9、hts reservedForeword 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 f

10、or which a technical 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

11、 all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees a

12、re circulated 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 document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held

13、responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 18934 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 42, Photography. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 18934:2006), which has been technically revised. BS ISO 18934:2011ISO 18934:2011(E) ISO 2011 All rights res

14、erved vIntroduction Historically, technical committees ISO/TC 36 and ISO/TC 42 have published ISO storage standards specific to individual materials. Many of these temperature and relative humidity recommendations are based on laboratory studies using Arrhenius type projections that allow extrapolat

15、ion of high temperature incubation tests to recommended storage environments at reduced temperatures. This also allows a prediction of the life expectancy of materials. This approach and the resulting analysis are logical when each medium is considered by itself. The individual ISO storage standards

16、 are sound and the predicted life expectancies have been consistent with practical experience. However, the storage conditions can differ widely for various media and reflect differences in their inherent stability. The extended-term storage conditions recommended in the various standards provide wi

17、de humidity ranges and set only a maximum temperature limit with considerable overlap in allowed environmental conditions across several media types. In the real world, archivists and curators frequently are faced with the task of storing many types of material, such as film, prints, tapes, etc. Arc

18、hives often contain media that cannot be separated without destroying the integrity of the collection. In other archives, one collection can consist primarily of one medium, but there are many collections each with different media. In either situation, it might not be practical or realistic for the

19、archivist to provide a number of different storage environments that are optimized for each material. The cost and inconvenience would be prohibitive; moreover, records of the same or similar subject matter are usually stored in close proximity to facilitate reference, not by the type of medium. The

20、 archivist of a multiple media collection might be forced to limit the number of storage environments that can be provided. In some cases, this means some deviation from the ISO storage recommendations and can compromise the life expectancies specified in the standards. This compromise can be based

21、on the value, physical size, quantity, or legal requirements to maximize life expectancy of some collections relative to others. This International Standard provides an assessment of the keeping qualities for four storage environments. As such, it is most useful for storage facilities that house dif

22、ferent types of materials, but does not override the ISO recommendations for single medium collections. Institutions with substandard environments and restricted budgets are encouraged to plan for the improvement of these environments as resources allow by judicious use of air conditioning, dehumidi

23、fiers (or humidifiers), air circulation and filtration. Although practicalities can force compromises, any improvement of poor conditions will add to the longevity of materials, even if they do not attain the life expectancies possible with the environments recommended in the ISO standards. Basic ai

24、r conditioning principles, the various options and the associated costs are not addressed in this International Standard. There are many references on this subject.

25、ia archives Storage environment 1 Scope This International Standard provides suggested guidelines for four temperature and humidity macro-environments for archives that contain a variety of recording media, based on the corresponding ISO storage standards for those media. Whenever possible, this Int

26、ernational Standard recommends that users follow the storage environments in the ISO storage standards. This International Standard does not replace those ISO storage standards. In addition to environment recommendations, those standards also include other vital information pertinent to the long-ter

27、m keeping of recording materials, such as inspection, housing, and handling guidelines. Although microenvironments within a storage enclosure can be dependent upon the macro-environment, they are not the focus of this International Standard. The storage of traditional paper collections is not within

28、 the scope of this International Standard. However, many archives containing mixed recording media also include such collections. Archivists are encouraged to review the appropriate standards (see References 1 and 2) for those materials. Nitrate-base photographic films are also included in this Inte

29、rnational Standard, since they are often stored together with other materials. NOTE Nitrate-base films represent a fire hazard and need to be stored in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association standard3in the United States, or other applicable national standards. Moreover, fumes from

30、 decomposing nitrate film and acetate-base film can have detrimental effects on other materials stored in the same area11. A solution to this problem is to isolate such films in a separate storage area. This International Standard does not address the various strategies to upgrade substandard enviro

31、nments that deviate from those recommended by ISO standards. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

43、NOTE Ideally the storage environment will meet the relevant ISO criteria. 4 Recommendations 4.1 Temperature range The guidelines for extended-term storage conditions given in this International Standard specify four different temperature ranges for the storage of mixed media collections: room; cool;

44、 cold; subzero (see Table 1). Room conditions are satisfactory for materials that are considered to be chemically stable, such as black-and-white silver and carbon images on polyester base, glass and paper. Cool conditions are suitable for materials whose stability can be compromised at cold tempera

45、tures (magnetic media) and for unstable materials (e.g. black-and-white acetate film) provided that a low RH can be maintained. Cold conditions are recommended for unstable materials, such as some colour photographs and cellulosic based films. Subzero conditions should be used to obtain the maximum

46、life for all materials that can tolerate this environment. It should also be used for unstable materials which have little tolerance for higher temperatures. In some situations, chemical degradation might have already started as evidenced by the vinegar odour of deteriorating acetate-base photograph

47、ic films, by rusted cans or image degradation for nitrate-base films, or by colour deterioration. These materials should always be stored in the subzero environment. The archivist should choose the temperature range that is most suitable for the specific collection with the objective of obtaining a

48、temperature range as close as possible to the ISO recommendations.

This can offset slightly higher temperatures in other seasons where it is impractical to maintain the low temperature.
