The model for the electronic consignment note has been published for external review over a two-month period, representing the final step to ensure compatibility between all future digital solutions for international road transport.
Following the previous public review of the e-CMR Business Requirements Specification, this new milestone will see the publication of several technical documents, including the e-CMR schema, structure and model diagram, which comprise the full data set of the electronic message.
The documentation is now available for review on the UN¡¯s portal for trade facilitation recommendations and electronic business standards (UN/CEFACT). At the end of the two-month period, the e-CMR model will be finalised and published as a standard.
Boris Blanche, ·¬ÇÑÊÓƵChief Operational Officer said, ¡°The review process is part of the development of a digital transport tool that will ensure compatibility across the entire digital logistics map. Specifically, the interoperability of e-CMR is critical to safeguarding security, and efficiency and we encourage our members and the wider industry to take an active part in providing feedback.¡±
