Overview
ISO 486:1988 is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that specifies the precise cutting and perforating dimensions for 16 mm motion-picture film perforated with 8 mm Type R holes. This standard also defines the finished width of the motion-picture film after processing and slitting. Commonly referred to as double 8 mm motion-picture film, this standard ensures uniformity and compatibility in cinematography film production and handling.
The third edition, published in 1988, refines the specifications from its previous versions to provide greater accuracy and consistency. ISO 486:1988 is critical for manufacturers, processors, and equipment designers involved in the production and use of 16 mm perforated film for motion picture applications.
Key Topics
- Cutting Dimensions: Defines exact measurements for the width of the 16 mm film after it is slit and processed to guarantee standardized handling.
- Perforating Dimensions: Details the size, pitch, and position of the 8 mm Type R perforations on the film edges, which are essential for film transport, alignment, and steady image capture.
- Tolerance Levels: Specifies allowable variances to ensure manufacturing accuracy, critical for film compatibility with cameras and projectors.
- Film Width After Processing: Establishes the finished film width as 15.95 mm ± 0.03 mm, ensuring consistent film handling and equipment setup.
- Low-Shrinkage Film Definition: Describes characteristics of film base materials used, particularly films that shrink no more than 0.2% under standard storage, exposure, and processing conditions.
- Dimensional Stability Considerations: Addresses factors such as temperature and humidity effects on film dimensions, important for maintaining image steadiness and film handling precision.
- Uniformity of Perforations: Highlights the critical importance of consistent pitch and hole margin for stable film transport and image steadiness during projection or digitization.
Applications
- Film Manufacturing: Enables precise cutting and perforating of 16 mm motion-picture films for uniform production quality.
- Camera Design and Operation: Allows camera manufacturers to design mechanisms compatible with double 8 mm perforation standards, ensuring smooth film transport.
- Film Processing Labs: Helps processing facilities ensure accurate film slitting and maintain film integrity post-development.
- Projection and Scanning Equipment: Facilitates the design of projectors and scanners to handle double 8 mm film reliably with minimal mechanical errors.
- Archival and Preservation: Supports film archivists by providing standard dimensional benchmarks for film storage, handling, and restoration.
- Cinematography Research and Development: Provides a technical baseline for innovation in film and digital hybrid technologies where film perforations remain relevant.
Related Standards
- ISO 543 – Cinematography - Motion-picture Safety Film - Definition, Testing, and Marking: Supports ISO 486 by defining the types of safety films used in perforation standards.
- Other ISO cinematography standards related to film formats and performance may complement ISO 486 for comprehensive film production and handling guidelines.
- National and regional standards on film material, cutting, and equipment design often reference or align with ISO 486 to ensure global compatibility.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of
national Standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International
Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Esch 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. ISO
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all
matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to
the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by
the ISO Council. They are approved in accordance with ISO procedures requiring at
least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting.
International Standard ISO 486 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 36,
Cinema tograph y.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO
486 : 1982) , of which it
constitutes a minor revision, the annex having been replaced.
Users shouid note that all International Standards undergo revision from time to time
and that any reference made herein to any other International Standard implies its
latest edition, unless otherwise stated.
