Full title and description
Non-destructive testing — Industrial radiographic film — Part 1: Classification of film systems for industrial radiography. This standard specifies a method to classify the performance of film systems used with specified lead screens for industrial radiography, to help ensure radiographic image quality where film system performance is a determining factor.
Abstract
The purpose of ISO 11699-1:2008 is to establish the performance of film systems used in industrial radiography and to provide a classification of film systems in combination with specified lead screens. It is intended to support image-quality requirements in related radiographic testing standards and to exclude films used with fluorescent intensifying screens; measurement is restricted to a selected radiation quality to simplify the procedure. Additional, complementary evaluation methods are described in ISO 11699-2.

Scope
ISO 11699-1:2008 applies to the classification of industrial radiographic film systems when used with specified lead screens for non‑destructive testing. It is intended to characterise film-system performance so that the influence of the film system on radiographic image quality can be taken into account in standards and practices such as ISO 5579, ISO 17636 and EN 12681. The standard explicitly does not cover film classification when fluorescent intensifying screens are used; measurements are carried out at a selected radiation quality to simplify comparison and ranking.
Key topics and requirements
- Classification method for film systems used in industrial radiography (film + specified lead screens).
- Performance metrics and test conditions defined for a selected radiation quality to provide reproducible ranking of film systems.
- Exclusion of films intended for use with fluorescent intensifying screens.
- Intended alignment with requirements of radiographic testing standards (e.g., ISO 5579, ISO 17636, EN 12681).
- Reference to ISO 11699-2 for additional photographic-process evaluation methods and process control.
Typical use and users
Used by non‑destructive testing (NDT) laboratories, radiographic technicians and engineers, film manufacturers and suppliers, quality and inspection managers in industries that rely on X‑ray or gamma radiography (e.g., oil & gas, power generation, aerospace, heavy manufacturing), and standards committees developing or harmonising radiographic procedures. The standard helps purchasers and specifiers select film systems and allows laboratories to classify and compare film performance under standardised conditions.
Related standards

ISO/TC 135/SC 5 is the responsible technical subcommittee for these film/radiography topics.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: ISO 11699-1:2008 is an ISO international standard that defines how to classify the performance of industrial radiographic film systems used with specified lead screens for non‑destructive testing.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers procedures and test conditions to measure and rank film‑system performance (film combined with lead screens) at a selected radiation quality; it does not cover films used with fluorescent intensifying screens. It is intended to support image‑quality requirements in radiographic testing standards.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: NDT service providers, inspection and QA engineers, radiography technicians, film manufacturers and testing laboratories that need to select, compare or control the performance of radiographic film systems.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: The 2008 (Edition 2) version is the current published edition and has been confirmed in recent ISO systematic reviews; it replaced the 1998 edition. Users should check their national standards bodies for any more recent national adoptions or amendments.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: Yes — ISO 11699 is a multi‑part series; Part 1 (this standard) covers classification of film systems, and ISO 11699-2 provides additional methods for evaluating and controlling the photographic process.
Q: What are the key keywords?
A: Industrial radiographic film, film classification, non‑destructive testing, lead screens, radiography, image quality, ISO 11699-1.
