      CSA Preface


      Standards development within the Information Technology sector is harmonized with international standards development. Through the CSA Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCIT), Canadians serve as the Canadian Advisory Committee (CAC) on ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 on Information Technology (ISO/IEC JTC1) for the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the ISO member body for Canada and sponsor of the Canadian National Committee of the IEC. Also, as a member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Canada participates in the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (ITU-T).


      This International Standard was reviewed by the CSA TCIT under the jurisdiction of the Strategic Steering Committee on Information Technology and deemed acceptable for use in Canada. (A committee membership list is available on request from the CSA Project Manager.) From time to time, ISO/IEC may publish addenda, corrigenda, etc. The CSA TCIT will review these documents for approval and publication. For a listing, refer to the CSA Information Products catalogue or CSA Info Update or contact a CSA Sales representative. This Standard has been formally approved, without modification, by the Technical Committee and has been approved as a National Standard of Canada by the Standards Council of Canada.


      Scope


      This International Standard specifies a uniform representation of human sexes for the interchange of information.


      It is intended to


      - reduce the time required to record and/or format the representation of sexes and transmit the corresponding data;


      - improve clarity and accuracy of interchange;


      - minimize the amount of human intervention required for communicating the representation of sexes; and


      - reduce costs.


      This International Standard does not prescribe file sequences, storage media, programming languages, or other features of information processing to be used in its implementation.


      This International Standard meets the requirements of most applications that need to code human sexes. It does not provide codes for sexes that may be required in specific medical and scientific applications or in applications that need to code sex information other than for human beings.


      This International Standard does not supplant national standards for coding sexes that are designed based upon codes derived from names of sexes in the various languages (for example M for male and F for female in the English language). It provides a numeric code that is independent of language-derived codes and as such is intended to provide a common basis for the international exchange of information containing human sex data elements.

      Préface CSA


      Les normes du secteur de la technologie de l'information sont harmonisées avec les normes internationales. Au nom du Conseil canadien des normes (CCN), organisme membre de l'ISO et parrain du Comité national canadien de la CEI, le Comité technique CSA sur la technologie de l'information (CTTI) représente le Comité consultatif canadien (CCC) au sein du Comité technique conjoint 1 ISO/CEI sur la technologie de l'information (JTC1 ISO/CEI). En outre, à titre de membre de l'Union internationale des télécommunications (UIT), le Canada fait partie du comité consultatif international télégraphique et téléphonique (CCITT).


      Cette norme internationale a été examinée puis acceptée pour le Canada par CTTI de la CSA, sous l’autorité du Comité directeur stratégique sur la technologie de l’information. (La liste des membres du comité peut être obtenue sur demande auprès du chargé de projet CSA.) De temps à autre, l’ISO et la CEI publient des addenda, des modifications, etc. Le CTTI de la CSA examine ces documents aux fins d’approbation et de publication. Pour prendre connaissance de la liste de ces documents, veuillez consulter le catalogue des produits d’information CSA ou la publication Info Update ou, encore, communiquer avec un représentant des ventes CSA. Cette norme a été officiellement approuvée, sans modifications, par le Comité technique et approuvée en tant que Norme nationale du Canada par le Conseil canadien des normes


      Domaine d'application


      La présente Norme internationale spécifie une méthode de représentation uniforme des sexes humains pour l'échange d'information.


      Elle a pour but de réduire le temps nécessaire pour enregistrer et/ou mettre en forme la représentation des sexes et transmettre les données qui y correspondent;


      - accroître la clarté et la fiabilité des échanges;


      - diminuer la somme des interventions humaines nécessaires pour communiquer la représentation des sexes, et


      - réduire les coûts.


      La présente Norme internationale ne prescrit pas l'organisation des fichiers, les supports de mise en mémoire, les langages de programmation ou autres caractéristiques de traitement de l'information à utiliser dans sa mise en oeuvre.


      La présente Norme internationale répond aux exigences de la plupart des applications qui nécessitent la codification des sexes humains. Elle ne détermine pas de codes pour les sexes qui pourraient être requis dans des applications spécifiquement médicales ou scientifiques, ou dans des applications qui nécessiteraient une information codée des sexes autres que ceux des êtres humains.


      La présente Norme internationale ne se substitue pas aux normes nationales relatives à la codification des sexes employés dans les diverses langues (par exemple «M» pour «masculin» et «F» pour «féminin» dans la langue française). Elle propose un code numérique indépendant des codes dérivés d'une langue et qui, de ce fait, est supposé offrir une base commune pour l'échange international des données élémentaires relatives aux sexes humains.
