses postales, ainsi que des exemples et les contraintes de leur utilisation. Elle définit également plusieurs termes utiles, tels que adresse de distribution, adresse de réexpédition, destinataire intermédiaire et initiateur du courrier. Elle ne spécifie pas la longueur ou étendue de valeur des composants, elle ne donne pas non plus de spécification précise sur les règles de récurrence, même si elle indique quelques cas dans lesquels un composant peut apparaître plus d'une fois.
NOTE 1 Il est à noter qu'une adresse postale individuelle ou une classe d'adresses postales (telle que les adresses utilisées dans un pays donné) peut n'utiliser qu'un seul sous-ensemble des composants possibles. Par exemple, les adresses postales irlandaises ne comportent pas de code postal, les adresses hollandaises ne font pas de distinction entre le type de voie et le nom de voie.
La présente norme est une norme habilitante : elle sert à définir des composants qui sont abordés dans d'autres normes indiquées ci-après dans le paragraphe " Références normatives ". Elle est destinée à être utilisée en parallèle avec les autres parties de la série.
La norme définit trois niveaux de composant d'adresse postale :
a) les éléments, tels que nom d'organisme ou statut juridique, qui correspondent au niveau le plus bas des composants qu'il peut être utile (A.1) de distinguer dans les représentations d'adresses ;
b) les constructions, telles que identification d'organisme, qui regroupent des éléments en unités plus significatives pour l'interprétation humaine ;
c) les segments, tels que spécification de destinataire, qui correspondent à des portions logiques majeures d'une adresse postale.
Par ce dictionnaire normatif des composants d'adresses postales, la présente norme devrait largement faciliter la description formelle des représentations d'adresses réelles et la définition des procédures de correspondanc

Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such nationalstandards may be obtained on application to the Management Centre or to any CEN member.This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German).

1)Terms in bold are defined either in section 3, or section 4, Postal Address Components.SIST EN 14142-1:2004
An individual postal address, or a class of postal addresses (such as the addresses used in a given country) mayrequire only a subset of the possible components. For example, Irish postal addresses do not include postcode; Dutchaddresses do not separate thoroughfare type from thoroughfare name.The standard is an enabling one: it serves to define components that are drawn on in other standards described inthe Introduction above. It is intended to be used together with the other parts of the standard.The standard defines three levels of postal address component:a) elements, such as organisation name or legal status, which correspond to the lowest level of componentwhich it may be useful (A.1) to distinguish in address representations;b) constructs, such as organisation identification, which group elements into units which are more meaningfulfor human interpretation;c) segments, such as addressee specification, which correspond to major logical portions of a postal address.By providing a standard dictionary of postal address components, this standard is expected to greatly facilitate theformal description of actual address representations and the definition of procedures for mapping between them.In practice, many address representations, whether in computer databases, in electronic messages or in printed orwritten form, may combine several of the postal address components defined herein into single fields or lines.NOTE 2
Practical databases (and even printed addresses) may also combine postal address components, as defined herein,with other relevant data. For example, a company’s customer database may include a customer reference or identificationnumber along with each customer’s address. Such additional data are not considered, for the purpose of this EuropeanStandard, as part of the address, but they must obviously be taken into account in the design of the database and of theapplications that use it.Considerable intelligence may be required in mapping between different representations, particularly where theseare subject to a degree of ambiguity.EXAMPLE: In the individual name John Smith, it is reasonably evident that Smith is the individual's surname and that John is agiven name. But James Joyce is rather more ambiguous: does this represent Mr Joyce, with given name James, or Ms James,with given name Joyce?This standard does not cover the topic of data protection. Users of the standard are nevertheless reminded that thestorage and exchange of personal data are subject to legislation in many countries. The standard may be appliedonly to the extent that this is compliant with such legislation.The present version of the standard applies to European postal addresses only.
2)The present specification is the first release of Part I of the standard.
It is expected that work on the development of Parts 2 to 5 mayresult in the need for changes to this specification. Annex A provides an informative list of aspects of the specification that may be particularlysubject to change.
Where relevant, the body of the standard refers to the points listed in annex A using superscripted cross-references.
Thusthe referenceb) refers to point number b) in the annex.SIST EN 14142-1:2004
Application of the standard to addresses of non-European countries is for further study. A number of groups areworking on the definition, printing and communication of addresses for other parts of the world. When the results of such workbecome available, it is intended that the standard should be reviewed to ensure world-wide compatibility.2 Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. Fordated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this EuropeanStandard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.
