12、n 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 been established has
13、 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 standardization. Inter
14、national Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publicat
15、ion as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member 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 shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent righ
16、ts. ISO 12637-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 130, Graphic technology.

These exchanges oft
18、en become difficult, either because of the great variety of terms used in various fields or languages to express the same concept, or because of the absence or the imprecision of useful concepts. To avoid misunderstandings due to this situation and to facilitate such exchanges, it is advisable to se
19、lect terms to be used in various languages or in various countries to express the same concept and to establish definitions providing satisfactory equivalents for the various terms in different languages. The purpose of this part of ISO 12637 is to provide definitions that are rigorous, uncomplicate
20、d and which can be understood by all concerned. This part of ISO 12637 contains terms and definitions of printing technology and addresses printing systems and processes.
