1.1* Scope. A.1.1 Although the storage and handling of cellulose nitrate film have a good safety record, fire tests conducted prior to 1967 indicated the desirability of a modification of existing standards. The requirements of this standard, therefore, apply strictly to long-term storage of cellulose nitrate film. 1.1.1* This standard shall apply to all facilities that are involved with the storage and handling of cellulose nitrate– based film. A.1.1.1 Cellulose nitrate–based film includes, but is not limited to, original negative, duplicate negative, interpositive (fine grain), color separation master (YCM), successive exposure master (SEN), optical soundtrack negative or master, mattes, title bands, and release prints. 1.1.2 This standard shall not apply to the storage and handling of film having a base other than cellulose nitrate. Fee may be required
