AI-CCS-UPC/EAN-E Rev S Conformance Calibration Standard Test Card for UPC/EAN Symbol Verifiers

For those who prefer a traditional vertical format calibration test card, APPLIED IMAGE offers our new Conformance Calibration Standard Enhanced for UPC/EAN Bar Code Symbol Verifiers. The new standard complies with both the ANSI X3.182 and ISO 15416 standards and is ideal for testing of verifiers, scanners, and other UPC bar reading equipment as well as a tool for training new operators to assure proper “methodology’ in the use of verifiers.

As a one-piece durable test chart, the new Conformance Calibration Standard Enhanced Test Card has been upgraded with five precision 100% size UPC 1D symbols: one EAN-13 Master Grade; and four UPC codes: UPC-A Master Grade; Defects (Void); Decodability (Bar); Contrast; all in Grade C, and four calibrated reflectance patches. Each symbol has a minimal small bar size of 330 microns (0.013 inch).

The new AI-CCS-UPC/EAN-SECCAL test card is manufactured on special high definition photo paper material, calibrated using an extremely high-resolution reflection micro-densitometer as well as NIST Traceability, for reflectance and linear dimensions, individually serialized and is Judge Certified in accordance with ISO-15416 and ISO-15426-1 and ANSI X3.182 standards. The main calibration parameter results of each symbol is recorded on the test card near each symbol and on the accompanying Calibration Report. A statement of estimated uncertainty is documented on the Calibration Certificate. Both the Calibration Report and Certificate are included with each test card. The test card is laminated to a rigid, flat plastic board to minimize internal reflections. This thicker and flatter backing material is superior to what was previously provided on other cards.
