In this paper we discuss the characterization problem for posets of interval dimension at most 2. We compile the minimal list of forbidden posets for interval dimension 2. Members of this list are called 3-interval irreducible posets. The problem is related to a series of characterization problems which have been solved earlier. These are: The characterization of planar lattices, due to Kelly and Rival [5], the characterization of posets of dimension at most 2 (3-irreducible posets) which has been obtained independently by Trotter and Moore [8] and by Kelly [4] and the characterization of bipartite 3-interval irreducible posets due to Trotter [9].
