18、ational Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards 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 b
19、een established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, 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 sta
20、ndardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO 9923 was prepared by Technical C
21、ommittee ISO/TC 171, Micrographics and optical memories for document and image recording, storage and use. This first edition cancels and replaces ISO 2707:1980, ISO 2708:1980 and ISO5126:1980. The most significant technical changes from these standards are the following: source document microfiche,
22、 of uniform and of variable formats, and COM microfiche are now covered by a single standard; the image arrangements of 49, 98, 270 and 420 frames and the single microfiche are part of the standard; uniform formats with image arrangements of 30, 60, 63, 84, 208, 210 and325 frames and variable format
23、s with image arrangements of2,4,8,16,32 and 64 frames are dealt with in an annex; the image arrangements of 270 and 420 frames can be used for the microfilming of source documents (reduction ratio 1 : 48); the index pagination method has been changed. Annex A, Annex B and Annex C of this Internation
24、al Standard are for information only.ISO9923:1994(E) BSI 08-1999 1 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the characteristics of transparent A6 size microfiche, from both source documents and COM, intended for international interchange of information and for micropublishing. It is applicable
25、to microfiche of uniform format with image arrangements of 49, 98, 270 and 420 frames and a single frame microfiche. Depending on requirements, the microfiche may be negative-appearing or positive-appearing. An annex specifies the characteristics of microfiche of uniform format with image arrangemen
26、t of 30, 60, 63, 84, 208, 210 and 325 frames and microfiche of variable divisions of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and64 frames used for certain applications. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standa

35、 characteristics of microfiche 4.1 Physical characteristics 4.1.1 Raw film The film used for exposure and duplication can be either roll film, which will then be cut to the dimensions for the microfiche, or sheet film. It shall conform to ISO 543, ISO 6148 and ISO 10602. 4.1.2 Dimensions of the micr
36、ofiche The external dimensions of the processed microfiche, when measured from the reference corner, shall be 105 mm 148 mm The dimensions shall be measured when the film has come to equilibrium, after processing, at a temperature of 23 C 2 C and a relative humidity within the range 45 % to 55 %. 0
37、0,75 0 1ISO9923:1994(E) 2 BSI 08-1999 Size variations due to raw stock finishing have been considered in determining the tolerances. Additional size changes can occur during ageing, especially for film coated on cellulose ester base. Temporary size changes due to temperature and humidity changes are
38、 also possible (see Annex B and ISO 6148). Microfiche cut to the A6 sheet size before processing can be out of the tolerances quoted after processing because the high temperature required for processing can cause stretching and shrinking. 4.1.3 Identification of the sensitised side of sheet film To
39、facilitate microfiche-to-microfiche copying, a notch or a corner cut may be used to identify the sensitised layer of the microfiche, as follows: When a sheet of raw film or microfiche is held with the long sides in a vertical position and the notch or corner cut in the upper right-hand corner, the s
40、ensitised side shall be towards the observer. When a notch is used, it shall be made in the shorter side of the sheet, near the appropriate corner. The notch may be of any shape, but it shall not penetrate more than 1,6 mm inward from the edge of the microfiche. When a corner cut is used, it shall b
41、e made only in the appropriate corner of the heading area. The nominal dimensions of the cut are 4 mm along the longer side of the microfiche and 4 mm along the shorter side. 4.1.4 Squareness The deviation from squareness and edge straightness of any microfiche cut to A6 size after processing shall
42、be limited by two separate perfect rectangles, one made to the minimum dimensional tolerance specified in this International Standard and the other to the maximum tolerance. No point on the perimeter of the sheet shall fall within the smaller rectangle, nor shall any point fall outside the large rec
43、tangle. (See 4.2.1 for dimensions.) NOTE1Certain duplicating processes, such as thermal, may be unable to meet these requirements, in which case the microfiche may be unsuitable for automated devices. 4.1.5 Thickness The thickness of the film used for the microfiche shall not be greater than 0,22 mm
44、 or less than0,10mm. 4.1.6 Corner rounding The corners of the microfiche may be rounded, the exception being that corner which has been subjected to a corner cut. When corners are rounded, the process shall not remove more than 3 mm of either of the two edges forming the corner. 4.1.7 Curl and bow P
45、lace a fully processed microfiche cut to distribution size convex side down on a flat surface for at least6h in an atmosphere in which the temperature is 23 C 2 C and the relative humidity (50 5) %. Thereafter, no part of the microfiche shall be more than 6,5 mm above the surface (see ISO 4330:1987,
46、 test method C). 4.2 Heading 4.2.1 Heading area The heading area of the microfiche, situated above the image area, shall be reserved for heading area coating, eye-legible identification and references. The dimensions of the heading area for various formats are indicated in Table 1 and Table A.1. If
47、extra space is needed, the space allocated to the whole of the following row(s) of images may be used. In this case, the identification of the remaining image frames as defined in 4.3 shall remain unchanged. 4.2.2 Arrangement of the heading The heading area may be divided into three distinct areas i
48、n the sequence shown inFigure 1. The length of each section is not fixed and is determined by the user (see ISO 5123). 4.2.2.1 Identification area This area shall be used for identification of the microfiche and any reference to the confidentiality of the microfiche. 4.2.2.2 Bibliographic area This
49、area is reserved for bibliographical references specifying the contents of the microfiche. When more complete information is necessary for other purposes, such as classification and cataloguing, use the first frames of the microfiche. Copyright details shall be included at the bottom of this area. 4.2.2.3 Sequential area Machine-readable characters and optical codes shall be placed in the upper right portion of this area, w
