ISO/TS 18344:2016定义了纸张脱酸过程有效性和一致性的测试方法和最低要求。 它适用于所有大型工艺，这些工艺可对印刷或手写纸制成的酸性文件进行脱酸。 脱酸过程对处理对象可能产生的负面副作用不在本技术规范范围内。然而，关于如何应对这些副作用的一些一般性建议见附件A。 也没有规定哪种类型的纸质物体可以通过大规模的脱酸方法处理。无论目前使用的是何种脱酸方法，一些物体可能会被排除在处理之外，以避免对纸张和装订造成机械损伤或其他不必要的副作用。 脱酸处理供应商应告知客户所选方法的局限性。

ISO/TS 18344:2016 defines test methods and minimum requirements for paper deacidification processes regarding their effectiveness and consistency. It is applicable for all large scale processes which offer deacidification of acid documents made of printed or hand-written paper. Possible negative side effects of deacidification processes on the treated objects are not the subject of this Technical Specification. However, some general recommendations for how to cope with these side effects are given in Annex A. It is not specified either, which types of paper objects can be treated by large scale deacidification methods. Whatever currently available deacidification method is used, some objects might be excluded from treatment to avoid mechanical damage to paper and bindings or other unwanted side effects. The provider of the deacidification treatment should inform the customer about the limitations of the chosen method.
