ISO 7637-1:2015 defines the basic terms relating to electrical disturbances from conduction and coupling used in the other parts of ISO 7637. It also gives general information on the whole ISO 7637 series.

This International Standard specifies requirements and test methods for evaluation of the permanence and

durability of writing, printing and copying on paper stored in libraries, archives and other protected environments for

long periods of time.

It is applicable to

images on paper with the exception of documents within the scope of ISO/TC 42, Photography;

multicoloured images.

The information contents of multicoloured images should be retained but not necessarily the full artistic quality of the

coloured image. Documents where the information contents are influenced by small colour changes are not covered

by this International Standard.

It does not apply to

documents stored under harmful conditions, such as high humidity that may promote microbiological attack,

excessive heat, radiation (e.g. light), high levels of pollutants, or the influence of water. Since documents may

be kept in non-protected environments before being transferred to protected environments, resistance to water

and light is, however, of importance;

legal documentation, e.g. banking documents, where the authenticity is of primary interest.

This document defines terms used in documents in the fields of environmental management systems and tools in support of sustainable development. These include management systems, auditing and other types of assessment, communications, footprinting studies, greenhouse gas mitigation and adaptation to climate change.

N/A

ISO 11620:2014 is applicable to all types of libraries in all countries. However, not all performance indicators apply to all libraries. Limitations on the applicability of individual performance indicators are listed in the scope clause of the description of each indicator.

Performance indicators can be used for comparison over time within the same library. Comparisons between libraries can also be made, but only with caution. Comparisons between libraries will need to take into account any differences in the constituencies of the libraries and library attributes, with a good understanding of the indicators used, limitations to comparisons, and careful interpretation of the data).

ISO 11620:2014 offers accepted, tested, and publicly accessible (i.e. non-proprietary) methodologies and approaches to measuring a range of library service performance.
