13、 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 technical committee has been established has

14、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 of electrotechnical standardization. Intern

15、ational 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 to the member bodies for voting. Publicati

16、on 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 responsible for identifying any or all suc

17、h patent rights. ISO 18905 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 42, Photography. ISO 18905 cancels and replaces ISO 8225:1995, of which it constitutes a technical revision. This International Standard is one of a series of International Standards dealing with the physical properties and stabil

18、ity 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 D of this International Standard are for information only. BSISO18905:2002 vIntroduction Since 1930, great advances have

19、 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 stimulated by recognition of the resultant economies in storage space,

20、 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 for records having long-term values necessitated the developme

21、nt 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 diazo film) and ISO 18912 (for vesicular film) give the requirements for phot

22、ographic 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 International Standard. For example, LE-100 represents film with a life

23、 expectancy of 100 years when stored at 21 C and 50 % RH. Criteria for properties of LE-10 and LE-100 diazo films are based upon the dark-ageing stability of diazo images. Different dark-incubation tests are specified for LE-10 and LE-100 films. All other properties and processing requirements for m

24、edium and long-term diazo films are identical. It is recognized that diazo images may show density changes after exposure to light. 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 th

25、is International Standard ensure satisfactory behaviour for storage copies that are not intended to be subjected to frequent light exposure. In addition to the characterization of films with respect to their expected storage life, diazo films are also separated into two classes (A and B) which are d

26、ependent upon their intended use. Class A films are those which retain density in both the visual and actinic region (printing) after storage. Such films can be viewed directly or reprinted onto ultraviolet (UV)-sensitive materials. However, some diazo films are not intended to be reprinted onto UV-

27、 sensitive materials and require only visual capabilities after storage. Such films are designated as Class B films. Obviously, 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-stab

28、ility tests after dark-ageing and after light-fading. Everyone concerned with the preservation of records on photographic film 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

29、the correct storage temperature and humidity, as well as protection from the hazards of fire, water, light and certain atmospheric pollutants. Conditions for the storage of record films are specified in ISO 18902 and ISO 18911. BSISO18905:2002INTENRATIONAL TSANDADR IS:50981 O2002(E)1Imaging material

30、s Ammonia-processed diazo photographic film Specifications for stability 1 Scope This International Standard establishes specifications for the stability of polyester-base safety film which has an ammonia-processed diazo photographic image. It is applicable only to diazo photographic films intended

31、for and used as LE-10 and LE-100 storage copies, which shall be stored in accordance with ISO 18902 and 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 charact

32、eristics of the film and the original image quality. The latter is discussed in annex C. This International 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 Stand

33、ard is not applicable to diazo film records intended and used as “work” or “use” copies as discussed in annex B. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard. For dated referenc

34、es, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undated refere
