14、reword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a tec

15、hnical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters o

16、f electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated

17、to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held

18、responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 18912 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 42, Photography. ISO 18912 cancels and replaces the second edition of ISO 9718:1995, of which it constitutes a technical revision. This International Standard is one of a series of Interna

19、tional Standards dealing with the physical properties and stability of imaging materials. To facilitate identification of these International Standards, they are assigned a number within the block from 18900 18999 (see annex A). Annexes A to G of this International Standard are for information only.

20、 BSISO18912:2002 vIntroduction Since 1930, great advances have been made in the use of photographic films for the preservation of records. The preservation of records on film by national, state and municipal governments, by banks, insurance companies, industry and other enterprises has been stimulat

21、ed by recognition of the resultant economies in storage space, organization, accessibility and ease of reproduction. The safe-keeping of pictorial film records having legal, scientific, industrial, medical, historical, military or other values has also become increasingly important. The use of film

22、for records having long-term values necessitated the development of International Standards to specify the characteristics of film suitable for this purpose. ISO 18901 specifies the requirements for silver-gelatin films which are suitable for storage. This International Standard (for vesicular film)

23、 and ISO 18905 (for diazo film) give the requirements for photographic duplicate films suitable for storage. The term “archival film” has been discontinued and the new concept of “life expectancy” is introduced. Film life is classified by the LE or life expectancy rating as defined in this Internati

24、onal Standard. For example, LE-100 represents film with a life expectancy of 100 years when stored at 21 C and 50 % RH. Criteria for properties of LE-10 and LE-100 vesicular films are based upon the dark-ageing stability of D minprocessed areas. Different dark-incubation tests are specified for LE-1

25、0 and LE-100 films. All other properties and processing requirements for medium and long-term vesicular films are identical. In addition to tests to ensure that the density of D minareas does not increase to unacceptable levels during storage, a test is also specified on high-density areas. This is

26、to guard against the possibility of vesicle (or bubble) collapse during storage. This test has to be carried out at temperatures below the softening point of the image binder, as tests above this temperature have no practical meaning (see 1, 2 in the bibliography). However, to give confidence of acc

27、eptable image stability, the permissible density change was set as low as possible, in line with the measurement error of the densitometer. Both LE-10 and LE-100 vesicular films shall meet the same requirement. It is recognized that vesicular images may show density changes after exposure to light.

28、However, this International Standard covers only films used as storage copies, not as work copies (as defined in annex B). The light-fading requirements specified in this International Standard ensure satisfactory behaviour for storage copies that are not intended to be subjected to frequent light e

29、xposure. In addition to the characterization of films with respect to their expected storage life, vesicular films are also separated into two classes (A and B) which are dependent upon their intended use. Class A films are those which retain density in both the visual and actinic region (printing)

30、after storage. Such films can be viewed directly or reprinted onto ultraviolet (UV)-sensitive materials. However, some vesicular films are not intended to be reprinted onto UV-sensitive materials and require only visual capabilities after storage. Such films are designated as Class B films. Obviousl

31、y, both Class A and Class B films can faIl into the LE-10 and LE-100 categories. The requirements for Class A and Class B films are identical, with the exception of image-stability tests after dark-ageing and after light-fading. Everyone concerned with the preservation of records on photographic fil

32、m should realize that specifying the chemical and physical characteristics of the material does not, by itself, assure satisfactory behaviour. It is also essential to provide the correct storage temperature and humidity, as well as protection from the hazards of fire, water, light and certain atmosp

33、heric pollutants. Conditions for the storage of record films are specified in ISO 18902 and ISO 18911. BSISO18912:2002INTENRATIONAL TSANDADR IS:21981 O2002(E)1Imaging materials Processed vesicular photographic film Specifications for stability 1 Scope This International Standard establishes specific

34、ations for the stability of polyester-base safety film which has a heat-processed vesicular photographic image formed by nitrogen bubbles. It is applicable only to vesicular photographic film intended and used as LE-10 and LE-100 storage copies, which shall be stored in accordance with ISO 18902 and

35、 ISO 18911. This document characterizes only the inherent keeping behaviour of the film. However, the suitability of a film record after extended storage depends on both the inherent ageing characteristics of the film and the original image quality. The latter is discussed in annex C. This Internati

36、onal Standard is applicable to photographic film in which the image layer is a discrete layer attached to a transparent support, and it applies to roll film and sheet film. This International Standard is not applicable to vesicular film records intended and used as “work” or “use” copies as discusse

37、d in annex B. The effects of heat and pressure are discussed in annex D and those of high humidity in annex E. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard.
