NFPA 40 provides guidelines for the storage and handling of cellulose nitrate motion
picture film. Coverage includes information on film cabinets, vaults, archival vaults,
projection rooms, and film exchanges.
The 2001 Code has been expanded to include requirements for flat (still) cellulose
nitrate film as well as motion picture cellulose nitrate film. This expanded coverage
consolidates all cellulose nitrate film storage requirements into one document.
