ISO/IEC 24712:2007/Amd. 1:2026 is an amendment from ISO and IEC for the colour test pages used to measure office equipment consumable yield. It updates the page-description instructions in Clause 6 so that yield testing uses the specified PDF pages, page size, feed-direction checks, print-job setup, and official electronic test file.

What does ISO/IEC 24712:2007/Amd. 1:2026 specify?

ISO/IEC 24712:2007/Amd. 1:2026 replaces the text in Clause 6, Page descriptions, of ISO/IEC 24712:2007. The amendment focuses on how the test pages are prepared and used for yield testing, especially the file format, page dimensions, printer feed direction, and the official file to use.

The document is organized as standard front matter followed by the replacement text for Clause 6.

What are the key requirements of ISO/IEC 24712:2007/Amd. 1:2026?

• Clause 6 requires PDF versions only. In practice, the yield test is based on the electronic pages, not on a recreated or reprocessed document, so the same file can be used across test sites.

• Clause 6 says the fonts are uniquely named to reduce font substitution. This matters because if substitution happens, the LSA logo may not reproduce correctly, which can change the printed result and affect the yield measurement.

• Clause 6 sets the page size at 209 mm x 279 mm. That size allows the pages to be printed on either letter or A4 paper, so laboratories can run the same test pages without redesigning the suite.

• Clause 6 requires a measurement of the corner marks for feed-direction checks. For short-edge feeding paper, the distance is 170.0 mm ± 1 %; for long-edge feeding paper, it is 250.0 mm ± 1 %. This helps account for image stretch in the paper feed direction without changing toner use.

• Clause 6 requires the files to be printed as a complete five-page suite as a single job. This keeps the test conditions together and avoids mixed handling that could change the consumable load.

• Clause 6 says the suite is designed to use approximately equal amounts of C, M, Y and K colourants. In practice, printers may convert those colours differently, so users should expect output to vary by device even when the same suite is used.

• Clause 6 requires the most recent official electronic test file to be used. The file is identified in the amendment, and using the wrong file invalidates the test results.

What terms does ISO/IEC 24712:2007/Amd. 1:2026 define?

• PDF - The file form used for the yield test pages, which keeps the test tied to the approved electronic pages.

• LSA logo - The logo whose correct reproduction is used as a check on whether font substitution has altered the page.

• Short-edge feeding paper - Paper fed with the short edge leading; the amendment uses this case for one of the mark-distance measurements.

• Long-edge feeding paper - Paper fed with the long edge leading; the amendment gives a separate mark-distance measurement for this feed direction.

• Complete five-page suite - The full set of five test pages that must be printed together as one job.

• Colourants - The C, M, Y and K materials the suite is designed to use in approximately equal amounts.

• Official electronic test file - The current approved file for the test pages, which must be used to keep the result valid.

Who uses ISO/IEC 24712:2007/Amd. 1:2026?

Manufacturers of office equipment use this amendment when they set up or verify consumable yield tests. Test laboratories and quality teams use it to run the pages under the right file and print conditions.

Buyers, evaluators, and certification teams use it when they need comparable yield results across printers or similar office devices. It is relevant wherever consumable use has to be measured in a repeatable way.

What changed in ISO/IEC 24712:2007/Amd. 1:2026 from the previous edition?

ISO/IEC 24712:2007/Amd. 1:2026 replaces the text in Clause 6 of ISO/IEC 24712:2007.

The amendment states that:

• only PDF versions are used for yield testing
• the fonts are uniquely named to reduce substitution risk
• the page size is 209 mm x 279 mm
• the corner-mark distances are set for short-edge and long-edge feeding paper
• the pages must be printed as a complete five-page suite as a single job
• the suite is designed around approximately equal C, M, Y and K colourants
• the most recent official electronic test file must be used

What does the ISO/IEC 24712:2007/Amd. 1:2026 document contain?

This amendment contains the revised page-description text for the colour test pages used in office equipment consumable yield measurement. The content concentrates on the PDF-only test pages, font handling, page size, feed-direction measurements, and the requirement to print the full five-page suite as one job.

It also identifies the most recent official electronic test file and links test validity to using that file. For laboratories and manufacturers, these are the practical instructions needed to prepare a consistent yield test and judge whether the result can be accepted.
