ISO/IEC 9995-3:2002(E)
Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission)
form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC
participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the
respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees
collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have
established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO/IEC 9995 may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/IEC 9995-3 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology,
Subcommittee SC 35, User interfaces.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/IEC 9995-3:1994), which has been technically
revised.
ISO/IEC 9995 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology — Keyboard layouts for
text and office systems:
— Part 1: General principles governing keyboard layouts
— Part 2: Alphanumeric section
— Part 3: Complementary layouts of the alphanumeric zone of the alphanumeric section
— Part 4: Numeric section
— Part 5: Editing section
— Part 6: Function section

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/IEC 9995-3:2002(E)

Information technology — Keyboard layouts for text and office
systems —
Part 3:
Complementary layouts of the alphanumeric zone of the
alphanumeric section
1 Scope
Within the general scope described in part 1 of ISO/IEC 9995, this part of ISO/IEC 9995 defines in Clause 5 the
allocation on a keyboard of a set of graphic characters which, when used in combination with an existing national
version keyboard layout or the complementary Latin group layout as defined in Clause 6 of this part of
ISO/IEC 9995, allows the input of the character repertoire as defined by collection 281 (MES-1) specified in
amendment 1 to ISO/IEC 10646-1:2000.
NOTE The MES-1 repertoire permits the representation of 40 recognized European languages (plus Afrikaans) using a
Latin-based alphabet.
This part of ISO/IEC 9995 is primarily intended for word-processing and text-processing applications.
2 Conformance
The layout of a keyboard conforms to this part of ISO/IEC 9995 if the allocation of the graphic characters of the
common secondary group (group 2) is as defined in Clause 5 of this part of ISO/IEC 9995, and if the allocation of
the graphic characters of the primary group (group 1) conforms to one of the following layouts:
 a national keyboard standard;
 a national keyboard layout established by common usage in a particular country;
 the complementary Latin group layout as defined in Clause 6 of this part of ISO/IEC 9995.
NOTE Refer to annex A of part 2 of ISO/IEC 9995 for examples of allocations of graphic characters to the primary group of
the alphanumeric zone of the alphanumeric section.
Any statement of conformance to this International Standard shall be taken to imply that the complete common
secondary group layout (Group 2) has been implemented, unless a subset is explicitly declared, provided that all
other requirements of Clause 5 are respected.
3 Normative references
The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of
this part of ISO/IEC 9995. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these
publications do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this part of ISO/IEC 9995 are encouraged to
investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For
undated references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC
maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.

4 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this part of ISO/IEC 9995, the terms and definitions given in ISO/IEC 9995-1 apply.
5 Common secondary group layout
The common secondary group layout specified in ISO/IEC 9995-3 requires a keyboard with 48 graphic keys
according to ISO/IEC 9995-2. This layout requires the provision of a second group as defined in ISO/IEC 9995-1.
The graphic characters of group 1 and the layout of these on the keyboard are defined by the relevant national
keyboard layout standard or established by common usage. The graphic characters of the common secondary
group (group 2) are those of the repertoire specified in collection 281 (titled MES-1) as specified in amendment 1 to
ISO/IEC 10646-1:2000 that are not found as group 1 characters in all national keyboard layouts nor in layouts
established by common usage in a particular country. This leads to a certain duplication of graphic characters
between the group 1 layouts and the layout of the common secondary group (group 2). However, it allows the
graphic characters of the common secondary group and their allocation to keys to be always the same for their use
with any established Latin group layout.
The allocation of the characters of the common secondary group (group 2) shall be as defined in Table 1.
NOTE The repertoire of MES-1 (collection 281) of ISO/IEC 10646-1 is identical to the union of the character repertoire of
ISO/IEC 6937:1994 with the character EURO SIGN (which has not yet been encoded in any version of ISO/IEC 6937 and at
time of publication of this International standard there was no plan to update ISO/IEC 6937 to that effect). ISO/IEC 6937 was
historically the prime reference for the repertoire used by ISO/IEC 9995-3 before it was amended to allocate a keyboard position
to the euro sign. The reference to ISO/IEC 6937 having been deprecated for this International standard, it has not been included
in the current list of normative references. This does not preclude to implement the repertoire of ISO/IEC 6937 as a subset but
this is now outside the scope of this International standard. Implementations of subsets of MES-1 are allowed if they are
declared specifically as mentioned in the conformance clause.

4 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this part of ISO/IEC 9995, the terms and definitions given in ISO/IEC 9995-1 apply.
5 Common secondary group layout
The common secondary group layout specified in ISO/IEC 9995-3 requires a keyboard with 48 graphic keys
according to ISO/IEC 9995-2. This layout requires the provision of a second group as defined in ISO/IEC 9995-1.
The graphic characters of group 1 and the layout of these on the keyboard are defined by the relevant national
keyboard layout standard or established by common usage. The graphic characters of the common secondary
group (group 2) are those of the repertoire specified in collection 281 (titled MES-1) as specified in amendment 1 to
ISO/IEC 10646-1:2000 that are not found as group 1 characters in all national keyboard layouts nor in layouts
established by common usage in a particular country. This leads to a certain duplication of graphic characters
between the group 1 layouts and the layout of the common secondary group (group 2). However, it allows the
graphic characters of the common secondary group and their allocation to keys to be always the same for their use
with any established Latin group layout.
The allocation of the characters of the common secondary group (group 2) shall be as defined in Table 1.
NOTE The repertoire of MES-1 (collection 281) of ISO/IEC 10646-1 is identical to the union of the character repertoire of
ISO/IEC 6937:1994 with the character EURO SIGN (which has not yet been encoded in any version of ISO/IEC 6937 and at
time of publication of this International standard there was no plan to update ISO/IEC 6937 to that effect). ISO/IEC 6937 was
historically the prime reference for the repertoire used by ISO/IEC 9995-3 before it was amended to allocate a keyboard position
to the euro sign. The reference to ISO/IEC 6937 having been deprecated for this International standard, it has not been included
in the current list of normative references. This does not preclude to implement the repertoire of ISO/IEC 6937 as a subset but
this is now outside the sc

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée
aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du
comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI,
Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d'élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur
publication comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres
votants.
L'attention est appelée sur le fait que certains des éléments du présent document peuvent faire l'objet de
droits de propriété intellectuelle ou de droits analogues. L'ISO ne saurait être tenue pour responsable de ne
pas avoir identifié de tels droits de propriété et averti de leur existence.
L'ISO/CEI 9995-3 a été élaborée par le comité technique ISO/TC JTC 1, Technologies de l'information,
sous-comité SC 35, Interfaces utilisateur.
Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition (ISO/CEI 9995-3:1994) et l’Amendement 1
(ISO/CEI 9995-3:1994/Amd.1:1999), qui ont fait l'objet d'une révision technique.
L'ISO/CEI 9995 comprend les parties suivantes, présentées sous le titre général Technologies de
l'information — Dispositions des claviers conçus pour la bureautique:
 Partie 1: Principes généraux pour la disposition des claviers
 Partie 2: Module alphanumérique
 Partie 3: Dispositions complémentaires de la zone alphanumérique du module alphanumérique

1 Domaine d'application
Dans le domaine d'application général de l'ISO/CEI 9995-1, la présente partie de l'ISO/CEI 9995 décrit, à
l’Article 5, l’affectation sur le clavier d’un ensemble de caractères graphiques qui, lorsqu’ils sont utilisés de
pair avec une disposition nationale de clavier existante ou avec une disposition complémentaire du groupe
latin, telle que définie à l’Article 6 de la présente partie de l’ISO/CEI 9995, permettent la saisie du répertoire
de caractères graphiques défini par la collection 281 (MES-1) spécifiée dans l'Amendement 1 à
l’ISO/CEI 10646-1:2000.
NOTE Le répertoire MES-1 permet de représenter 40 langues européennes reconnues (plus l’Afrikaans) et basées
sur l’alphabet latin.
La présente partie de l’ISO/CEI 9995 est principalement destinée aux applications de traitement de texte.
2 Conformité
La disposition d’un clavier est conforme à la présente partie de l'ISO/CEI 9995 si l’affectation des caractères
graphiques du groupe secondaire courant (groupe 2) respecte celle définie à l’Article 5 de la présente partie
de l’ISO/CEI 9995, et si l’affectation des caractères graphiques du groupe primaire (groupe 1) est conforme à
l’une des dispositions suivantes:
 une norme nationale de clavier;
 une disposition nationale de clavier, déterminée par l’usage courant dans un pays donné;
 la disposition complémentaire du groupe latin, telle que définie à l’Article 6 de la présente partie de
l’ISO/CEI 9995.
NOTE Pour des exemples d’affectation de caractères graphiques au groupe primaire de la zone alphanumérique du
module alphanumérique, se reporter à l’Annexe A de l’ISO/CEI 9995-2.
Toute déclaration de conformité à la présente partie de l'ISO/CEI 9995 doit être considérée, afin de signifier
que la disposition complète du groupe secondaire courant (groupe 2) a été mise en œuvre, à moins qu’un
sous-ensemble soit clairement déclaré, et à condition que toutes les autres exigences de l’Article 5 soient
respectées.

4 Termes et définitions
Pour les besoins du présent document, les termes et définitions donnés dans l'ISO/CEI 9995-1 s'appliquent.
5 Disposition du groupe secondaire courant
La disposition du groupe secondaire courant spécifiée dans l’ISO/CEI 9995-3 requiert un clavier de
48 touches graphiques conformément à l’ISO/CEI 9995-2. Elle nécessite l’apport d’un groupe secondaire
comme défini dans l’ISO/CEI 9995-1. Les caractères graphiques du groupe 1 et leur disposition sur le clavier
sont déterminés par la norme nationale de disposition de clavier en vigueur ou par l’usage. Les caractères
graphiques du groupe secondaire courant (groupe 2) sont ceux du répertoire défini par la collection 281
(intitulée MES-1) spécifiée dans l'Amendement 1 à l'ISO/CEI10646-1:2000, et qui ne sont pas communs à
toutes les dispositions nationales de clavier latin ni à celles de toutes les dispositions déterminées par l’usage
pour l'alphabet latin dans un pays donné. Cela entraîne une certaine duplication des caractères graphiques
entre les dispositions du groupe 1 et la disposition du groupe secondaire courant (groupe 2). Toutefois, cela
permet aux caractères graphiques du groupe secondaire courant ainsi qu'à leur affectation aux touches de
rester inchangés, quelle que soit la disposition du groupe latin utilisée.
L’affectation des caractères du groupe secondaire courant (groupe 2) doit être celle définie au Tableau 1.
NOTE Le répertoire du MES-1 (collection 281) de l'ISO/CEI 10646-1 est identique à l'union du répertoire de
caractères de l'ISO/CEI 6937:1994 avec le caractère SYMBOLE EURO (qui n'a pas encore été codé dans une version de
l'ISO/CEI 6937 et à la date de publication de la présente Norme internationale, il n'existait aucune intention de mettere à
jour l'ISO/CEI 6937 à cet effet). L'ISO/CEI 6937 constituait historiquement la référence principale pour le répertoire utilisé
par l'ISO/CEI 9995-3, avant son amendement pour lui affecter une position pour le symbole euro. La référence à l'ISO/CEI
6937 étant considérée comme désuète pour la présente Norme internationale, elle a été omise des références normatives.
Cela n'empêche pas l'implantation du répertoire de l'ISO/CEI 6937 comme sous-ensemble, mais ceci est dorénavant en
dehors du domaine d'application de la présente Norme internationale. L'Implantation de sous-ensembles du MES-1 est
permise si ces sous-ensembles sont déclarés explicitement, tel que cela est mentionné à l'Article 2 (Conformité).
