ISO/IEC 16963:2017 specifies an accelerated ageing test method for estimating the lifetime of the retrievability of information stored on recordable or rewritable optical disks. The method is based on the theoretical assumption that the lifetime of data recorded on an optical disk has a lognormal distribution. Detailed testing is specified for the following formats: DVD-R/RW/RAM disks, +R/+RW disks, CD-R/RW disks and BD recordable/rewritable disks. The testing can be applied to additional optical-disk formats with substitution of the appropriate specifications and can also be updated by the committee in the future as required. ISO/IEC 16963:2017 includes: - stress conditions: - Basic and Rigorous stress-conditions for testing and subsequent analysis using both the Eyring and Arrhenius methods; - ambient storage conditions in which the lifetime of data stored on optical disk is estimated: - a Controlled storage-condition, Temp = 25 °C and RH = 50 %, representing full-time air conditioning. The Eyring method is used to estimate the lifetime under this storage condition; - a Harsh storage-condition, Temp = 30 °C and RH = 80 %, representing the most severe conditions in which users handle and store optical disks. The Arrhenius method is used to estimate the lifetime under this storage condition; - a description of the evaluation system; - procedures for specimen preparation and data acquisition; - definitions and methods used in testing specific disk types; - analysis of test results to determine the lifetime of stored data; - a format for reporting the estimated lifetime of stored data. The methodology includes only the effects of temperature and relative humidity. It does not attempt to model degradation due to complex failure mechanism kinetics, nor does it test for exposure to light, corrosive gases, contaminants, handling, or variations in playback subsystems. Disks exposed to these additional sources of stress or higher levels of temperature and relative humidity are expected to experience shorter usable lifetime.

This International Standard establishes general principles for the care and handling of digital optical
discs during use. It addresses the issues of physical integrity of the medium necessary to preserve access
to the recorded data (information). This International Standard includes recommendations for handling
procedures to maximize the effective life of optical discs. Faulty handling, packing and transporting
techniques and methods often cause physical damage to the discs and to the content recorded thereon.
Extending the longevity of optical discs requires the identification of appropriate handling methods, as
well as well-developed and implemented training programs.
For the purposes of this International Standard, the term “optical disc” includes the families of compact
disc (CD), digital versatile disc (DVD), high definition digital versatile disc (HD DVD) and Blu-ray disc
(BD)1), and any hybrids of these families. The term “optical disc” also includes each type of disc within
a family, including injection moulded [read-only memory (ROM)], dye-layer [recordable (R)] and phase
change [rewritable (RW, RE), random access memory (RAM), and recordable (BD-R)] technologies.
While some of the recommendations in this International Standard (e.g. those for staff training) apply
specifically to large-scale or long term usage, the basics of all recommendations in this International
Standard are intended to be applied in circumstances where the desired result is long-term usage of the
medium whether archival, commercial or personal.
This International Standard does not cover magneto-optical (MO) discs, laser discs (LD) or glass discs.
At the time of writing, International Standards do not exist for HD DVD and Blu-ray discs. Nonetheless,
it is believed that the recommendations in this International Standard for care and handling can equally
apply to them. It is recognized that some of these requirements are not necessarily possible for the
individual user to achieve.
The following are within the scope of this International Standard:
— use and handling environments, including pollutants, temperature and humidity and light exposure;
— contamination concerns;
— inspection;
— cleaning and maintenance, including cleaning methods and frequency;
— transportation;
— disasters, including water, fire, construction and post-disaster procedures;
— staff training.
The quality of the data written on the disc is outside the scope of this International Standard. However,
a high quality result of the recording phase is important to the longevity of information. It is advisable
that a rigorous program of data integrity testing be implemented, as this forms an obligatory part of
all digital long-term storage. In addition, when keeping digital information for archival purposes, it is
advisable that a multiple copy/multiple location strategy be in place.

This International Standard establishes extended-term storage conditions for optical discs and provides recommendations concerning the storage conditions, storage facilities, enclosures, and inspection for optical discs. It is applicable to discs made for audio, video, instrumentation, and computer use. Recommendations are general in nature and it is advisable that the manufacturer's cautions for specific material be considered. Relaxation from these recommendations, whether before or after recording, will generally result in shortened life expectancy.
