STANDARDS AND INFORMATION DOCUMENTS Call for Comment on WITHDRAWAL of AES35-2000, AES standard for audio preservation and restoration - Method for estimating life expectancy of magneto-optical (M-O) discs, based on effects of temperature and relative humidity has been published in accordance with our 5-year review policy.
The reason for withdrawal is that the Magneto-Optical discs discussed in this document are no longer in current use and it can be assumed that the content of such discs in former use have now been migrated to newer media. It is noted that, under current policy, the content of this document will remain available through the AES Standards Store as a withdrawn document; also a substantially identical document is available from the ISO as ISO 18926:2006, "Imaging materials - Information stored on magneto-optical (MO) discs - Method for estimating the life expectancy based on the effects of temperature and relative humidity".
The comment period has now closed. There were no comments.
This document was developed by a writing group of the Audio Engineering Society Standards Committee (AESSC) and has been prepared for comment according to AES policies and procedures.
