STANDARDS: WHAT ARE THEY

AND WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT?
Standards: What Are They and Why Are They Important?

Standards are documented consensus agreements containing safety or technical specifications or other precise criteria to be used consistently as rules, guidelines, or definitions of characteristics for materials, products, processes and services. In many cases, they provide uniformity which allows worldwide acceptance and application of a product or material. The aim is to facilitate trade, exchange and technology transfer. Standards help to remove technical barriers to trade, leading to new markets and economic growth for the industry. Standards committees provide a forum where peers and competitors can come together for mutual benefit. Through ANSI, ISO and IEC activities, you and your company can play a leading role in the development of national and international standards that affect our industry, enhancing your technical strength and market position. Today, companies are facing fundamental changes in the way they must do business. Strategies and business practices are continuously being evaluated to determine how to maintain and increase market share, reduce costs, increase productivity and safety, and achieve and maintain a competitive edge. Standards have been in existence for many years. At one time they were thought of as being the lowest common denominator, restrictive, and of little importance. That has changed. Today, standards are recognized as being essential to helping companies be innovative, reduce costs, improve quality and maintain competitiveness in an international marketplace. As we move toward a global economy, standardization issues continue to grow more complex. They are critical to the survival and prosperity of companies marketing internationally. As more international trade agreements are implemented, domestic manufacturers will face growing competition from international concerns. Standardization provides a way to help shrink barriers to trade. Standards for the printing, publishing, and converting industry will enable processes to run faster, more predictably, more efficiently, and be more cost effective by: providing uniform, defined procedures and tools which help users produce quality products for their customers; facilitating interconnectivity and process integration among systems, both CEPS and desktop, allowing users to communicate with one another easily; enhancing product quality and reliability at a reasonable price; increasing distribution efficiency and ease of maintenance; and improving health, safety and environmental protection, and reduction of waste. Safety standards provide guidelines for the design of safer equipment and for improved safety programs in the workplace. They provide for greater awareness of safety in the design of equipment, and increased consistency in operating procedures. They also emphasize that safety is the responsibility of everyone, including the equipment manufacturer, the owner, the operator and the maintenance personnel. Implementation of safety features and procedures, along with advances in personnel training, will result in a decrease of injuries. This, in turn, will result in a safer work environment, less time lost from the job due to injuries, and reductions in workers compensation costs. Technical standards describe how to do a particular procedure in a defined way, with the goal of achieving compatibility and interchange of information between equipment, practices and procedures, and producing
output with more predictable results. They help also to characterize various parts of the printing process, resulting in the development of characterization data which can be used by software programs. Technical standards can make information systems easier to use and less expensive to operate. They allow communication between information users, publishers and other information providers about key methods, practices, procedures and formats reflecting marketplace requirements. The adoption of technical standards facilitates the expansion of both domestic and international markets. They also provide users with an assurance that products and services from various sources meet a recognized level of quality. To the extent that such products and services are interchangeable, technical standards promote competition among suppliers and offer increased prospects for cost efficiencies. Many of the standards developed by the U.S. standards committees are now being introduced into the international standards arena, forming the basis for the development of international consensus standards. Today, standards are no longer just for manufacturing. Whether you are a manufacturer, a reseller, a product user or a print buyer, standardization can be of benefit to you. You are encouraged to familiarize yourself with these industry standards, and to become actively involved in the development of new standards. It takes the cooperation of both the equipment and product vendors and the users to develop standards which will best serve the industry. Even if you are unable to attend meetings, you can become involved by reviewing draft documents under development and providing comments. By familiarizing yourself with the standards for the industry, you can bring them to the attention of others, and encourage their implementation. Standards efforts to strengthen the industry can only be successful through the commitment of the industry to provide the technical personnel resources to develop and implement sound technical and safety standards. Although company budgets are tight, and personnel resources stretched, it is increasingly important that U.S. manufacturers of equipment and technology, as well as the users of this equipment and technology, not only keep up-to-date on standards activities, but also become active participants in standards development. The time and cost are minimal relative to potential benefit for your business.

The Economic Benefits of Standardization

The German Institute for Standardization (DIN) commissioned a research study to determine the value of standardization to corporations. The study was developed from questionnaires sent to over 4,000 companies in 10 industry sectors, selected at random, in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The final report on that study, entitled The Economic Benefits of Standardization, is available in English from the DIN website http://www.din.de/aktuelles/benefit.html. Following are quotes from the report, and from Part A, which focused on both the benefits of standards for business and on the benefits for the economy as a whole. In comparing both company-developed standards, and industry-wide standards, the report states that company standards have the greatest positive effect on businesses, for they help improve processes. When it comes to the relationship with suppliers and customers, however, industry-wide standards are the main instruments used to lower transaction costs and assert market power over suppliers and customers. In fact, industry-wide standards play a vital role in our increasingly globalized world. The report further notes that it is significant that standards make a greater contribution to economic growth than patents or licences, that export-oriented sectors of industry make use of standards as a strategy in opening up new markets, and that standards help technological change. The study concentrated on the effects of standards on costs in general, on research and development, and safety. Strategic significance of standardization Companies are generally unaware of the strategic significance of standardization. Although the persons involved in the standards development process are aware of the significance of the standards to their companys success, often this awareness does not extend to the corporate decision-makers. In addition, the decision to participate in the standardization process is often made only on the basis of how time-consuming and costly this will be. The economic payback of participation in standards development is not always obvious, but the survey showed that companies actively involved in the standards process are more likely to see both short- and long-term cost benefits than those that do not participate. Potential competitive advantage through standards Having influence in the content of a standard is an important factor in gaining competitive advantage. It is often said that you can be part of the solution, or you can live with the solution developed by others. Being part of the standards development process allows the company to gain insider knowledge and to exert greater influence on the substance of the standards. Cost reduction through standardization Standardization can lead to lower transaction costs in the economy as a whole, as well as to savings for individual business. The interviews with representatives of major firms as well as small- and medium-sized companies revealed that the costs of developing standards are not easily quantified. However, the businesses interviewed rated the positive effect on transaction costs as positive, noting that transaction cists drop considerably as a result of standards since they make information easily accessible to all interested parties.
Effects of standards on the supplier-client relationship Standards have a positive effect on the buying power of companies. Standards can encourage competition within the marketplace, and can be used by businesses to exert market pressure on companies further down the value-added chain. Businesses are therefore able to use standard to broaden their potential markets. Companies also have increased confidence in the quality and reliability of suppliers who use standards. Standards and the formation of strategic alliances it is clear that cooperation between companies in matters of standardization is advantageous, for the resulting synergy can help reduce costs and increase profits. In the survey, respondents rated the effect of standardization on cooperation with competitors as positive, indicating that standardization encourages cooperation between businesses who are at the same stage in the value chain. Standards and research and development Businesses not only reduce the economic risk of their R&D activities by participating in standardization, but can also lower their own R&D costs. The economic risk of research and development is lowered when a company can influence the content of standards to its advantage. In addition, the expense of R&D can be reduced when participants in standards work make their results generally available, eliminating duplication of research efforts. Product safety and liability Lower accident rates are partly due to standards. Participation in the standardization process increases awareness of product safety. The development and implementation of safety standards contributes to the reduction of accident rates, and raises awareness of safety features and practices. Representatives of consumer organizations see their involvement in the standardization process as having increased the industrys awareness of the importance of product safety. Because standards reflect the current state of technology, they can help businesses reduce their liability risk. Standards are of great use to states in drawing up legislation, and are often referenced in legal cases. Benefits for the economy as a whole An effective dissemination of innovation via standards is a precondition for economic growth. Innovation is an important factor in maintaining competitiveness and economic growth, but is of limited value unless this innovation is effectively disseminated. Standards are one means of disseminating new ideas and technologies, and the study showed that they have a positive influence on innovation potential and on international trade.
STANDARDS VERSUS SPECIFICATIONS
Standards Versus Specifications

The term standard has been loosely applied to any agreed-upon way of doing things. However, there is a big difference in the way the standard has been developed and will be maintained, and often a big difference in who has agreed upon the contents of the standard. There are essentially three principal types of standards: Accredited standards generally have two important characteristics. They are developed and adopted as standards through an open consensus process, under the guidelines of national or international standards bodies. These procedures ensure that the concerns of all interested parties will be heard and addressed. In addition, accredited standards tend to distinguish more clearly the difference between requirements (normative elements) that must be met to conform to the standard, and descriptive material (informative elements) that provide additional information, but do not contain requirements. ISO, IEC, ANSI and other national standards bodies develop standards through this consensus process. Accredited standards are publicly available from the respective standards bodies. Industry specifications often take the form of formalized industry practices. An example of this would be SWOP (Specifications for Web Offset Publications), which is a standardized printing specification. These specifications generally are developed by a group within the industry, but there are no formal guidelines or procedures that ensure that the work is open to any interested party or open to review and comment during the development process. Such groups are not bound to consider or respond to comments on the work. However, such publications are generally publicly available and can be referenced in accredited standards. De facto standards are usually developed and owned by a single group or company, and gain credibility as the result of the use of a critical mass of people. The development of such work is done within a closed group and is not open to the consensus process. In addition, the resulting standards are subject to change, without notice, by the owner of the work. In some cases, the use of these standards requires payment of a licensing fee. PostScript is an example of a de facto standard. In many cases, de facto standards are developed by a company to serve a specific product line and target market. This handbook focuses on the work of accredited standards bodies, specifically ISO, IEC and ANSI. Most agree that the development of accredited standards is important to facilitate international exchange and trade. However, one complaint often heard is that their development takes too long. In general, this work is done by industry volunteers, whose companies support their participation in the standards development process as an important investment of time and manpower for the benefit of the company. It is often the case that the length of time it takes to develop a standard is directly proportional to the technical manpower available to do the work. So, if you are one who is unwilling to provide some of the manpower, it is hard to defend the complaint that standards development takes too long.
WHO ARE ANSI, ISO & IEC?
American National Standards Institute (ANSI)

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) was founded in 1918 by five engineering societies and three government agencies. It remains a privately funded federation representing both the private and public sectors. ANSI's membership consists of approximately 1,300 companies; 35 government agencies; and more than 260 technical, trade, labor and consumer groups. ANSI was a founding member of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and plays an active role in its governance. It is one of five permanent members to the governing ISO Council, and one of four permanent members of ISO's Technical Management Board. U.S. participation, through the U.S. National Committee, is equally strong in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). ANSI is the sole U.S. member body of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) . Through ANSI, the U.S. has immediate access to the ISO and IEC standards development processes. ANSI participates in almost the entire technical program of both the ISO (78% of all ISO technical committees) and the IEC (91% of all IEC technical committees) , and administers many key committees and subgroups. As part of its responsibilities as the U.S. member body of the ISO and the IEC, ANSI accredits U.S. Technical Advisory Groups (TAGs), whose primary purpose is to develop and transmit, through ANSI, U.S. positions on activities and ballots of the international technical committees. In many instances, U.S. standards are taken forward (to the ISO or IEC) through ANSI or the USNC, where they are adopted in whole or in part as international standards. Since the work of international technical committees is carried out by volunteers from industry and government, not by ANSI staff, the success of these efforts depends upon the willingness of U.S. industry and the U.S. government to commit the resources required to ensure strong U.S. technical participation in the international standards process. One of the best indicators of the strength of the U.S. system is the government's extensive reliance on, and use of, private sector voluntary standards. Pursuant to OMB Circular A119, federal government agencies are required to use voluntary standards for regulatory and procurement purposes when appropriate. State and local governments and agencies have formally adopted thousands of voluntary standards produced by ANSI, and the process appears to be accelerating. ANSI's mission is to enhance both the global competitiveness of U.S. business and the quality of life by promoting and facilitating voluntary consensus standards and conformity assessment systems. ANSI has four basic functions: (1) to facilitate U.S. standardization policy developments; (2) to accredit national standards developers, which provides consistency in the national standards system and helps to ensure the consensus process; (3) to promote U.S. standardization interests globally, and (4) to provide information and training regarding standardization. ANSI does not write standards, but serves as an impartial organization which, through its procedures, validates the general acceptability of the work of the technical experts. It ensures that the standards writing group used democratic procedures that gave everyone who will be "directly and materially" affected by the use of the standard an opportunity to participate in the development work or to comment on the document's provisions. It assures users that those interested in the work reached consensus on the standard's provisions and that the document is technically sound and does not conflict with or unnecessarily duplicate other national standards. ANSI voluntary standards include more than 100,000 product standards developed by more than 400 standards development organizations, including government, industry, technical societies, trade associations and companies. There are hundreds of thousands of standards users, including companies of all sizes; federal, state and local government agencies; universities, colleges and trade schools; businesses; consultants and individuals.
The Committee for Graphic Arts Technologies Standards (CGATS) and the B65 Committee for Safety Standards are the two ANSI-accredited committees developing national standards for the printing, publishing and converting industry. The U.S. Technical Advisory Group (US TAG) to ISO TC 130 provides input into the ISO standards activities relating to the industry. NPES serves as the Secretariat for those committees. Information on CGATS, B65 and US TAG is contained in this booklet, and further information can be obtained by contacting Mary Abbott, Director of Standards Programs at NPES via Tel: 703-264-7200; Fax: 703-620-0994; or E-mail: mabbott@npes.org.
International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies from some 147 countries, one from each country, consisting of 97 member bodies, 35 correspondent members, and 15 subscriber members. This book provides contact information for ISO member bodies. ISO, a non-governmental organization, was established in 1947. Its mission is to promote the development of standardization and related activities in the world with a view toward facilitating the international exchange of goods and services, and to developing cooperation in the spheres of intellectual, scientific, technological and economic activity. ISO's work results in international agreements that are published as international standards. "ISO" is not an acronym, but is a word, derived from the Greek "isos" meaning "equal." This is the root of the prefix "iso-" that occurs in may terms, such as "isometric" (of equal measure or dimensions - Shorter Oxford English Dictionary) and "isonomy" (equality of laws, or of people before the law - ibid). From "equal" to "standard," the line of thinking that led to the choice of "ISO" as the name of the organization is easy to follow. In addition, the name has the advantage of being valid in each of the organization's three official languages, English, French and Russian. The confusion that would arise through the use of an acronym is thus avoided. The scope of ISO covers standardization in all fields except electrical and electronic engineering standards, which are the responsibility of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Together, ISO and IEC form the specialized system for worldwide standardization: the world's largest non-governmental system for voluntary industrial and technical collaboration at the international level. The work in the field of information technology is carried out by a joint ISO/IEC technical committee (JTC 1). The results of ISO technical work are published in the form of international standards. There are nearly 10,000 international standards and technical reports covering hundreds of industry fields. ISO work is decentralized, being carried out by 2,850 technical committees, subcommittees and working groups organized and supported by technical secretariats in 35 countries. In these committees, qualified representatives of industry, research institutes, government authorities, consumer bodies and international organizations from all over the world come together as equal partners in the resolution of global standardization problems. The Central Secretariat in Geneva assists in coordinating ISO operations, administers voting and approval procedures, and publishes the international standards. Developers of international standards are an estimated 30,000 engineers, scientists and administrators. They are nominated by ISO members to participate in the committee meetings and to represent the consolidated views and interests of industry, government, labor and individual consumers in the standards development process. Approximately 500 international organizations are in liaison with ISO technical committees, including nearly all of the UN specialized agencies.
The major responsibility for administering a standards committee is accepted by one of the national standards bodies that make up the ISO membership. The member body holding the secretariat of a standards committee normally appoints one or two persons to do the technical and administrative work relating to the committee. A committee chairman assists committee members in bringing work to consensus. Generally, a consensus will mean that a particular solution to the problem at hand is the best possible one for international application at that time. The Central Secretariat in Geneva acts to ensure the flow of documentation in all directions, to clarify technical points with secretariats and chairmen, and to ensure that the agreements approved by the technical committees are edited, printed, submitted as Draft International Standards to ISO member bodies for voting, and published. Each member body interested in a subject has the right to be represented on a committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. The ISO Technical Committee that develops standards for the graphic arts is TC 130. The U.S. Technical Advisory Group (US TAG) to TC 130 consists of experts from the graphic arts industry who provide guidance to ANSI on the development of the U.S. position on international standards relating to the graphic arts. ISO TC 130 and the US TAG to ISO TC 130 are described more fully in another section of this book.
How are ISO standards developed?

ISO standards are developed according to the following principles: Consensus The view of all interests are taken into account: manufacturers, vendors and users, consumer groups, testing laboratories, governments, engineering professions and research organizations. Industry-wide Global solutions to satisfy industries and customers worldwide. Voluntary International standardization is market-driven and therefore based on voluntary involvement of all interests in the marketplace. There are three main phases in the ISO standards development process. The need for a standard is usually expressed by an industry sector, which communicates this need to a national member body. The latter proposes the new work item to ISO as a whole. Once the need for an International Standard has been recognized and formally agreed, the first phase involves definition of the technical scope of the future standard. This phase is usually carried out in working groups which comprise technical experts from countries interested in the subject matter. Once agreement has been reached on which technical aspects are to be covered in the standard, a second phase is entered during which countries negotiate the detailed specifications within the standard. This is the consensus-building phase. The final phase comprises the formal approval of the resulting Draft International Standard (the acceptance criteria stipulate approval by two thirds of the ISO members that have participated actively in the standards
development process, and approval by 75% of all members that vote), following which the agreed text is published as an ISO International Standard. Most standards require periodic revision. Several factors combine to render a standard out of date, such as technological evolution, new methods and materials, new quality and safety requirements. To take account of these factors, ISO has established the general rule that all ISO standards must be reviewed at intervals of not more than five years. On occasion, it is necessary to revise a standard earlier.
The membership of ISO

The membership of ISO is divided into three categories: A member body is the national body "most representative of standardization in its country." Thus, only one body in each country may be a member of ISO. In the case of the United States, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is the voting member. A member body takes the responsibility for: informing potentially interested parties in their country of relevant international standardization opportunities and initiatives; ensuring that a concerted view of the country's interests is presented during international negotiations leading to standards agreements; and providing their country's share of financial support for the central operations of ISO, through payment of membership dues. Member bodies are entitled to participate and exercise full voting rights on any technical committee and policy committee of ISO. A correspondent member is usually an organization in a country that does not yet have a fully developed national standards activity. Correspondent members do not take an active part in the technical and policy development work, but are entitled to be kept fully informed about the work of interest to them. A subscriber member is generally a country with a very small economy. Subscriber members pay reduced membership fees that still allow them to maintain contact with international standardization. Contact information for the national member bodies is listed on the pages that follow.

International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)

The IEC was founded in 1906 as a result of a resolution passed at the International Electrical Congress held in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1904. The membership consists of 54 participating countries. Regular members are National Committees each having equal voting rights. On becoming a member of the IEC, each National Committee agrees to open access and balanced representation from all private and public electrotechnical interests in its country. Associate members have observer status and can participate in all IEC meetings, while pre-associate members receive support in forming a national electrotechnical committee from the IEC Central Office with the aim of becoming associate members. Membership includes all the world's major trading nations and a growing number of industrializing countries. The entire organization of the IEC is designed to ensure that the National Committees play a leading part in all decision-making instances of the Commission. This enables the widest degree of consensus on standardization work to be reached at an international level. IEC work is carried out by technical committees, their subcommittees and working groups. Some 200 such committees span virtually all electrotechnical sectors as well as associated disciplines such as terminology, symbols, safety and performance. The responsibilities of IEC cover the field of electrical and electronic engineering, with all other subject areas being attributed to ISO. When necessary, attribution of responsibility for work programs to ISO or IEC is made by mutual agreement. In specific cases of mutual interest, joint technical bodies or working groups are set up. Common working procedures ensure efficient coordination and the widest possible global application. ISO and IEC have been working to develop joint procedures and formats. IEC standards are widely adopted as the basis of national or regional electrotechnical standards, and are often quoted in manufacturers' specifications and by users when stating their requirements. This widespread adoption facilitates international trade in the electrical and electronic engineering sectors.
U.S. Participation in IEC

ANSI is the sole U.S. representative to the IEC through the United States National Committee (USNC). Just as ANSI accredits U.S. Technical Advisory Groups (US TAGs) to ISO, it also accredits USNC Technical Advisors (TAs) to IEC. The TA's primary purpose is to develop and transmit, via ANSI, U.S. positions on activities and ballots of the international technical committee. The U.S., through ANSI, is active in 91% of all IEC committees.
Liaisons
The IEC maintains working relationships with some 200 international governmental and non-governmental organizations, particularly with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and increasingly with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). An initial agreement was signed with ISO in 1976, and ten years later the two bodies established Joint Technical Committee 1 (JTC 1) to cover the vast and expanding field of information technology. At the regional level, there is a joint working agreement with the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC), comprised of 18 national committees of which most are also IEC members, and a cooperation agreement with COPANT, the Pan American Standards Commission. Close links are also enjoyed with other bodies in non-electrotechnical areas, such as the liaisons with the World Health Organization, the International Labour Organization, the International Organization of Legal Metrology and the International Atomic Energy Agency.

WHOS WHO
IN PRINTING, PUBLISHING AND CONVERTING STANDARDS
Who's Who in Printing, Publishing and Converting Standards

There are two standards development committees accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) within the United States that develop standards specifically for the printing, publishing and converting industry. The Committee for Graphic Arts Technologies Standards (CGATS) develops technical standards and the B65 Committee develops safety standards. ANSI also accredits the U.S. Technical Advisory Group to ISO TC 130 (US TAG to ISO TC 130), which provides the U.S. representation in the work of ISO TC 130 (Graphic Technology), the international committee that develops international graphic arts standards. These committees are described below. Membership on standards committees is open to anyone having an interest. To apply for membership you may use photocopies of the membership applications in this book or you may download membership applications from http://www.npes.org/standards/workroom.html.
U.S. Standards Development Committees

Committee for Graphic Arts Technologies Standards (CGATS)
CGATS was accredited by ANSI in 1989 and is an umbrella committee charged with the overall coordination of graphic technology standards activities and the development of graphic technology standards that meet identified needs of the industry that are not being actively addressed by other groups. In 1994, the work of the IT8 Committee, which developed standards for the exchange of electronic data in graphic arts applications, was merged with the work of CGATS under the administration of CGATS. CGATS currently is composed of a main committee, an Executive Committee responsible for planning and coordination, five subcommittees (SC) and related task forces (TF) and two special task forces (STF). The subcommittees, along with the US TAG to ISO TC 130, also serve as a pool of U.S. technical experts to continually review relevant work under development in ISO TC 130 for the purpose of forming the official U.S. position on the work. The responsibilities of the CGATS subcommittees are shown below. Additional information on the work of CGATS can be found in this book: Chapter 5: The Committee for Graphic Arts Technologies Standards (CGATS), and online at http://www.npes.org/standards/CGATS.html. Special Task Force 1 - Electronic Design Workflow for Packaging Special Task Force 2 - Ink and Color Characterization for Packaging Subcommittee 2 - Plates Subcommittee 3 - Metrology Subcommittee 3 Task Force 1 - Objective Match Evaluation Subcommittee 4 - Process Control Subcommittee 5 - Materials Handling Subcommittee 6 Task Force 1 - PDF/X Subcommittee 6 Task Force 2 - Variable Data Exchange Subcommittee 6 Task Force 3 - Diecutting Data (IT8.6)

B65 Committee for Safety Standards

The B65 Committee was accredited by ANSI in 1983, and is charged with the development of safety standards for printing-related equipment. It consists of a main committee and the five subcommittees (SC) listed below. Additional information on the work of B65 can be found in this book: Chapter 6: B65 Committee, and online at http://www.npes.org/standards/B65.html. Subcommittee 1 - Printing Press Safety Subcommittee 2 - Bindery Systems Safety Subcommittee 3 - Bindery Cutting Machines Safety Subcommittee 4 - Platen Press Safety Subcommittee 6 - Safety of Ink-Making Equipment
U.S. Technical Advisory Group (US TAG) to ISO TC 130

As its title suggests, this group is responsible for coordinating the participation in the international standards activities of ISO TC 130 (Graphic technology), and in formulating the official U.S. position on TC 130 work. It is made up of the U.S. technical experts who actively participate in the five TC 130 working groups, members of the relevant CGATS and B65 committees, and representatives of many of the U.S. graphic arts companies and organizations who review the work as observers. Membership on the US TAG is open to anyone who has an interest and who is willing to, at a minimum, review and comment on documents coming out of TC 130. Additional information on the work of US TAG to TC 130 can be found in this book: Chapter 7: ISO TC 130 and US TAG to ISO TC 130, and online at http://www.npes.org/standards/iso.html.
International Standards
ISO Technical Committee 130, Graphic Technology (ISO TC 130)
ISO TC 130, Graphic Technology, is the committee within ISO that has responsibility for international graphic technology (printing and publishing) industry standards. Its Secretariat is Deutsches Institut fr Normung (DIN), the German national standards body. The organization of ISO TC 130 working groups (WG) and task forces (TF) is shown below. Additional information can be found in this book: Chapter 7: ISO TC 130 and US TAG to ISO TC 130, and online at http://www.npes.org/standards/iso.html.

THE COMMITTEE
FOR GRAPHIC ARTS TECHNOLOGIES STANDARDS
(CGATS)
The Committee for Graphic Arts Technologies Standards (CGATS)

The Committee for Graphic Arts Technologies Standards (CGATS) was formed in 1987 following a year-long assessment of the need for an umbrella standards committee by the Image Technology Standards Board (ITSB) of ANSI, and received ANSI accreditation in 1989. The goal of CGATS is to have the entire scope of printing, publishing and converting technologies represented in one national standardization and coordination effort, while respecting the established activities of existing accredited standards committees and industry standards developers. CGATS writes standards only where the need exists and no other committee is undertaking the writing. Thus, in addition to developing standards for the industry, CGATS also provides a vehicle for other industry organizations that have specifications to work under the CGATS "umbrella" to move their work into the standards arena, and have the work further developed and approved as an American National Standard. Several such joint efforts have been undertaken, resulting in the development of an ANSI CGATS standard. The committee works to improve the efficiency of national standards development, facilitates information exchange, coordinates multi-discipline standards activities and provides liaison for international standards development. CGATS has standards, either approved or in draft, relating to pallet loading of printed materials, metrology, terminology, plates, process control, electronic transmission of publication ads, digital data exchange, color data definition, design workflow for packaging, and ink and color characterization for packaging. The activities involving digital data exchange and color data definition were activities formerly under the IT8 Committee. Beginning in 1994, that work continued under the administrative structure of CGATS. The CGATS main committee consists of Participating (voting) members and Observing (non-voting) members. Work on the standards is done within subcommittees (SC), working groups (WG), or task forces (TF). In accordance with ANSI procedures, all standards undergo a periodic review every five years to determine whether to reaffirm, revise or withdraw the standard. CGATS meetings and membership are open to anyone having an interest. Committee documents are available from the CGATS Secretariat, NPES, or online at http://www.npes.org/standards/CGATS.html.
You can be involved in standards development!

Membership on CGATS and its subcommittees is open to anyone having an interest. To apply for CGATS membership please use a photocopy of the membership application in this book or download a membership application from http://www.npes.org/standards/workroom.html. Standards result from extensive technical discussions to find solutions to meet identified needs. Much of the work is developed in face-to-face meetings, supplemented by conference calls and e-mail exchanges. However, even if you are not able to travel and attend meetings, you can still contribute your expertise to the standards development process by reviewing and commenting on documents.

Subcommittees, Working Groups, and Task Forces

Special Task Force 1 - Electronic Design Workflow for Packaging is developing standard industry practices that encompass the entire packaging workflow, regardless of printing process. This includes the identification of a model, or reference, workflow for the package development process, from the identification of a project through preparation of an approved production file. Although the work defines the set of information that needs to be addressed in a workflow, it allows for variations based on individual needs, and is intended to be used as a reference in the creation of workflow procedures for specific organizations or products. Special Task Force 2 - Ink and Color Characterization for Packaging is focusing on the development of a procedure to characterize package printing of standard and non standard process colors, and is attempting to define reference conditions applicable to ranges of package printing. This includes the development of standardized color targets, as well as other tools and guidelines. Subcommittee 2 - Plates investigates the need for graphic arts printing plate standards, and identifies existing standards/specifications prior to initiating any standards development activity. SC 2 coordinates its work with other standards developers to insure there is no overlapping work. Where plate standards needs exist and are not being met by existing developers, SC 2 will develop these standards through the ANSI consensus process. It also provides input into the related work being done in ISO TC 130 WG4, and helps to formulate the official U.S. position in the area of plate and blanket standards. Subcommittee 3 - Metrology develops standards for the measurement of optical characteristics (e.g., densitometry, colorimetry, etc.) of graphic arts images and materials. SC 3 also reviews other national and international work in the area of densitometry and metrology that may impact graphic arts, and provides comments when appropriate. SC 3 also functions as an advisory task force to the US TAG to ISO TC 130 in this subject area, and maintains interaction with other U.S. and international organizations in this area. Subcommittee 3 Task Force 1 - Objective Match Evaluation was formed to develop a method and provide a metric that will estimate the probability that hardcopy images reproduced by single or multiple systems, using identical input, will appear the same to the typical human observer, and to investigate the development of a method that can be used to do the quantification. Subcommittee 4 - Process Control develops standards that support the application of printing process control (e.g., process definition, characterization, analysis, control tools, etc.). SC 4 reviews other national and international work in the area of process control that may impact graphic arts, and provides comments when appropriate. SC 4 also functions as an advisory task force to the US TAG to ISO TC 130 in this subject area, and maintains interaction with other U.S. and international organizations in this area. Subcommittee 5 - Materials Handling identifies needs relating to handling of materials used in, or produced by, the printing process. Where needs are not currently being met, SC 5 will work through the ANSI consensus process to develop, or cooperate in the development of, consensus standards. Wherever appropriate, approved national and international standards will be utilized. Subcommittee 6 Task Force 1 - PDF/X, which is developing a set of standards to be used for the electronic exchange of files using Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF). This work is being done in cooperation with ISO TC 130 WG 2 TF2, and is resulting in a set of ANSI/ISO standards. Subcommittee 6 Task Force 2 - Variable Data Exchange, which is developing a standard relating to the creation and exchange of documents that combine both database information and variable content. The standard defines the use of content from current design applications and variable information from common database applications.
32
Subcommittee 6 Task Force 3 - Diecutting Data (IT8.6) maintains IT8.6-2002, Graphic technology Prepress digital data exchange - Diecutting data (DDES3). First issued in 1991 and revised in 2002, this standard establishes a data exchange format to enable transfer of numerical control information between diecutting systems and between diecutting systems and electronic prepress systems.

B65 COMMITTEE
B65 Committee
The B65 Committee is a standards-developing committee accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). It has been in existence since the early 1950's, administered at that time by the National Safety Council and Printing Industries of America. However, in the early 1970's the committee became inactive for some time. The committee was re-activated and re-accredited by ANSI in 1983, under the administration of NPES The Association for Suppliers of Printing, Publishing and Converting Technologies. The purpose of the B65 Committee is to develop ANSI safety standards for printing presses, bindery machines and other printing equipment. Work relates to the design, arrangement, designation, and color scheme of controls and signaling devices, as well as to guarding and interlocking of guards. Also addressed are other mechanical safety devices, symbology and safe practices as they apply to printing equipment. As the printing machinery industry becomes more globally oriented, it becomes increasingly important to have uniform international safety standards for the machinery. This allows manufacturers to design and build equipment to a single set of safety standards, regardless of the country of import/export. Thus, the B65 Committee is attempting to coordinate with similar activities in the European community and with other countries through participation in related work in the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The B65 Committee provides input to the international activities on issues relating to safety. ISO TC 130, the technical committee for the graphic arts within ISO, has a working group (WG5) that deals with ergonomics and safety. The United States, in the form of NPES, is the convener of this international working group and is responsible for the management of work done by that committee. The B65 Committee provides technical experts to attend the meetings of ISO TC 130 WG 5, and reviews and comments on the international work. The B65 subcommittee members also serve as advisors to the US TAG (technical advisory group) to ISO TC 130, advising on the U.S. position on international safety standards. Much of the B65 work is now being incorporated into safety standards being developed by ISO TC 130, and the international work is being incorporated into the revisions of the B65 standards. In 1983, NPES became the Secretariat and reorganized the committee in order to revise a safety standard for printing press drive controls (B65.1). This work has been followed by the development of other safety standards for printing and bindery equipment. B65 meetings and membership are open to anyone having an interest. Committee documents are available from the B65 Secretariat, NPES, or online at http://www.npes.org/standards/B65.html. In accordance with ANSI procedures, all standards undergo a periodic review every five years to determine whether to reaffirm, revise or withdraw the standard. All work on the standards is done within subcommittees (SC), with the responsibilities divided in the following manner: Subcommittee 1 - Printing Press Safety is concerned with the development of safety standards for printing presses. Subcommittee 2 - Bindery Systems Safety is concerned with the development of safety standards for binding and finishing systems. Subcommittee 3 - Bindery Cutting Machines Safety is concerned with safety standards for machines with cutting knives, including guillotine cutters and bindery trimmers. Subcommittee 4 - Platen Press Safety is concerned with safety standards for the design and use of standalone platen press systems intended for die-cutting, embossing, foil stamping and/or printing.
39
Subcommittee 6 - Safety of Ink-Making Equipment is concerned with the revision of B65/NAPIM 177.1, Safety standard - Three-roller printing ink mills and B65/NAPIM 177.2, Safety standard - Printing ink vertical post mixers.
You can be involved in standards development!

ISO TC 130
ISO TC 130 and US TAG to ISO TC 130

Background
The International Organization for Standardization Technical Committee 130, Graphic Technology (ISO TC 130), is the international technical committee of ISO that develops International Standards relating to printing, publishing and the graphic arts industry. Information about ISO can be found in Chapter 3: Who are ANSI, ISO & IEC?
ISO TC 130 Organization

The Secretariat for ISO TC 130 is Deutsches Institut fr Normung (DIN), the German national standards body. Under the agreements made at the 1989 and 1990 Plenary meetings, TC 130 is organized into five working groups (WG) with convener and assistant convener responsibilities assigned to national bodies, and task forces (TF) headed by a chairperson, as follows: WG 1 Terminology: Convener Dipple (U.K.); Assistant Convener TBD (Brazil) WG 1 TF 1 Correction Marks: Chair Dipple (U.K.) WG 2 Prepress Data Exchange: Convener McDowell (U.S.); Assistant Convener Aoki (Japan) WG 2 TF 1 Revision of ISO 12639 (TIFF/IT): Chair Kelly (U.S.) WG 2 TF 2 PDF/X: Chair Bailey (U.K.) WG 2 TF 3 Variable Data Exchange (VDX): Chair Donahue (U.S.) WG 3 Process Control and Related Metrology: Convener Dolezalek (Germany); Assistant Convener Warter (U.S.) WG 4 Media & Materials: Convener Rosenberg (Germany); Assistant Convener Zawacki (U.S.) WG 4 TF 1 Inks: Chair Rosenberg (Germany) WG 5 Safety & Ergonomics: Convener Smythe (U.S.); Assistant Convener Open WG 5 TF 1 Symbology: Chair Kinson (U.S.)
In addition, TC 130 participates in three joint working groups (JWG) as follows: TC 42/JWG 20 (Joint with TC 42 Photography) ISO 17321 Colour characterization of digital still cameras. Convener: Holm (US) TC 42/JWG 21 (Joint with TC 130) Revision of ISO 5 series, Densitometry. Convener: Goodman (US) TC130/JWG6 (Joint with TC 42 Photography) ISO 15790 Graphic technology - Reflection and transmission metrology - Documentation requirements for certified reference materials, procedures for use, and determination of combined standard uncertainty, Certified reference materials. Convener: Steele (US)
The United States is a participating, or P-member, of ISO TC 130. In order for the U.S. to participate in the ISO work, there must be an ANSI-accredited U.S. Technical Advisory Group (TAG) for each ISO TC in which the U.S. has an interest. Those TAGs provide the U.S. technical experts to the ISO committees, and formulate the U.S. position on the ISO TC matters, which is formally submitted by ANSI as the voting member body. NPES serves as the Secretariat of the US TAG to ISO TC 130.
45
United States Technical Advisory Group (US TAG) Membership

Membership in the US TAG to ISO TC 130 is open to all U.S. organizations and individuals who have an interest, and who may be directly and materially affected by the standards work. There is no membership fee; however, members are expected, at a minimum, to review and comment on documents under development that fall into their areas of interest and expertise. To join the US TAG, please complete the application form at the end of this chapter. Please direct US TAG membership questions to NPES Director of Standards Programs, Mary Abbott at mabbott@npes.org.
ISO TC 130 Working Groups and Technical Experts

ISO Technical Committees often establish working groups for specific tasks. A working group reports to its parent committee through the working group convener. A working group is comprised of a number of individually appointed experts brought together to deal with the specific task allocated to the working group. The experts act in a personal capacity; however, it is recommended that they keep in close contact with the Participating (P) member organization by which they have been appointed. Arrangements for meetings of working groups are made between the convener of the working group and the member of the working group in whose country the meeting is being held.
ISO TC 130/JWG 7 - Colour Management

The International Color Consortium (ICC) entered into discussions with ISO TC130 regarding an interest in having the ICC specification become an ISO standard. TC 130 responded by having a new work item approved for this project. A formal agreement was made between the ICC and ISO identifying the responsibilities and process for the development of ICC specifications as ISO standards, and the distribution rights of such documents. The ISO Joint Working Group (ISO/TC130/JWG 7 Colour Management) was formed to handle the work with other ISO Technical Committees invited to participate. TC 130 is the administrator of the joint working group. For more information on the ICC, see Chapter 8: Industry Consortia.
ISO TC 130 Joint Work with ISO TC 171 SC2 JWG 5

TC 130 is one of 4 ISO Technical Committees involved in the work of an ISO Joint Working Group ISO/TC 171 SC 2 JWG 5 (Document management applications, Application issues, PDF/A) to develop a standard that defines the use of PDF to create an archival format for long-term retention of documents. ISO 19005-1, Document management - Electronic document file format for long-term preservation - Part 1: Use of PDF (PDF/A), in being developed jointly by ISO TC 171 SC2, ISO TC 130 (Graphic technology), ISO TC 42 (Photography) and ISO TC 46 SC 11 (Instrumentation and documentation, Archives/records management). Association for Information and Image Management (AIIM International) is the administrator of the joint working group. A list serve has been set up by AIIM International and interested persons can sign up for the committee at http://www.aiim.org/pdf_a.

Secretariat Responsibilities
The relationships between the Secretariats, the Technical Committee, the Working Groups and the individual Conveners is often a source of confusion and misunderstanding. Two documents available from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) that provide guidelines in more detail are: ANSI Procedures for U.S. Participation in the International Standards Activity of the ISO; ISO Directives Part 1, Procedures for the Technical Work. The Secretariat of a Technical Committee (or Subcommittee) is responsible for: Monitoring, reporting and ensuring the active progress of the work of the committee Preparing and circulating committee drafts, and the treatment of comments Preparing meetings (of the committee or subcommittee) and recording the decisions made at meetings Distributing minutes, reports, etc. The US TAG and its Secretariat are responsible for: Initiating and approving U.S. proposals for new work items or working drafts for submission to an ISO technical committee Determining the U.S. position on ISO draft standards, reports, questionnaires, agenda items, etc. Providing adequate U.S. representation to ISO committee meetings Nominating U.S. technical experts to serve on ISO subcommittees and working groups Advising or making recommendations to ANSI regarding administrative issues relating to the ISO Technical Committee
Stages of the Development of International Standards

An international standard is the result of an agreement between the member bodies of ISO. It may be used as such, or may be implemented through incorporation in national standards of different countries. All International Standards are reviewed at least once every five years by the responsible technical committees. A majority of the P-members of the technical committee decides whether an International Standard should be confirmed, revised or withdrawn. International standards are developed by ISO technical committees (TC), subcommittees (SC) and working groups (WG) by a six step process. If a document with a certain degree of maturity is available at the start of a standardization project, for example a standard developed by another organization, it is possible to omit certain stages. In the so-called fast-track procedure, a document is submitted directly for approval as a Draft International Standard (DIS) to the ISO member bodies (DIS, stage 4) or, if the document has been developed by an international standardizing body recognized by the ISO Council, as a Final Draft International Standard without passing through previous stages. The following is a summary of each of the six stages: Stage 1: Proposal stage (New Proposal - NP) The first step in the development of an International Standard is to confirm that a particular International Standard is needed. A new work item proposal (NWIP) is submitted for vote by the members of the relevant Technical Committee to determine the inclusion of the work item in the program of work. The proposal is accepted if a majority of the participating (P) members of the Technical Committee vote in favor, and at least five P-members declare their commitment to participate actively in the project. At this stage, a project leader responsible for the work item is normally appointed.
47
Stage 2: Preparatory stage (Working Draft - WD) A working group of experts prepares working drafts of the standard. Successive working drafts may be considered until the working group is satisfied that it has developed the best technical solution to the problem being addressed. At this stage, a Committee Draft (CD) is forwarded to the Technical Committee for the consensus-building phase. Stage 3: Committee stage (Committee Draft - CD) Once a Committee Draft is received by the TC Secretariat, it is registered by the ISO Central Secretariat. It is distributed to the P-members of the TC for a 3month ballot. Successive committee drafts may be considered until consensus is reached on the technical content, after which the text is finalized for submission as a Draft International Standard (DIS). Stage 4: Enquiry stage (Draft International Standard - DIS) The Draft International Standard (DIS) is circulated to all ISO member bodies by the ISO Central Secretariat for voting and comment within a period of five months. It is approved for submission as a FDIS (see Stage 5) if a two-thirds majority of the P-members of the TC/SC are in favor and not more than one-quarter of the total number of votes cast are negative. If the approval criteria are not met, the text is returned to the originating TC/SC for further study and a revised document will be circulated for voting and comment as a DIS. DIS approval requires two-thirds of the votes cast by the P-members are affirmative, and no more than one-fourth of the votes cast are negative. Stage 5: Approval stage (Final Draft International Standard - FDIS) The Final Draft International Standard (FDIS) is circulated to all ISO member bodies by the ISO Central Secretariat for a final Yes/No vote within a period of two months. If technical comments are received during this period, they are no longer considered at this stage, but are registered for consideration during a future revision of the International Standard. The text is approved as an International Standard if a two-thirds majority of the P-members of the TC/SC are in favor and not more than one-forth of the total number of votes cast are negative. If these approval criteria are not met, the standard is referred back to the originating Technical Committee for reconsideration in the light of the technical reasons submitted in support of the negative voted received. This stage may be omitted if there are no negative votes at the Enquiry (DIS) stage. Stage 6: Publication stage (Approved International Standard - IS) Once a final Draft International Standard has been approved and all editorial changes have been made, if necessary, the final text is sent to the ISO Central Secretariat, which publishes the International Standard.
Practical Implications for U.S. Participation

How Individuals Participate and Vote The preceding material provides information on the structure and relationship of ISO TC 130 and the US TAG to ISO TC 130. However, the real issue in simple terms is, what does it mean to those willing to be involved? Participation in the US TAG is by organization or as an individual consultant. Members vote as individuals on behalf of their sponsoring organizations. Technical Experts to the meetings are appointed by the US TAG, and the TC 130 Secretariat is advised of those experts by ANSI. For all ISO and ISO TC 130 ballots, including votes taken at Plenary meetings, each member country is allowed one vote. We must therefore coordinate a single national position through the US TAG. Determination of the U.S. position on any issue at the Technical Committee level (either to respond to a mail ballot or to prepare for meetings) is accomplished by solicitation of comments through the TAG members who represent affected organizations. The TAG chair and Secretariat will also solicit input from 48
other organizations within the industry, if appropriate. The ANSI, CGATS and B65 Committee members also provide input to the development of the U.S. position. Note, however, that participation in working groups is by individual technical experts appointed by the TAG. Within working groups each technical expert has a vote. The U.S. technical experts have a responsibility to keep the TAG informed of the progress and activities of the working group. While the Secretariat of the TAG and the Technical Committee Secretariat will be supportive of the working groups, the meetings and administration of the working group are the responsibility of the appointed convener and assistant convener.
Coordination by the US TAG In regards to membership participation and working group assignments, the following practices are being implemented to support the ANSI procedures. The Secretariat will review participation in the activities of the TAG (attendance at meetings of the TAG, participation in plenary or working group meetings, response to ballots and other communications from the TAG) and will drop from membership those members who are non-responsive. The Secretariat will seek to insure that all organizations represented in the active work of TC 130 or affected by the work of TC 130 are represented on the TAG by either experts or observers. Before appointment as a technical expert to a working group, individuals will be expected to commit to ongoing active participation through correspondence and attendance at meetings. Casual attendance at meetings by others will be as an observer or in a support status. One U.S. technical expert for each working group will be asked to take on the additional responsibility of coordinating the activities of the U.S. experts in that working group and informing the TAG of the activities of the working group. This will include being sure that all U.S. technical experts, the TAG Chair, and the Secretariat receive copies of all working group documents. The TAG Secretariat will circulate TC 130 Technical Committee documents and information to TAG members. It will assist the U.S. technical experts in circulating selected working group documents to the TAG and to all U.S. technical experts. The TAG Secretariat will assist the U.S. working group coordinators in maintaining a list of interested persons who should be kept informed of the activities of the working group and who can provide technical support to the technical experts. However, distribution of working group documents to technical experts and interested persons will be the responsibility of the working group coordinator noted above, with support from the TAG Secretariat. The TAG Secretariat and Chair will maintain a complete file of all technical committee and working group numbered documents to be available as a resource to any affected party within the U.S. industry. For a description of the approved standards and technical reports, please refer to Chapter 11: List of Available Technical and Safety Standards, at the end of this book. Drafts of other TC 130 work in progress may be obtained by contacting the NPES Standards Department at standards@npes.org.

INDUSTRY CONSORTIA
International Color Consortium (ICC)

The International Color Consortium (ICC) was established in 1993 by eight industry vendors for the purpose of creating, promoting and encouraging the standardization and evolution of an open, vendor-neutral, cross-platform color management system architecture and components. The outcome of this co-operation was the development of the ICC profile specification. The intent of the International Color Consortium profile format is to provide a cross-platform device profile format. Device profiles can be used to translate color data created on one device into another device's native color space. The acceptance of this format by operating system vendors allows end users to transparently move profiles and images with embedded profiles between different operating systems. This permits tremendous flexibility to both users and vendors. For example, it allows users to be sure that their image will retain its color fidelity when moved between systems and applications. Furthermore, it allows a printer manufacturer to create a single profile for multiple operating systems. The Chairman of the ICC is Craig Revie of Fuji Film Electronic Imaging. The Vice Chairman is Michael Rodriguez of RR Donnelley. Phil Green of the London College of Communication is the Technical Secretary. NPES The Association for the Suppliers of Printing, Publishing and Converting Technologies serves as the Administrative Secretariat. See the following page for a complete list of International Color Consortium members. Additional information on the ICC is available at http://www.color.org.
ISO TC 130/JWG 7 - Colour Management

The International Color Consortium (ICC) entered into discussions with ISO TC130 regarding an interest in having the ICC specification become an ISO standard. TC 130 responded by having a new work item approved for this project. A formal agreement was made between the ICC and ISO identifying the responsibilities and process for the development of ICC specifications as ISO standards, and the distribution rights of such documents. The ISO Joint Working Group (ISO/TC130/JWG 7 Colour Management) was formed to handle the work with other ISO Technical Committees invited to participate. TC 130 is the administrator of the joint working group. For more information on TC 130, see Chapter 7: ISO TC 130 and US TAG to ISO TC 130.

The International Cooperation for the Integration of Processes in Prepress, Press and Postpress (CIP4)
CIP4 is an international association located in Switzerland. The purpose of the association is to encourage computer based integration of all processes that have to be considered in the graphic arts industry, in particular the specification of standards. The International Cooperation for the Integration of Processes in Prepress, Press and Postpress (CIP4) is the successor of CIP3, which started in 1995 as a joint initiative of vendors for the graphical arts industry. Since then CIP3 has developed the Print Production Format which is today implemented in many applications. CIP4 is about to develop and promote vendor independent standards for the graphic arts industry, such as the new Job Definition Format (JDF). CIP4 runs several working groups in order to develop new extensions of JDF and to discuss future use cases. This is intended to be an ongoing process. Currently CIP4 is running the following working groups: Advertising / Magazine publishing Color Workflow Device capability description Device messaging / Job tracking eCommerce Finishing Gravure Newspaper Packaging & Label Process resources and definitions Tools & Infrastructure Use cases / Compliance Variable Data Web/Rotary printing
See the following pages for a complete list of CIP4 members. Additional information on CIP4 can be found at http://www.cip4.org.
