Introduction
This document specifies requirements for certification schemes for certifying the production of printed
products. Quality and repeatability are ensured by applying total quality control according to ISO 9001
as the overarching method, coupled with print specific ISO standards.
A certification can be centred around any ISO standard related to print production. It will therefore
use the term THE REFERENCED STANDARD as a pointer to the actual standard that is referenced in
the certification scheme. Digital presses that can match an output condition of THE REFERENCED
STANDARD are also intended to be included for certification.
While this scheme assumes familiarity and adoption of a quality management systems based on the
requirements of ISO 9001, it doesn’t intend to assess or audit an organization’s conformity to a complete
implementation of ISO 9001.
The use of this document should make it easier to compare certifications worldwide.
A scheme developed according to this document can be validated by accreditation organisations to
produce verifiable results.
In this document:
— “shall” indicates a requirement;
— “should” indicates a recommendation;
— “may” indicates a permission;
— “can” indicates a possibility or a capability.
Information marked “NOTE” is for guidance in understanding or clarifying the associated requirement.

system of the organization
4.1 General
To achieve and maintain certification, the organization shall be in accordance with the requirements of
this scheme.
4.2 Colour quality and production management system requirements
Requirements for the colour quality and production management system are as specified in ISO 9001,
but with a scope specified for the colour quality system.
The scope shall be defined according the following:
— Tone and colour reproduction to < THE REFERENCED STANDARD > : < PRODUCTION METHOD(s),
(as applicable); , (as applicable); < CUSTOMISED PRINTING CONDITION > , (as and if
applicable).
— Outsourced tone and colour reproduction to < THE REFERENCED STANDARD > : < PRODUCTION
METHOD(s) > , (as applicable); , (as applicable) < CUSTOMISED PRINTING CONDITION > ,
(as and if applicable).
Any change to the scope of the certification shall be agreed to by the certification body.
Site locations of the certified organization shall be defined within the scope. Site locations can only be
included if the colour quality system applies at a particular site to be included, and an audit product test
has been successfully conducted at that site.
Processes which can be included in the scope of the certification are the following:
— pre-press, proofing and PDF file submission to an agreed printing conditions;
— press* only, including plate calibration and TVI curves;
— proofing and press*, including plate calibration and TVI curves;
— pre-press, proofing and press*;
— outsourced printing in any of the above categories.
Organisations are deemed to provide pre-press services when some or all of the following activities are
undertaken by the organization itself.
— Process and correct and/or colour manage clients application files.
— Process, colour manage and/or retouch images.
— Pre-flight and correct and/or colour manage PDF or other file formats.
— Scan analogue colour originals, if required.
*A press for the purposes of this scheme is any conventional printing device or printing press covered
by THE REFERENCED STANDARD and digital printing devices outputting to THE REFERENCED
STANDARD conditions. For presses with other TVI, or no TVI, than assumed by this document, for
2 © ISO 2020 – All rights reserved
---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
SIST ISO 19301:2022
ISO 19301:2020(E)
example digital presses, adjustments to or simulation of the expected TVI in this document shall be
implemented to ensure that the tone levels are reproduced in the same way.
Compliant product claims
Certified organisations shall only make compliant claims relating to specific printed products, via
invoices and delivery notes, and other product specific documents, to customers, where it is documented
that those products meet the requirements of the certification scheme, and when the organization has
an existing valid accredited certification under this scheme at the time of production.
Organisations shall not claim to be in accordance to THE REFERENCED STANDARD, other than in
relation to a specific printed product.
Customised printing
Customised printing conditions involving the use of non-THE REFERENCED STANDARD or amended
THE REFERENCED STANDARD colour data sets and profiles including digital printing.
It is recognized that there are cases of customer requirements, including non- standard papers,
processes including digital printing, papers, boards and other substrates, inks, etc. may require the use
of printing conditions and ICC profiles which are not covered within THE REFERENCED STANDARD
colour quality standards.
A customised printing condition is defined as: A printing condition that uses a combination of substrates,
inks and printing methods that are not referenced by current THE REFERENCED STANDARD standard
printing conditions.
In this case, any printing company can be certified to these customised printing conditions by
demonstrating that the same controls, systems, policies and measurement tolerances required by this
scheme and the associated ISO standards are adhered to, where it is demonstrated that it is possible
and appropriate to do so. Any proposed certification for a customised printing condition, and relevant
aim values, shall be agreed by the printer seeking certification in advance with the certifying body for
this certification scheme.
4.3 Additional requirements
In addition to the requirements of 5.1, the organization shall:
a) maintain records needed to provide evidence that individual printed products meet the referenced
ISO colour quality standard requirements;
b) where appropriate, ensure adequate control over outsourced printing processes through
identification and use of suppliers with valid certification through this scheme, when printing
products intended to be compliant with the requirements of this scheme and THE REFERENCED
STANDARD;
c) determine if the customer requires a product to be printed in accordance with a specific ISO
standard and that the organization is capable of producing a complaint product (e.g. the printed
matter) according to this standard. Where product requirements are such that the organization
cannot meet the requirements of THE REFERENCED STANDARD, this shall be communicated and
explained to the customer prior to order acceptance;
d) determine and implement effective methods for communicating with customers and suppliers in
relation to:
— acceptability of artwork and/or proofs supplied (for example by providing artwork guides and
references to referenced standards), and
— printed product being in accordance claims on delivery notes, invoices and other customer
related documentation.
© ISO 2020 – All rights reserved 3
---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
SIST ISO 19301:2022
ISO 19301:2020(E)
e) ensure that only authorized and competent personnel have access to systems and files, and that
only authorized users are able to access and manipulate data files. All changes to data files should
be documented and fully attributed to those making the changes;
f) ensure the provision and maintenance of necessary and appropriate controlled lighting conditions,
and access to and use of appropriate colour measuring equipment and software.
4.4 Print(s) being in accordance and certification claims
4.4.1 Claims of conformity
Where the printed matter is claimed to be in accordance with THE REFERENCED STANDARD as defined
by this scheme, the organization can make a claim to the customer, and if so, then shall use only the
following wording:
“this print is in compliance (accredited certification: certification body name;
certificate number)”*
The wording shall be legible and shall be used on invoices, delivery notes, quotations, and other customer
related documentation, and will distinguish between compliant products and others identified on the
documentation.
*in this example the language is English, but this can of course be in the local language.
4.4.2 Certification marks
The organization may make use of the relevant marks and logos supplied by the certification body as
proof of being certified, but only in the way specified by that body.
Claims regarding certification shall only be made in terms that state that:
— the certified organization is capable of consistently printing to meet the requirements of THE
REFERENCED STANDARD (s).
— the certified organization operates a colour quality and production management system, to ensure
that, where required, products are compliant with THE REFERENCED STANDARD(s).
4.5 Outsourced printing
For organisations which outsource the printing of a product(s) and intend to claim that the print(s) are
in accordance, there shall be assurance of that printed matter being in accordance. The organization
shall ensure that:
— a procedure for ensuring the accurate identification of the validity of the certification of the
outsourced supplier is documented and implemented;
— the organization providing the printed product has a valid, accredited and current certification to
THE REFERENCED STANDARD under this scheme and for the relevant printing process at the time
of production;
— records are kept of the validation of the certification of the relevant outsourced suppliers;
— other relevant scheme requirements are met.

4.6 Colour quality policy
The colour quality policy represents the quality policy as far as the colour quality system is concerned.
Senior management shall ensure that the colour quality policy covers, where applicable:
— the ISO standards, and methods of production, within the scope of the certification and the method
of demonstrating to be in accordance;
— the development and maintenance of the competence of all personnel within the scope of the colour
quality and production management system;
— the provision of the necessary infrastructure and equipment necessary for the production of
compliant products and the review of the capabilities of such infrastructure and equipment in the
light of technological and other changes;
— the method for external publication of the Colour quality policy to interested parties.
4.7 Colour champion
The organization shall ensure that there is a colour champion, or equivalent, who fulfils the role of
management representative in relation to the colour quality system, appointed with authority to
manage, monitor, evaluate and coordinate the colour quality and production management system.

(as applicable); , (as applicable); < CUSTOMISED PRINTING CONDITION > , (as and if
applicable).
— Outsourced tone and colour reproduction to < THE REFERENCED STANDARD > : < PRODUCTION
METHOD(s) > , (as applicable); , (as applicable) < CUSTOMISED PRINTING CONDITION > ,
(as and if applicable).
Any change to the scope of the certification shall be agreed to by the certification body.
Site locations of the certified organization shall be defined within the scope. Site locations can only be
included if the colour quality system applies at a particular site to be included, and an audit product test
has been successfully conducted at that site.
Processes which can be included in the scope of the certification are the following:
— pre-press, proofing and PDF file submission to an agreed printing conditions;
— press* only, including plate calibration and TVI curves;
— proofing and press*, including plate calibration and TVI curves;
— pre-press, proofing and press*;
— outsourced printing in any of the above categories.
Organisations are deemed to provide pre-press services when some or all of the following activities are
undertaken by the organization itself.
— Process and correct and/or colour manage clients application files.
— Process, colour manage and/or retouch images.
— Pre-flight and correct and/or colour manage PDF or other file formats.
— Scan analogue colour originals, if required.

example digital presses, adjustments to or simulation of the expected TVI in this document shall be
implemented to ensure that the tone levels are reproduced in the same way.
Compliant product claims
Certified organisations shall only make compliant claims relating to specific printed products, via
invoices and delivery notes, and other product specific documents, to customers, where it is documented
that those products meet the requirements of the certification scheme, and when the organization has
an existing valid accredited certification under this scheme at the time of production.
Organisations shall not claim to be in accordance to THE REFERENCED STANDARD, other than in
relation to a specific printed product.
Customised printing
Customised printing conditions involving the use of non-THE REFERENCED STANDARD or amended
THE REFERENCED STANDARD colour data sets and profiles including digital printing.
It is recognized that there are cases of customer requirements, including non- standard papers,
processes including digital printing, papers, boards and other substrates, inks, etc. may require the use
of printing conditions and ICC profiles which are not covered within THE REFERENCED STANDARD
colour quality standards.
A customised printing condition is defined as: A printing condition that uses a combination of substrates,
inks and printing methods that are not referenced by current THE REFERENCED STANDARD standard
printing conditions.
In this case, any printing company can be certified to these customised printing conditions by
demonstrating that the same controls, systems, policies and measurement tolerances required by this
scheme and the associated ISO standards are adhered to, where it is demonstrated that it is possible
and appropriate to do so. Any proposed certification for a customised printing condition, and relevant
aim values, shall be agreed by the printer seeking certification in advance with the certifying body for
this certification scheme.
4.3 Additional requirements
In addition to the requirements of 5.1, the organization shall:
a) maintain records needed to provide evidence that individual printed products meet the referenced
ISO colour quality standard requirements;
b) where appropriate, ensure adequate control over outsourced printing processes through
identification and use of suppliers with valid certification through this scheme, when printing
products intended to be compliant with the requirements of this scheme and THE REFERENCED
STANDARD;
c) determine if the customer requires a product to be printed in accordance with a specific ISO
standard and that the organization is capable of producing a complaint product (e.g. the printed
matter) according to this standard. Where product requirements are such that the organization
cannot meet the requirements of THE REFERENCED STANDARD, this shall be communicated and
explained to the customer prior to order acceptance;
d) determine and implement effective methods for communicating with customers and suppliers in
relation to:
— acceptability of artwork and/or proofs supplied (for example by providing artwork guides and
references to referenced standards), and
— printed product being in accordance claims on delivery notes, invoices and other customer
related documentation.

Introduction
This document specifies requirements for certification schemes for certifying the production of printed
products. Quality and repeatability are ensured by applying total quality control according to ISO 9001
as the overarching method, coupled with print specific ISO standards.
A certification can be centred around any ISO standard related to print production. It will therefore
use the term THE REFERENCED STANDARD as a pointer to the actual standard that is referenced in
the certification scheme. Digital presses that can match an output condition of THE REFERENCED
STANDARD are also intended to be included for certification.
While this scheme assumes familiarity and adoption of a quality management systems based on the
requirements of ISO 9001, it doesn’t intend to assess or audit an organization’s conformity to a complete
implementation of ISO 9001.
The use of this document should make it easier to compare certifications worldwide.
A scheme developed according to this document can be validated by accreditation organisations to
produce verifiable results.
In this document:
— “shall” indicates a requirement;
— “should” indicates a recommendation;
— “may” indicates a permission;
— “can” indicates a possibility or a capability.
Information marked “NOTE” is for guidance in understanding or clarifying the associated requirement.
