Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right t

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.The procedures use

In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules o

Post-press is the last but not the least process in the production flow of b
19、ound products, which includes pre-press, printing and post-press. This International Standard introduces the use of the standardization approach to accomplish the conversion of printed sheets into end products and to achieve the desired result.Post-press production has a significant effect on the ap
20、pearance, usability and durability of bound products. The aim of this International Standard is to address the major quality elements in post-press production of such products.Post-press production of bound products involves four major processes: cutting, folding, assembling and binding. As the proc
21、ess steps are interrelated and sequential, any deviations from current practice can lead to deficiencies in the end product. Accordingly, this International Standard specifies technical requirements and tolerances for the outcomes of processing operations in order to avoid quality deficiencies. Alth
22、ough material specification is not covered in this International Standard because this is not normally the responsibility of the finisher, it is recommended that, if a long life is required for the bound product, ISO 9706 gives guidance.This International Standard is expected to benefit both manufac
23、turers and customers in the printing and publishing industries in terms of the production and assessment of bound products.The use of this International Standard is intended to enhance overall process control of the production of bound products, enhance production efficiency and accuracy in post-pre
24、ss processes, reduce occurrence of remakes resulting from inadequate working methods, and promote transparency of the quality requirements of post-press operations in a universally understood manner.This International Standard does not cover special effect or surface decorations.

39、in which the single sheets are held together by a plastic or metal binding tool (spiral, wire-o and comb), showing a particular good lay-flat behaviour.Note 1 to entry: This method is used mainly for products that need to lay flat when opened, such as board books, cookbooks, notebooks, calendars and
