AES38-2000 (r2010), Method for estimating life expectancy of information stored in recordable compact disc systems has been reaffirmed.
This standard specifies test methods for estimating the life expectancy of information stored in recordable compact disc systems. Only the effects of temperature and relative humidity on the media are considered. The standardized life expectancy estimated using this model is defined for discs maintained at 25 °C and 50 % RH. Discs exposed to more severe conditions of temperature and humidity are expected to experience a shorter life. The test plan documented in this standard does not attempt to model degradation due to exposure to light, corrosive gases, contaminants, or mishandling, and variations in the playback subsystem.
