Information technology - Automatic identification and data capture techniques - Bar code master test specifications (ISO/IEC 15421:2010)

New Work Item for the alignment of EN ISO/IEC 15421:2000 with  the identical adoption of ISO/IEC 15421:2010

Informationstechnik - Verfahren der automatischen Identifikation und Datenerfassung - Testspezifikationen für Strichcode-Master (ISO/IEC 15421:2010)

Dieses internationale Dokument legt die Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für physikalische und damit in Zusammenhang stehende Eigenschaften eines Strichcode-Masters fest. Sie umfasst alle Arten von Strichcode-Mastern, unabhängig von der Art der Entstehung des ursprünglichen Bilds, das zur Vervielfältigung mittels üblicher Druckverfahren verwendet werden soll. Diese internationale Norm deckt keine Verfahren ab, in denen es keinen Master gibt, wie z. B. die digitale Druckplattenbelichtung (CTP, en: computer to plate).

Technologies de l'information - Techniques automatiques d'identification et de capture des données - Spécifications pour essai des codes à barres de base (ISO/IEC 15421:2010)

La présente Norme internationale spécifie les exigences et les méthodes d’essai pour les attributs physiques et associés d’un code à barres de base. Elle couvre toutes les formes de code à barres de base, quel que soit le mode d’obtention de l’image initiale, destinées à la reproduction via des procédés d’impression conventionnels. La présente Norme internationale ne couvre pas les procédés pour lesquels il n’y a pas de code à barres de base, par exemple le computer-to-plate (CTP, «ordinateur vers plaque»).

ISO/IEC 15421:2010(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 2.
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 document 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 15421 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology,
Subcommittee SC 31, Automatic identification and data capture techniques.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/IEC 15421:2000), which has been technically
revised.

ISO/IEC 15421:2010(E)
Introduction
The technology of bar coding is based on the recognition of patterns encoded in bars and spaces of specified
dimensions. A wide variety of methods exists by which these bar and space patterns can be reproduced as a
physical image. Conventional printing processes such as offset lithography, photogravure, letterpress, screen
process, hot foil stamping and flexography require one or more intermediate image carriers, for example
artwork, photographic film, printing plates or cylinders, screens or dies.
The term bar code master refers to the first physical image of the complete bar code symbol from which the
other image carriers can be produced. Some processes directly create an image carrier without generating a
master that would be covered by this International Standard. In order to make allowances for variability of the
production processes, and to ensure the correct encoding of the data to be represented, certain procedures
need to be performed during the preparation of the bar code master.
This International Standard does not define the procedures but states the requirements for a bar code master.
