This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. The two anne

21、xes in this standard have been retained to highlight the differences between the original standard from 2002 and then the amendment in 2007. The highly revised EN 13850:2012, from which this standard has been developed, contains a number of annexes that bring together the planning required to create

22、 a sample survey to measure on-time performance, the validation and analysis steps and then the means of calculating the statistical accuracy of the performance estimates produced. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are

23、bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Port

DIN EN 14508:2016-06 EN 14508:2016 (E) 4 Introduction In the Green paper on postal services in 1992 the European Commission emphasized the need to establish common rules for the development of community pos

25、tal services and the improvement of quality of service. The Commission identified requirements for quality of service measurement that include: independent end-to-end measurement capabilities; a focus on cross-border delivery service performance; a single, uniform and reliable system for monitoring

26、delivery service performance within the European Union. The European Commission acknowledged that the different postal traditions and cultures in Europe would not allow for the establishment of one common unified European measurement system and that national systems should have sufficient degrees of

27、 freedom to reflect national needs and peculiarities. On the other hand, they should fulfil a defined set of minimum requirements to satisfy the information interests of the national regulatory authority, postal customers and postal operators themselves. The objective of the measurement is to estima

28、te the transit time quality of service given to the customer in each European country domestically and cross-border between the European countries. This European Standard refers to a number of principles and minimum requirements to be applied for the measurement of the transit time of single piece n

29、on-priority mail. This European Standard for single piece non-priority mail has been developed from EN 13850:2012 Postal Services - Quality of Service - Measurement of the transit time of end-to-end services for single piece priority mail and first class mail. Both standards consider methods using a

30、 representative end-to-end sample of addressed letter mail. The additional specifications in this European Standard are required to define the minimum confidence levels for the measurement of non-priority mail. When EN 14508 was first developed it was decided to base it on existing measuring systems

31、 already in use among the European Union member states. The expansion of the European Union increased the number of cross-border mail flows and the standard was adapted in 2007 to make it possible to economically measure a larger number of mail flows from a wider range of countries. This was achieve

32、d by categorizing mail flows for measuring purposes and extending the measurement over a consecutive number of years. In the earlier versions of EN 13850 and EN 14508 the requirements for the Minimum Sample Size (MSS) were given in terms of accuracy requirements for domestic and cross-border measure

33、ment systems. The basis of this was an accuracy calculation method which linked any accuracy requirement directly to a corresponding MSS. The improved accuracy calculation method in EN 13850:2012 introduced a number of consequences which made it difficult to hold up this link. Annex B explains these

34、 consequences and how they have been overcome. DIN EN 14508:2016-06 EN 14508:2016 (E) 5 1 Scope In addition to EN 13850:2012 Postal Services - Quality of Service - Measurement of the transit time of end-to-end services for single piece priority mail and first class mail, this European Standard speci

35、fies methods for measuring the end-to-end transit time of domestic and cross-border non-priority single piece mail, collected, processed and delivered by postal service operators. It considers methods using a representative end-to-end sample of all types of single piece addressed letter mail with de

36、fined transit-time service levels offered to the customer. This standard is applicable to the measurement of End-to-End single piece non-priority mail services. This European Standard has been developed from and is compatible with the requirements of EN 13850:2012. As such, surveys for both priority

37、 and non-priority single piece mail may be undertaken concurrently while reporting separate estimates of priority and non-priority transit times. The overall transit time quality-of-service result is to be expressed as the percentage of mail delivered within (J + n) days end-to-end according to the

38、EU Postal directive1. This European Standard relates to the measurement of so-called “normal” services given to private persons / households and smaller businesses that post mail at street letter boxes, over the counter at post offices, have bring services from their offices or give their mail direc

39、tly at postal service operators sorting centres. For technical reasons this European Standard may not in all parts be suitable for the measurement of very small volumes of mail and for operators with limited coverage. This European Standard is not applicable for measuring the end-to-end transit time

40、 distribution of large bulk mailers services or hybrid mail, which require different measurement systems and methodologies; (see, for example, EN 14534 Measurement of the transit time of end-to-end services of bulk mail). 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are norma

45、classified as priority as defined nationally EXAMPLE second class item, B class item. 4 Methodology 4.1 General The system for measuring the distribution of the end-to-end transit time of non-priority single piece mail items shall be robust and shall give statistical measurements at a defined level

46、of accuracy. The methodology shall comply with the requirements of EN 13850:2012. In particular the following requirements of EN 13850:2012 shall apply, but shall refer to non-priority instead of priority: The sample design shall be representative of real non-priority single piece mail flows. The me

47、asurement system shall provide one annual figure for each relevant field of study using a test period of 1 year, 2 years or 3 years according to Annex A. NOTE For cross border mail flows in categories 2 or 3 according to Annex A it will take 2 or 3 years, respectively to reach the required accuracy

48、for the particular size of mail flow. The field of study shall be defined and used consistently throughout the measurement. A field of study shall not be modified during a yearly test period or over the full period of the years needed for full accuracy. The measuring methodology shall be objective a

49、nd shall be audited. All measurements of transit time shall refer to end-to-end transit time. The measurement system shall be continuous. Panels of senders and receivers shall be independent of postal service operators and regulatory authority and shall be managed according to the International Chamber of Commerce / ESOMAR International Code of Marketing and Social Research Practice including its attachment. In addition, all requirements regarding integrity of th
