Photographic Activity Test – PAT

PAT is a worldwide established standard and is considered as an important seal of approval for the quality of archive materials.

The test evaluates materials for its long term archival quality and their use in photographic enclosures. It involves incubating samples and detectors in a high-temperature (70 °C), high-humidity (86 %) accelerated aging environment. 

ISO 18916:2007 evaluates possible chemical interactions between enclosures with processed silver-gelatin, colour (dye-gelatin), inkjet prints made with dye-based and pigment-based inks, thermal dye diffusion transfer (“dye sub”) prints, digitally printed dye-diffusion-transfer prints, liquid- and dry-toner xerographic prints, liquid-toner electrostatic prints, and diazo images after long-term storage.

MACO Glassine Negative Sleeves are certified to ISO 18916: 2007 and meet the high requirements of the Photographic Activity Test (PAT).
