BS EN ISO/IEC 15416:2002

This standard BS EN ISO/IEC 15416:2002 Information technology. Automatic identification and data capture techniques. Bar code print quality test specification. Linear symbols is classified in these ICS categories:

• 01.080.50 Graphical symbols for use on information technology and telecommunications technical drawings and in relevant technical product documentation
• 35.040.50 Automatic identification and data capture techniques

This International Standard

• specifies the methodology for the measurement of specific attributes of bar code symbols;

• defines a method for evaluating these measurements and deriving an overall assessment of symbol quality;

• gives information on possible causes of deviation from optimum grades to assist users in taking appropriate corrective action.

This International Standard applies to those symbologies for which a reference decode algorithm has been defined, and which are intended to be read using linear scanning methods, but its methodology can be applied partially or wholly to other symbologies.
