Overview
This standard specifies recommended storage conditions for unprocessed photographic materials. While many of the recommendations for unprocessed and processed storage are very similar, there are some important differences. These include the very beneficial effects of low temperature and the harmful effects of adverse storage and radiation. This document is also applicable to black-and-white and colour photographic materials (negative films, positive films, reversal films, positive papers, and X-ray films), as well as to safety films. It is not applicable to processed films and prints. This document (ISO 18928:2013) has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 42 "Photography" with the collaboration of DIN Working Committee NA 149-00-01 AA "Fotografische Medien" of DIN Standards Committee Entertainment Technology, Photography and Cinematography (NVBF).
