This ballot is for the periodic review of the published standard ANSI/NISO Z39.48-1992 (R2009) Permanence of Paper for Publications and Documents in Libraries and Archives. This standard was last reviewed and reaffirmed in 2009.

In accordance with NISO procedures, all review ballots are accompanied by a recommendation from the responsible leadership committee. NISO's Content and Collection Management Topic Committee recommends to REVISE the standard.

Investigation by the Content and Collections Management Topic Committee revealed that the standard should be revised and updated to address issues of lignin, recycled content, and fillers; investigate further testing of how lingin affects permanence; and investigate methods to reveal compliance (re Notice of Compliance section).

If revision is approved, NISO will form a Working Group to update and revise the standard.
If you would like to nominate someone to participate on the Working Group (if the revision is approved), please provide a name and contact information in your comments. NISO Working Group participation is not limited to NISO members.
