    The document compares the EDI X12 and EDIFACT standards. EDI X12 is mostly used in North America and uses transaction sets with ISA/IEA headers and trailers. EDIFACT is mostly used in Europe and uses messages, groups, and UNB/UNZ headers and trailers. EDIFACT supports composites and acknowledgments differently than EDI X12. Both support binary data but EDIFACT security is defined by ISO 9735 while EDI X12 uses ASC X12.58.
