The standards committees are composed of representatives of relevant interests including producers, co

3、nsumers and other users, retailers, governments, educational institutions, technical, professional and trade societies, and research and testing organizations. Any given standard is developed on the consensus of views expressed by such representatives.CGSB has been accredited by the Standards Counci

The standards that it develops and offers as National Standards of Canada conform to the criteria and procedures established for this purpose by the Standards Council of Canada. In addition to standards it publishes as National Standards

5、of Canada, CGSB produces standards to meet particular needs, in response to requests from a variety of sources in both the public and private sectors. Both CGSB standards and CGSB national standards are developed in conformance with the policies described in the CGSB Policy and Procedures Manual for

This Subcommittee was e

29、stablished in November 1991 and was harmonized with the Canadian Advisory Committee on ISO/TC 46/SC 10 Requirements for document storage and conditions for preservation for the review and development of standards relating to the permanence of paper, and was approved by the CGSB Committee on Printing

30、 and writing paper. As in other nations, Canadian librarians, archivists and conservators have long observed the rapid deterioration which threatens much of our paper-based heritage. While storage conditions and environmental factors contribute to this deterioration, scientists also recognized that

31、some of the components and chemical processes used in the manufacture of paper play a large role in its decomposition. Deacidification, microfilm and digital technology can help forestall the loss of deteriorating materials but are costly solutions for libraries and archives. The simple preventative

32、 strategy of printing records and publications on permanent paper can help ensure that our heritage is still usable hundreds of years from today. In drafting this standard, the Committee began with the definition of paper permanence found in the ANSI and ISO standards: the ability of paper to last a

33、t least several hundred years without significant deterioration under normal use and storage conditions in libraries and archives. The Committee recognized that two aspects of permanence are involved: mechanical permanence or the maximum retention of the papers strength properties; and optical perma

34、nence, which is not scientifically defined but is generally assumed to mean the maximum retention of the papers original brightness and colour. Librarians and archivists are concerned about those parameters of permanence which affect the long-term usability of paper and the legibility of the informa

35、tion it contains. While mechanical permanence is essential in all cases, the need for optical permanence is variable. For many applications, a degree of change in appearance can be tolerated provided it does not have a negative impact on the legibility or reproducibility of the information. For some

36、 documents with high aesthetic or artifactual value, any degree of visible change is undesirable. While permanent paper standards exist in other countries, the debate in Canada centered on the limitation on lignin content common to these standards. This resulted in Canadas decision to submit an abst

37、aining vote on the Draft International Standard DIS 9706. Both ANSI/NISO Z39.48:1992 and ISO 9706:1994 standards contain references to the fact that some alkaline papers with levels of lignin higher than those specified in their standard passed the accelerated aging tests used in their standard deve

38、lopment process. However, alkaline papers containing more than 1 % lignin were subsequently excluded due to the expressed need for further research to define more precisely the conditions under which higher levels of lignin are compatible with paper permanence. ISO also indicated concern over the la

39、ck of scientific certitude around the effects of oxides of sulphur and nitrogen in the atmosphere on lignin-containing fibres. Addressing the need to learn more about the impact of lignin on paper permanence before work could begin on a Canadian standard, the CGSB Subcommittee on Permanence of paper

40、 developed a research program for which Government and industry sponsorship was obtained. The requirements in this standard are based upon the results of this Canadian Co-operative Permanent Paper Research Project1, which concluded its three-year examination of the impact of lignin on paper permanen

41、ce in April 1997. This research which confirmed earlier work on mechanical properties, found that an alkaline reserve is very effective in reducing the negative impact of airborne pollutants and accelerated aging in both lignin-containing and lignin-free 1Zou, X., Gurnagul, N., Deschtelets, S., Bgin

42、, P., Iraci, J., Grattan, D., Kaminska, E., and Woods, D., “Canadian Co-operative Permanent Paper Research Project: The impact of Lignin on Paper Permanence”, Final report, January 1998. C*/CGSB9.702016 iii CGSB 2016 All rights reserved sheets2. The key finding of this project was that in alkaline p

43、apers buffered with calcium carbonate (those with a pH of 7.0 or higher), the presence of lignin has no negative impact on their mechanical permanence. An adequate alkaline buffer is, therefore, the main determinant of mechanical permanence of paper. The CGSB standard responds to questions raised ab

44、out the inclusion of lignin in permanent papers by providing a scientifically-based specification for mechanical permanence. This standard recognizes that there are no specifications and thus no optical permanence assurances offered in any of the permanent paper standards published at the time of th

45、is writing. Because there is an absence of usable science on which to base specifications, in order to give a greater level of assurance to paper buyers and users, the Committee concluded that the CGSB standard would offer guidance that will potentially provide for a high level of optical permanence

46、 based on accumulated practical experience (see Annex B). In addition, several ISO standards (ISO 5630 series) on accelerated ageing are available to evaluate the effect of thermal treatment, atmospheric pollutants, or exposure to light. As a result of these discussions, two categories of permanence

47、 have been established: 1) mechanical and 2) mechanical and optical. 2Zeisler, P., Hamm, U., and Gottsching, L., “The Effect of Air Pollutants on the Permanence of Paper.

48、0-2000 Permanence of paper for records, books and other documents 1 Scope This National Standard of Canada defines permanence requirements for paper in a broad range of coated and uncoated paper grades. When used in conjunction with other CGSB paper standards specifying each grades performance and p

49、hysical requirements, this standard defines additional requirements necessary to provide a high degree of certainty that a paper will remain usable for several hundred years without significant deterioration, under normal use and storage conditions in libraries and archives. A key objective of the standard is to ensure that paper buyers and specifiers have clear information on the permanence of any paper product meeting the requirements of this standard. The standard applies to a broad range of paper grades common
