ISO 3334-1976 rus PDF

Full title and description

Microcopying — ISO Test chart No. 2 — Description and use in photographic documentary reproduction. This entry refers to the original ISO publication issued in 1976; a Russian-language edition or commercial PDF distribution is sometimes listed under the designation "Ст ISO 3334-1976 (rus)".

Abstract

ISO 3334:1976 defines the ISO Test Chart No. 2 and describes its application for evaluating the resolving power in microcopying and photographic documentary reproduction. The standard establishes how to use the chart as part of quality control for microfilming and reproduced microforms.

General information

• Status: Withdrawn (original 1976 edition withdrawn; later revised editions published).
• Publication date: 1976 (first edition published September 1976).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 37.080 — Document imaging applications / micrographics.
• Edition / version: Edition 1 (1976).
• Number of pages: 4 pages (original publication).

Scope

Specifies the form and use of ISO Test Chart No. 2 for assessing resolution in microcopying (photographic reproduction of documents) by determining the minimum size of detail that can be reliably reproduced. The original 1976 text addresses photographic documentary reproduction and the use of the chart as part of a microcopying quality-assurance procedure; later revisions expanded and clarified its application within micrographics practice.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and graphical description of ISO Test Chart No. 2 (test patterns and target layout).
• Procedure for using the chart to determine resolving power in a camera/film/processing microfilming chain.
• Method for expressing and reporting resolving power (minimum recognizable detail size).
• Use of the test chart as part of routine quality control for microcopying and documentary photographic reproduction.
• Notes on limitations and applicability (later editions clarify exclusions such as some reader/printer and COM imaging systems).

Typical use and users

Used by micrographics technicians, archival and library imaging specialists, photographic repro labs, quality-control personnel in document digitization projects, and standards bodies preparing or verifying microfilm/microform test targets. Typical activities include system acceptance testing, periodic QC checks, and documentation of imaging system resolving power.

Related standards

Subsequent revisions and related ISO publications include ISO 3334:1989 (revision of the 1976 edition) and ISO 3334:2006 (current edition describing ISO resolution test chart No. 2 and its use in micrographics). Standards in the same ICS area (37.080) and other micrographics quality-control documents (for example, standards addressing COM recorders or additional test targets) are commonly referenced alongside ISO 3334.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 3334:1976 is the original international standard that specifies ISO Test Chart No. 2 for assessing resolution in microcopying and photographic documentary reproduction.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the design and use of Test Chart No. 2 and the procedure for determining and expressing the resolving power of a camera/film/processing combination used in microcopying systems. Later editions refine scope and application within micrographics practice.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Archivists, libraries, micrographics and reprographics labs, imaging QA/QC personnel, and organizations involved in documentary reproduction and long-term preservation of records.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 1976 edition has been withdrawn and subsequently revised — notable revisions include ISO 3334:1989 and the currently published ISO 3334:2006 (the 2006 text is the active edition as reviewed and confirmed in subsequent ISO reviews).

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 3334 is part of a family of micrographics/microcopying standards maintained under ISO/TC 171 and related subcommittees; it relates to other test-chart and quality-control standards for micrographics and document imaging.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Microcopying, micrographics, ISO test chart, resolution, resolving power, microfilm, microform, photographic reproduction, ISO 3334.
