CAN/CGSB-9.70-2000
1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE
1.1 The purpose of this standard is to define permanence requirements for
papers in a broad range of coated and uncoated paper grades. When used in
conjunction with other CGSB paper standards specifying each grade's performance
and physical requirements, this standard defines additional requirements
necessary to provide a high degree of certainty that a paper will remain usable
for several hundred years without significant deterioration, under normal use
and storage conditions in libraries and archives.
1.2 A key objective of the standard is to ensure that paper buyers and
specifiers have clear information on the permanence of any paper product
meeting the requirements of this standard.
1.3 The standard applies to a broad range of paper grades commonly used in
the production of records, books and other documents, which could be retained
by archives and libraries, such as: CAN/CGSB-9.1, CAN/CGSB-9.28, CAN/CGSB-9.29,
CAN/CGSB-9.36, CAN/CGSB-9.37, CAN/CGSB-9.38, CAN/CGSB-9.41, CAN/CGSB-9.51,
CAN/CGSB-9.66, and CAN/CGSB-9.67, or any other paper standards.
1.4 The testing and evaluation of a product against this standard may
require the use of materials and/or equipment that could be hazardous. This
document does not purport to address all the safety aspects associated with its
use. Anyone using this standard has the responsibility to consult the
appropriate authorities and to establish appropriate health and safety
practices in conjunction with any applicable regulatory requirements prior to
its use.
