Grading

Quality levels
The verifier reports the marking quality in five grades known as "quality levels".
Older verifiers identify these grades based on a single letter A to F (without E) with F being
the lowest quality level. Verifiers of the newer generations identify the value range
numerically from 4 to 0 with 0 being the lowest quality level.
With the verifiers of the SIMATIC MV500 series, you can choose either of the quality grading
systems.
Evaluation
The classification is specified in the WBM as a value from 4 to 0 (or A to F without E). In
addition, each quality grade is assigned one of three ratings (good [G] / fair [F] / poor [P]).
This classification not only allows fast visual checks of the quality using the color coding of
the display, but also automatic rejection of the read result as "N_OK" if it falls below a certain
quality threshold.

Example
In an application in which only very good markings are acceptable, all grades below 4 are set
to "Poor". This allows the rejection of all unacceptable specimens.
3.2.3

Verification of printed labels

In 1996, the "Association for Automatic Identification and Mobility" (AIM) published the data
matrix symbology specification with an evaluation procedure for print quality. According to
this evaluation procedure, test systems could evaluate a symbol according to its degree of
acceptability (4 to 0).
The specification later became the ISO/IEC 16022 standard. This type of test was developed
for paper labels with high contrast.
