17、zed system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical commi
18、ttees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. Internationa
19、l Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Pub
20、lication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all s
21、uch patent rights. ISO/IEC 16388 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 31, Automatic identification and data capture techniques. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/IEC 16388:1999), which has been technically revi

23、d dimensions. There are numerous methods of encoding information in bar code form, known as symbologies. Code 39 is one such symbology. The rules defining the translation of characters into bar and space patterns and other essential features are known as the symbology specification. In the past, sym
24、bology specifications were developed and published by a number of organizations, resulting in certain instances in conflicting requirements for certain symbologies. Manufacturers of bar code equipment and users of bar code technology require publicly available standard symbology specifications to wh
25、ich they can refer when developing equipment and application standards.

32、s follows. a) Encodable character set: 1) full alphanumeric A to Z and 0 to 9 (ASCII characters 65 to 90 and 48 to 57 inclusive, in accordance with ISO 646).

34、s and 4 spaces. d) Character self-checking: yes. e) Data string length encodable: variable. f) Bidirectionally decodable: yes. g) Symbol check character: one, optional (see Annex A). h) Symbol character density: 13 to 16 modules per symbol character, inclusive of minimum intercharacter gap, dependin
35、g on wide/narrow ratio. i) Non-data overhead: equivalent to 2 symbol characters. 4.2 Symbol structure As illustrated in Figure 1, Code 39 symbols shall comprise a) leading quiet zone; b) start character; c) one or more symbol characters representing data (including symbol check character, if present
36、); d) stop character; e) trailing quiet zone. A space, the intercharacter gap, shall separate characters within the symbol. QUIET ZONE START CHARACTER “1“ “A“ STOP CHARACTER QUIET ZONE1AFigure 1 Code 39 symbol 4.3 Character encodation 4.3.1 Symbol character structure Each symbol character comprises
37、nine elements (five bars and four spaces) of which six are always narrow (either three narrow bars and three narrow spaces, or five narrow bars and one narrow space) and three are always wide (one wide space and two wide bars when there are three narrow bars, or three wide spaces when there are five
38、 narrow bars). This parity feature enables character self-checking to be carried out.
