7 Technology standards S30 S54 S60 S64 International postal meter approval requirements The aim of this standard is to provide a means of testing the revenue protection acceptability of technology employed for the production of postal metered indicia printed onto envelopes by customers or their agents, and to provide a consistent international approach to the procedures for testing devices which print postal indicia. It specifies the security requirements that are to be satisfied for revenue-sensitive modules utilised within a security system protecting postal meters. The standard is intended to cover the wide range of potential applications and environments in which meters may be employed. Extensible Postal Product Model and Language (EPPML) This standard defines an XML-based mechanism for the formal definition of postal products. It supports the specification of an almost unlimited variety of such products by reference to service characteristics and pricing and in terms of the requirements that have to be fulfilled by both individual items and mailing submissions in order to qualify for treatment in accordance with the product definition. The use of product definition applications based on the standard will enable postal operators to formally specify existing products and to create new products tailored to specific customer requirements. Mailers will be able to use the resulting product definitions to assist them in selecting the product most appropriate to the needs of particular mailings and, subject to the use of mailing equipment that supports use of the standard, to generate mailings that fully comply with product access requirements. Extensible Common Structure and Representation for Postal Rates (EPR) This standard defines a uniform structure and meaning for the information that fully represents postal rates for a broad variety of postal products in all mail categories. It contains a complete description of the EPR schema, its hierarchical structure, information types and semantics of its elements. Such representation of postal rates allows automated systems to uniformly use postal rates as they are introduced for new products or updated for existing postal products by postal operators. Postal identity management: General concepts, definition of related terms and common protocols This standard describes identity management elements and identifies common protocols used to exchange identity assertions and attributes for the purpose of enabling customer access to applications in the postal network. The identity elements are defined to ensure interoperability of credentials issued by postal operators or by others for use in the postal network. It defines the terms and functions of postal identity management processes and environment. It is intended to provide a basic understanding of identity management roles, technologies, activities and principles. © UPU 2014 – All rights reserved 15
