Abstract / scope
ISO/IEC 15416:2016:
- 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; and
- provides information on possible causes of deviation from optimum grades to assist users in taking appropriate corrective action.
ISO/IEC 15416:2016 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.
