ANSI IT9.4-1988. American National Standard for Imaging Media (Film) - Lubrication on Films - Method for Determining.
Scope: The method based on the classical inclined plane friction test is intended for the detection of raw and post-process lubrication of photographic films. It provides both the processing laboratory and the consumer with the ready means to determine whether or not films are indeed lubricated. The test measures the coefficient of friction between the film surface of interest and the end of a common paper clip under a relatively high contact pressure. This method produces a quantitative measure of the friction of the film surface as determined in this test.
ANSI IT9.7-1989. American National Standard for Imaging Media - Determination of Brittleness of Photographic Film - Wedge Brittleness Test.
Scope: This international Standard specifies a method for determining and expressing quantitatively the brittleness of photographic film. It is not, however, a universal brittleness test for all films in all possible applications. In a particular situation the test may not correctly rate films for brittleness, and some special test may have to be devised to duplicate the particular type of stress encountered.
The method is applicable to film with or without a gelatin backing, and may also be applied to either raw or processed film, although the brittleness level of a given film may be quite different after processing from that before processing.
ANSI IT9.8-1989. American National Standard for Imaging Media - Photographic Film - Determination of Folding Endurance.
Scope: This International Standard specifies a method for determining and expressing quantitatively the folding endurance of photographic film. It is an analytical test and is not intended to simulate practical use conditions.
This International Standard is applicable to film with or without a gelatin backing, and may also be applied to either raw or processed film, although the flexibility level of a given film may be quite different after processing.
Equipment similar to that described in this International Standard may be used provided that a correlation has been established between the results obtained using such equipment and the results using the equipment described.
ANSI IT9.10-1991. American National Standard for Imaging Media - Determination of the Curl of Photographic Film.
Scope: This International Standard specifies methods for determining and expressing quantitatively the curl characteristics of unprocessed and processed photographic film as supplied in sheet, roll, or strip forms.
This International Standard specifies three measuring methods. Method A involves the determination of curl when the specimen is held in a vertical position, methods B and C with the specimen in a horizontal position. Values for the three methods are not comparable because of the differences in specimen configuration and size.
These methods are not intended for use in determining the curl characteristics of films during processing or drying.
ANSI IT9.14-1992. American National Standard for Imaging Media (Photographic Film and Papers) - Method for Determining the Resistance of Photographic Emulsions to Wet Abrasion.
Scope:
1.2 This method may be used to determine the effects of variations in processing solutions, gelatin layer properties, processing solution temperatures and times, or a combination of these factors on the wet scratch resistance of gelatin layers.
1.3 This method is applicable in the determination of the physical integrity of photographic emulsions when wet.
1.4 This measurement is not applicable for evaluation of support scratch resistance.
ANSI PH1.31-1973(R1979). See ANSI IT9.7-1989.
ANSI PH1.37-1977(R1989). American National Standard Methods for Determining the Scratch Resistance of Processed Photographic Film.
Scope: This standard is intended for use in evaluating the scratch resistance of dry, processed photographic film on either the emulsion or the base side. It provides empirical laboratory tests made under controlled conditions. It does not necessarily predict the actual scratch resistance of a film in any particular commercial machine. Method A requires less elaborate evaluation equipment and is less stringent in its requirements of the optical condition of the samples. Method B gives more complete information and is the preferred method.
The scratch resistance is very dependent upon the geometry of the stylus used in the test. Styli that are nominally the same may differ widely in scratch characteristics. For this reason, the methods described in this standard are good for material comparisons using a single stylus point. However, agreement of scratch levels obtained with different equipment may be poor.
ANSI PH1.42-1969(R1987). American National Standard Method for Comparing the Color Stabilities of Photographs.
Scope: This standard describes test equipment, test procedures, and methods for reporting data useful for comparing the color stability of photographs composed of dyes and for determining the stability changes produced by processing variations. Tests are made on specially prepared sample photographs using tungsten lamp projectors, fluorescent lamp viewers and Xenon-arc lamp test units. The latter light source simulates daylight. Three combinations of heat and humidity test conditions are included.
This standard does not specify which of the several tests are the most important. For complete evaluation, all the specified tests for a given type of product are to be run and the data reported.
This standard does not specify limits for the stability of color products. The test results may or may not accurately predict how long a product will be satisfactory under actual conditions of use.
Although this standard is not designed to show the physical stability or resistance to mold or fungus attack of the base or of the gelatin layers, the test results may give some pertinent information in those areas.

ISO 10977:1993. Photography - Processed Photographic Colour Films and Paper Prints - Methods for Measuring Image Stability.
Scope:
Because of the problems outlined in the Introduction, this International Standard does not specify limits of acceptability for the stability of colour products. Instead, it provides means for measuring image changes that takes [sic] place during the ageing of colour photographs and indicates the critical image-change parameters that should be calculated. This International Standard does not specify which of the several light-stability tests is the most important.
Throughout this International Standard, densities are expressed in dimensionless units.
1.2 Dark stability: The test for predicting the stability of colour photographic images in dark storage are based on an adaptation of the Arrhenius method .... Although this method is derived from well-understood and proven theoretical precepts of chemistry, the validity of its application to predicting changes of photographic images rests on empirical confirmation. Although many chromogenic-type colour products yield image fading and staining data in both accelerated and non-accelerated dark ageing test that are in good agreement with the Arrhenius relationship, some other types of products do not.
1.3 Light stability: The methods of testing light stability in this International Standard are based on the concept that increasing the light intensity without changing the spectral distribution of the illuminant or the ambient temperature and relative humidity should produce a proportional increase in the photochemical reactions that occur at typical viewing or display conditions, without introducing any undesirable side effects.
However, because of "reciprocity failures" that were discussed previously, this assumption does not always apply. Thus, the accelerated light-stability test methods described in this International Standard are valid at the specified accelerated test conditions but it is possible that they do not reliably predict the behaviour of a given product in long-term display under normal conditions.
