This document specifies a method for determining scanning productivity by measuring “scanning 
speed”, “scan to network folder speed” and “scan to PC speed”. It includes test files, test setup procedure, 
test procedure and the reporting requirements for the scanning productivity measurements. This 
document is applicable to scanning devices including but not limited to multi-function devices, 
networked scanners and single-function scanners of any underlying scanning technology.
This document is applicable to devices which are able to scan a media size of A4/8,5" × 11" and which 
have an automatic document feeder (ADF). It is also applicable to devices which have the ability to scan 
to network folder, or folder on PC and do not require, but can use, other application programs on a 
computer or another device to perform a scanning job.
This document does not apply to testing and measurement of scan to USB, scan to local hard drive or 
other storage medium that is part of or plugged into the scanner.
This document is not intended to be used for image quality measurement, document or record 
management of any scanned images./IEC 17991:2015), which has been technically revised. The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows: — changed the document structure to be consistent with other productivity standards; — added single function scanners to the Scope; — updated reporting to include examples of minimum declarations; — added “first page eject” test result to the “1 set” test from ready. Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A complete li
