3、nd other criteria forapproval have been met by the standards developer.Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board ofStandards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directlyand materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much morethan a simple majority

Consensus requiresthat all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort bemade toward their resolution.The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approvedt

10、 ANSI/NAPM IT9.13-1996.)This standard lists definitions on the permanence of imaging materialsused in American National Standards on material specifications and stor-age practices. Of particular importance is the definition for archival. Theterm, archival, has been interpreted to have many meanings,

11、 ranging from“the preservation of information forever” to “temporary storage of activelyused information.” It is, therefore, recommended that the term archival notbe used in standards for stability of recording materials and systems.This standard is a revision of the 1992 document. In addition to im

12、prove-ments in the definitions for photographic materials, terms have beenadded for magnetic and optical materials.Suggestions for the improvement of this standard will be welcome. Theyshould be sent to the National Association of Photographic Manufacturers,Inc., 550 Mamaroneck Avenue, Suite 307, Ha
