ISO 27668-2:2009 ジェルインクボールペンとリフィル—パート2：ドキュメンタリー使用（DOC） | ページ 2

Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that 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.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

ISO 27668-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 10, Technical product documentation.

ISO 27668 consists of the following parts, under the general title Gel ink ball pens and refills:

• Part 1: General use
• Part 2: Documentary use (DOC)

Introduction

This part of ISO 27668 is applicable to gel ink ball pens for documentary use.

Part 1 of ISO 27668 is applicable to gel ink ball pens for general use.

For documentary use, some requirements, in addition to those for general use, are necessary

• a) to assure the legibility of lettering, and
• b) for the handling and storage of documents over long periods of time (these requirements are often discussed with the archivist).

An example of documentary use is the preparation of documents that are required as evidence.

Furthermore, pens which meet the requirements for documentary use produce lines which are more resistant to modification (e.g. attempts to falsify a document) than those for general use.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) draws attention to the fact that it is claimed that compliance with this document may involve the use of a patent concerning aqueous gel ink-filled ballpoint pens.

The holder of this patent right has assured ISO that he is willing to negotiate licences under reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions with applicants throughout the world. In this respect, the statement of the holder of this patent right is registered with ISO. Information may be obtained from:

Mitsubishi Pencil Company Limited

Patent Administration Department, 5.23-37, Higashi-ohi

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights other than those identified above. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
