provided by JAISA

Contribution of Hiroyuki Imai,

ISO/IEC 24458 “Information technology – Automatic identification and data capture techniques – bar code printer and bar code reader performance testing specification” was published on May 5, 2022, which is the first useful international standard that specifies how to evaluate performances of a bar code printer and a barcode reader. Please adopt the new international standard for evaluation of your products.

This standard also specifies test charts to be used for testing of a bar code reader.

JAISA(Japan Automatic Identification Systems Association) has prepared the test chart kit, see fig. 1.

Figure 1) JAISA test chart kit includes 64 test charts for linear and 2d-bar codes
