(The different rating systems are based upon entirely different premises, methods, and test conditions.) The ASA rating is a manufacturer's test made at the time of manufacture; by definition it does not cover motion picture or color films. The Weston rating specifies purchase on the open market and 3 months' storage at 20 ± 5° C. and 55 ± 5 percent relative humidity prior to processing. 560
