ANSI/X9 X9.100-40-1-2006 and X9.100-40-2-2006
Part 1 of ANS X9.100-40 defines the elements and structures for standard check image tests used by the financial industry to assess specific attributes of check images. The specification establishes a framework for defining check image tests, conveying the results from executing a check image test, and conveying any parameters used in executing check image tests. Part 2 of ANS X9.100-40 describes the application and registration procedures used to register check image tests that conform to this ANS X9.100-40 Part 1 standard. Check image tests that are submitted to X9 for consideration in accordance with ANS X9.100-40 Part 2 shall be entered in the X9 Registry for Check Image Tests after the Application for a new check image test is approved. In this standard, the term check includes checks, substitute checks, and related check-sized financial items such as deposit tickets, cash tickets, and batch headers. Although the initial application for this standard is to support check image tests pertaining to image quality, the standard is applicable to any check image test that has a business purpose and is compatible with the structure defined herein.
