Apologies for cross-posting. I don't think that
I've ever written a standards update relating to ISO image permanence standards
for this discussion group. However, I'm announcing that the ISO standard for
photographic enclosures has been updated and is now available. Historically, ISO
18902 only dealt with enclosures for dark storage and mounting materials, but
the recent update has been expanded to include framing materials and albums. As
far as I know, the standard is only available in English and should be available
from your home country's national standards body, directly from ISO (as a paper
copy or pdf format file) at http://www.iso.org/iso/home.htm or
from an accredited dealer such as NSSN http://www.nssn.org/ .
