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 also defines the tests to be made on copying machines in order to verify the specifications given in the specification sheets, when no other Standards are available. 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 Intenational Standard.
