Overview
ISO 8001:1984 - Cinematography: Underexposed motion‑picture film requiring forced development - Designation method defines a standardized method for identifying motion‑picture negative and reversal films that were underexposed and therefore require forced (push) development. The standard specifies identification codes and how those codes should be presented to a processing laboratory but does not prescribe the developer procedures or process parameters themselves.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Applies to underexposed motion‑picture negative and reversal films that need forced/push processing to compensate for underexposure.
- Identification codes: A simple coding table is provided to indicate the degree of underexposure (for example, codes for compensating by the equivalent of +1 diaphragm or +2 diaphragms).
- Instructions to laboratory: The code corresponding to the required compensation must be included with the film and affixed to the outside of the film container so the processing lab can identify the needed treatment.
- Definitions: Clarifies terms such as normal development (manufacturer‑recommended process) and forced development (processing adjusted to compensate for underexposure).
- Quality caution: Notes that underexposure and forced development can degrade image quality and therefore should be used only when necessary.
- Standards governance: Prepared by ISO/TC 36 (Cinematography).
Applications
ISO 8001:1984 is practical for professionals involved in film capture, handling and processing:
- Location camera crews and cinematographers: to mark film cans when exposures are known to be low and push processing is needed.
- Film processing laboratories: to receive clear, standardized instructions about when and how a roll should be treated as underexposed (without ambiguity).
- Film labs and post‑production supervisors: to manage workflow, logging and traceability for pushed rolls.
- Archives and restoration specialists: for documenting original exposure conditions and processing history when preserving or restoring material.
Benefits
- Ensures consistent communication between production and labs.
- Reduces processing errors and misinterpretation of special development requests.
- Improves traceability of exposure‑compensation treatments across productions and facilities.

Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of
national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of preparing International
Standards is normally carried out through IS0 technical committees. Every member
body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, govern-
mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to
the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by
the IS0 Council. They are approved in accordance with IS0 procedures requiring at
least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting.
International Standard IS0 8001 was prepared by Technical Committee lSO/TC 36,
Cinema tograph y.
