David, in the US, ANSI/AIIM MS44 "Recommended Practice for Quality Control of Image Scanners" applies to the scanning of office documents for commercial purposes. 

See also the associated Technical Reports ANSI/AIIM TR34 and ANSI/AIIM TR38.

The US National Archives and Records Administration also has guidelines for the scanning of office documents.

AIIM also publishes a variety of books on such subjects as scanning workflow, procedures, and the like.

Best regards

Would anyone be able to recommend any standards for electronic scanning of documents?  I am particularly interested in Canadian & US standards, but international ones are ok too.

Thanks,
Dave
