14、andards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International o
15、rganizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees ar

26、national Standard, a reader shall conform to the following requirements. 4.1 Magnification Measure the magnification in accordance with ISO7565. The actual magnification shall be within 5% of the manufacturers stated magnification. 4.2 Image quality 4.2.1 Resolution When the image of the microtest c
27、hart is positioned on the screen and with the reader at best focus 2) , the minimum sized characters or test patterns as shown inTable 1 orTable 2 for the specified magnification shall be resolved at all points within the measurement area of the screen (seeFigure 1). The resolution test is made with
28、 either of the two microtest charts (ISO No.1 or ISO No.2). The test image used shall be capable of resolving at least four patterns higher than specified inTable 2 for the appropriate magnification. For readers having a magnification between the values listed inTable 1 orTable 2, the character or p
29、attern to be resolved shall be that of the closest to the listed nominal magnification. The methods of reading the character or pattern resolved are described in ISO446 and ISO3334. 1) To be published. 2) The best focus is the setting of the focusing control which is judged to produce the best overa
30、ll level of screen image resolution within the measurement area. This setting is found experimentally and will usually be somewhere between the setting which produces the highest resolution at the centre of the screen and the settings which produce the highest resolution at the corners.ISO 6198:1993
31、(E) 2 BSI 11-1999 4.2.2 Geometric distortion When the image of a straight line is projected onto any part of the measurement area (seeFigure 1) of a flat reader screen, the projected image shall be compared to a straightedge held next to the projected line. When measured in accordance with ISO7565,
32、the pincushion or barrel distortion shall not exceed0,5% and the keystone or skew distortion shall not exceed2%. Less distortion may be required for technical drawing applications, whereas more distortion may be allowable for some office applications. Under these circumstances, the allowable distort
33、ion shall be agreed between manufacturer and purchaser.

34、upon specifically made microtest charts which may require calculations togive true values) 4.3 Screen luminance and contrast 4.3.1 Screen luminance 4.3.1.1 Procedure Measure screen luminance in accordance with ISO7565. The procedure outlined gives values of luminance that would be seen by a user whe
35、n in the normal viewing position (see ISO7565, Annex A). 4.3.1.2 Requirements At any point within the measurement area of the screen (seeFigure 1), the luminance shall not be less than 35cd/m 2 . The minimum luminance at the centre of the screen shall not be less than140cd/m 2 . 4.3.1.2.1 Rear proje
36、ction readers The relationship in luminance between the maximum value and the minimum value shall not exceed a ratio of10, except for those readers with very large screens, i.e.having a diagonal greater than540 mm where the ratio shall not exceed15. 4.3.1.2.2 Front projection readers The relationshi
37、p in luminance between the maximum value and the minimum value shall not exceed a ratio of5. 4.3.2 Screen contrast 4.3.2.1 Procedure Measure screen contrast in accordance with ISO7565. 4.3.2.2 Requirements The screen contrast expressed as a luminance ratio shall be a minimum of10. In general, a high
38、er screen contrast is preferred. 4.4 Safety 4.4.1 Stability of reader Readers that are designed to stand on a flat and horizontal surface such as a desk, table or floor shall not tip over when tested in accordance with the method described in IEC950. 4.4.2 Temperature 4.4.2.1 Film temperature in the
39、 film gate Film gate temperatures shall be measured in accordance with ISO7565. The temperature of the film in the film gate shall not exceed70 C when measured after60min of continuous operation with the reader in focus and the lamp operating at the highest brightness setting permitted by the reader

The temperature of reader surfaces shall not exce
43、ed the values given after the reader has been operated in an area with an ambient temperature of23 C 2 C for1h. The voltage used shall be equal to1,06 times the highest rated voltage (if it is known) or1,06 times the average voltage of the stated voltage range. 4.4.3 Fire hazard Readers shall be con
44、structed in accordance with the appropriate requirements of IEC950. Resistance to spread of flames and nonemission of toxic fumes are particularly important. 4.5 Noise Airborne noise emitted by readers shall be measured while the reader is operated at its rated voltage under two operating modes: dur
45、ing normal viewing conditions; during microform changing or transport such as rewinding roll film, changing cartridges or microfiche in the carrier. The airborne noise shall be measured in accordance with ISO7779. The A-weighted sound power level obtained by using the procedures specified in ISO7779
46、 shall be used for comparison of the airborne noise emitted by different readers. Sound power level data may be supplemented by the A-weighted sound pressure level measured at the operators position(s) or bystanders position(s) as defined in ISO7779. For each mode of operation, the appropriate state
47、ments of ISO7779 shall be used to indicate the sound pressure level. For readers that are to be used in a quiet area such as a library reading room, the A-weighted sound pressure level during normal viewing conditions shall not exceed50dB, and during any rapid motion shall not exceed60dB. Impulsive
48、noise for the equipment should not exceed75dB. NOTEMeasurement area of the screen is defined as the central area formed by connecting the points of the diagonals that are located from the corners at a distance of10% of the screen diagonal lengths. That is, the area within the dashed rectangle. If th
49、e corners of the screen are rounded, the length of the diagonals and the points from which readings are taken shall be calculated from the extrapolated edges of the screen. Screens may be either square or a vertical or horizontal rectangle.
