ISO 6199:2005 specifies procedures that enable a camera operator to produce microfilm of appropriate quality of presentation and legibility, capable of yielding scanned images of acceptable quality. ISO 6199:2005 specifies methods for microfilming documents on 16 mm and 35 mm silver-gelatin microfilm, including orientation of images on microfilm, use of non-image areas and information required to facilitate identification of the microfilm. ISO 6199:2005 applies to microfilming using rotary and planetary cameras. This International Standard does not apply to the filming of technical drawings, maps and plans and newspapers, for which specific International Standards exist.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 6199 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 171, Document management applications,
Subcommittee SC 2, Application issues.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 6199:1991), which has been technically revised.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 6199:2005(E)
Micrographics — Microfilming of documents on 16 mm and
35 mm silver-gelatin type microfilm — Operating procedures
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies procedures that enable a camera operator to produce microfilm of
appropriate quality of presentation and legibility, capable of yielding scanned images of acceptable quality.
This International Standard specifies methods for microfilming documents on 16 mm and 35 mm silver-gelatin
microfilm, including orientation of images on microfilm, use of non-image areas and information required to
facilitate identification of the microfilm.
This International Standard applies to microfilming using rotary and planetary cameras.
This International Standard does not apply to the filming of technical drawings, maps and plans and
newspapers, for which specific International Standards exist [1-3].

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 6196 and the following apply.
3.1
inter-image gap
inter-frame gap
distance, measured along the long edge of a roll microfilm, between the trailing edge of one microimage and
the leading edge of the following microimage
3.2

microfilm intended to be used for scanner input
4 Preparation of documents
Documents to be microfilmed shall be examined carefully, defects remedied where appropriate, foreign bodies
(e.g. fasteners) removed and pages arranged in the required order.
Documents to be microfilmed shall be examined to ensure that their dimensions are within those acceptable to
the microfilming system.
Appropriate targets shall be added to each batch of documents during the preparation stage.
Annex A gives more details on the preparation of documents prior to microfilming.
5 Conditions of microfilming
5.1 Raw-stock microfilm
Raw-stock microfilm shall comply with the requirements of ISO 6148 and ISO 18906.
5.2 Formats and orientation
5.2.1 Formats
The formats commonly used in roll microfilm are shown in Figure 1.
The dimensions for the placement of the microimages on the film are listed in Table 1.
