However, some general recommendations for how to cope with these sideeffects are given in Annex A.It is not specified either, which types of paper objects can be treated by large scale deacidificationmethods. Whatever currently available deacidification method is used, some objects might be excludedfrom 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 thechosen method.Cross References:ISO 535ISO 536ISO 776ISO 5351:2010ISO 5626ISO 5630-5:2008ISO 6588-1ISO 9184-1ISO 9184-4ISO 10716 ZM IV/30/62ZM IV/58/80
