CAN/CGSB-48.5-95 Part II: Chapter 7

7.1 Introduction Meticulous housekeeping and attention to detail are the keynotes of good darkroom work. It is important, therefore, that considerable attention be given to the process involved in the development and fixation, to the establishment of a standardized working routine, to the care and maintenance of equipment and also to the ability to trace the origin of faults other than those directly related to errors in exposure. Approved darkroom practices begin with the planning and construction of the darkroom itself. The location, design and construction of the processing and film handling facilities are major factors in the establishment of radiographic services.
