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 standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/lEC Directives, Part 3. 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 8514-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 171, Document imaging applications, Subcommittee SC 1, Quality. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (IsO 8514-2:1992) which has been technically revised. IsO 8514 consists of the following parts, under the general title Micrographics - Alphanumeric computer output microforms Quality control: Part 1: Characteristics of the test slide and test data Part 2: Method Annex A of this part of ISO 8514 is for information only. oservec ili ISO 8514-2:2000(E) Introduction valid, reliable methods by which the quality of the images can be measured.

This International Standard applies only to COM recorders that use a physical form slide. This International Standard describes various systems and equipment to establish test guidelines whereby the user can establish and maintain a given level of performance using the minimum of sophisticated equipment. The method requires a test form slide and test data generated from the COM image generator. Part 1 of this International Standard specifies the characteristics of the test slide and of the test data used for applying this method. @ ISO 2000 - All rig
