ISO/IEC 15416:2000, Information technology -- Automatic identification and data capture techniques -- Bar code print quality test specification -- Linear symbols

This International Standardspecifies 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.
