Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the Inter-
national Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for world-
wide standardization. National bodies that are members of IS0 or IEC participate
in the development of International Standards through technical committees
established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of
technical activity. IS0 and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of
mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-
governmental, in liaison with IS0 and IEC, also take part in the work.
In the field of information technology, IS0 and IEC have established a joint
technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. Draft International Standards adopted by the
joint technical committee 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.
International Standard ISO/IEC 11 159 was prepared by Joint Technical Com-
mittee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology.
Annex A of this International Standard is for information only.

Introduction
Copying machines of many different types and capacities are now available
and their specifications vary so widely that it is difficult for potential users to
assess which machine might best meet their requirements.

Scope
This International Standard is intended to facilitate the users in selecting a copying machine which
meets their requirements.
This International Standard specifies the minimum information that shall be included in the
specification sheets of copying machines so that users may compare the characteristics of different
machines.
This International Standard applies to copying machines that could be operated in an office
environment. Copying machines requiring specially equipped rooms or specially instructed operators
are not considered in this International Standard.
Normative references
The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions
of this International Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All
standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this International Standard are
encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards listed
below. Members of IEC and IS0 maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.

Conformance
In order to comply with this International Standard, specification sheets shall contain, in the order
shown, all items listed in clause 4 which are relevant to the machine being described.
Information to be included in the specification sheets
The following table defines, for each parameter, the number and name of the parameter and a short
description of the entry. These constitute the information to be included in the specification sheet.
The heading of the specification sheet shall indicate that it has been prepared in accordance with this
International Standard. The numbers and headings of the table in clause 4 shall be used. Not
applicable parameters may be ignored, without changing the number of other parameters.
The "Remarks and examples" column is provided for the persons who prepare the information sheet,
and it is not intended to appear in the specification sheet.
Whenever a capacity is given in sheets, the reference paper weight shall be specified.
