National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields

9、 of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joi

10、nt technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committe

11、e are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national 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 and IEC shall n

12、ot be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO/IEC 16388 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 31, Automatic identification and data capture techniques. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (I

13、SO/IEC 16388:1999), which has been technically revised. BS ISO/IEC 16388:2007v Introduction The technology of bar coding is based on the recognition of patterns encoded in bars and spaces of defined dimensions. There are numerous methods of encoding information in bar code form, known as symbologies

14、. Code 39 is one such symbology. The rules defining the translation of characters into bar and space patterns and other essential features are known as the symbology specification. In the past, symbology specifications were developed and published by a number of organizations, resulting in certain i

15、nstances in conflicting requirements for certain symbologies. Manufacturers of bar code equipment and users of bar code technology require publicly available standard symbology specifications to which they can refer when developing equipment and application standards.

22、ccordance with ISO 646). BS ISO/IEC 16388:20072 2) special characters: space $ % + - . / (ASCII characters 32, 36, 37, 43, 45, 46 and 47, respectively, in accordance with ISO 646). 3) start/stop character. b) Code type: discrete. c) Elements per symbol character: 9, of which 3 wide and 6 narrow, com

23、prising 5 bars and 4 spaces. d) Character self-checking: yes. e) Data string length encodable: variable. f) Bidirectionally decodable: yes. g) Symbol check character: one, optional (see Annex A). h) Symbol character density: 13 to 16 modules per symbol character, inclusive of minimum intercharacter

This character shall not form part of the data encoded elsewhere in

32、 the symbol and shall not be transmitted by the decoder. The start character shall be positioned at the normal left end of the data symbol characters, separated from the first bar of the leading data character by an intercharacter gap. The stop character shall be positioned at the normal right end o

33、f the data symbol characters (including symbol check character if present), separated from the final bar of the trailing data character by an intercharacter gap. 4.3.4 Optional symbol check character Annex A defines the symbol check character position and calculation. 4.4 Dimensions Code 39 symbolog

34、y shall use the following nominal dimensions. a) Width of narrow element (X): the X dimension of Code 39 symbols should be defined by the application specification having due regard to the availability of equipment for the production and reading of symbols and complying with the general requirements

35、 of the application. See 4.7.1. b) Wide/narrow ratio (N): 2,0 : 1 to 3,0 : 1. BS ISO/IEC 16388:20075 c) Width of intercharacter gap (I): 1) minimum: equal to X; 2) maximum: for X 0,287 mm: 5,3X; for X 0,287 mm: 1,52 mm or 3X, whichever is greater. d) Minimum width of quiet zone: 10X. e) Recommended

36、minimum bar code height for manual scanning: 5,0 mm or 15 % of symbol width excluding quiet zones, whichever is greater. NOTE The width, W (in millimetres), of a Code 39 symbol, including quiet zones, can be calculated from the following expression: () () ( ) 23 6 1 2 =+ + + WC NXCIQ where W is the

37、symbol width; C is the number of data characters (including symbol check character if used); N is the wide/narrow ratio; X is the width of a narrow element in millimetres; l is the width of the intercharacter gap in millimetres; Q is the width of the quiet zone in millimetres. 4.5 Reference decode a

38、lgorithm Bar code reading systems are designed to read imperfect symbols to the extent that practical algorithms permit. This section describes the reference decode algorithm used in the computation of the decodability value described in ISO/IEC 15416. a) Confirm presence of a leading quiet zone. b)

39、 For each symbol character (including start and stop characters): 1) Measure the total width of 5 bars and 4 spaces; call this S. 2) Compute a threshold value, T = S / 8. 3) Compare each element width for that character with the value T. If element width is greater than T, assume element is wide; if

40、 not, assume element is narrow. 4) Determine if pattern of wide and narrow elements matches a valid character from the allowable set. c) The first symbol character read must be a start/stop character, from which the scan direction can be deduced. d) Continue character reading until a valid start/sto

41、p character is encountered. e) Confirm presence of a trailing quiet zone. BS ISO/IEC 16388:20076 4.6 Symbol quality 4.6.1 Test specification In order to verify whether a symbol meets the specifications in this International Standard it shall be tested using the test specification defined in ISO/IEC

42、15416, which defines a standardized methodology for measuring and grading bar code symbols, as supplemented in 4.6.2. ISO/IEC 15416 lays down conditions under which measurements should be made; and defines methods of determining an overall quality grade based on the attributes of the bar code symbol

43、. The reference decode algorithm defined in 4.5 shall be used for the assessment of the “decode“ and “decodability“ parameters under ISO/IEC 15416. The overall symbol grade shall be expressed in the form shown in the following example: 1,5 / 10 / 660 where 1,5 is the overall symbol quality grade; 10

44、 is the measuring aperture reference number (in this example 0,25 mm diameter); 660 is the peak response wavelength in nanometres. ISO/IEC 15416 allows for additional pass/fail criteria to be stipulated by a symbology specification. For Code 39, the additional criteria are given in 4.6.2. Any indivi

45、dual scan profile which does not meet these requirements shall receive a grade of 0. 4.6.2 Additional parameters 4.6.2.1 Wide/narrow ratio Symbols shall be produced with a nominal N from 2,0 to 3,0 inclusive. The measured value of N in any scan profile shall be in the range 1,8 to 3,4 inclusive. The

46、 wide/narrow ratio in the scan reflectance profile under ISO/IEC 15416 shall be measured and graded as follows. 1,8 N 3,4: Grade 4. N 3,4: Grade 0. 4.6.2.2 Intercharacter gap For symbols with a measured narrow element width (Z) less than 0,287 mm, the maximum allowed intercharacter gap is 5,3Z. For

47、symbols with Z greater than or equal to 0,287 mm, the maximum intercharacter gap is the greater of 3Z or 1,52 mm. Each intercharacter gap in the scan reflectance profile under ISO/IEC 15416 shall be measured and graded as follows. I G max : Grade 4. I G max : Grade 0. where G max= 5,3Z for Z 0,287 m

48、m or G max= MAX(1,52 mm, 3Z) for Z 0,287 mm BS ISO/IEC 16388:20077 4.6.2.3 Quiet zone The quiet zone at each end of the symbol shall be a minimum of 10Z. Both left and right quiet zones on each scan reflectance profile under ISO/IEC 15416 shall be measured and graded as follows. Quiet Zone 10Z: Grad

49、e 4. Quiet Zone 10Z: Grade 0. NOTE In 4.6.2.1 to 4.6.2.3, the requirements are based on the actual, rather than intended, measurements of the parameter; for this reason the Z dimension is appropriate rather than the X dimension. 4.7 Application-defined parameters 4.7.1 Symbology and dimensional characteristics In
