Overview

EN 2499:1987 - Aerospace series: Computer output microfiche (COM) - A6 microfiche is a CEN standard that defines how computer-generated alphanumeric data should be filmed on A6 microfiche for the aerospace industry. The standard specifies the deviations from ISO 5126 required for aerospace applications and is intended to ensure a uniform presentation of microform output to support reliable exchange of technical information across organizations.

Keywords: EN 2499, computer output microfiche, COM, A6 microfiche, aerospace standard, ISO 5126, microform exchange, data filming.

Key Topics

  • Scope and purpose
    • Defines the application of COM for filming alphanumeric data processing output on A6 microfiche specifically for aerospace use.
    • Ensures uniform presentation and interoperability for information exchange in aerospace projects.
  • Deviations from ISO 5126
    • Specifies that certain requirements of ISO 5126 are adjusted to meet aerospace industry needs (EN 2499 identifies and prescribes those deviations).
  • Format and presentation
    • Addresses presentation conventions for microfiche output (formatting, layout and consistent imaging practices) as applicable to A6 microfiche filming.
  • Classification and context
    • Linked to ICS fields for aircraft and space vehicles and document imaging (ICS: 49.020, 37.080), showing its relevance to both aerospace and document management sectors.

Note: EN 2499 focuses on required deviations and uniform presentation principles rather than generic microfiche technicalities; for base microform specifications consult ISO 5126.

Applications

  • Standardizes how printed or electronic alphanumeric output is recorded on A6 microfiche for:
    • Technical data exchange between manufacturers, suppliers and authorities.
    • Long-term archival of maintenance logs, engineering records, and configuration data.
    • Interchange of legacy computer output where microfiche is retained as an official record format.
  • Helps preserve data integrity and readability across different organizations and countries within aerospace programs.

Who Uses This Standard

  • Aerospace manufacturers and suppliers (document control, configuration management)
  • Records management and archiving departments in aviation and space organizations
  • Technical publications teams producing microfiche outputs
  • Third-party microfiche service providers who film aerospace data for archival or exchange
  • Regulators and auditors verifying standardized documentation practices

Related Standards

  • ISO 5126 - base international standard for computer output microfiche (EN 2499 specifies aerospace deviations)
  • CEN published standard: EN 2499:1987 (adopted nationally where applicable)

EN 2499 is a practical reference for organizations that must film and exchange computer output on A6 microfiche in a consistent, auditable way within the aerospace sector.
