Major difficulties and issues encountered in composing a standard document“Control of the Museum Environment:Formaldehyde Adsorbent Materials”for providing standards for people who work on relics conservation are discussed in this paper. Specifically discussed are how to provide a standardized method to detect formaldehyde gas and how to characterize technical requirements and reasons for meeting certain technical criteria and main challenges during the editing process. The importance of selecting standard terminology, standardized processes, and scientific references to standards are described. It is also made suggestions for future research and improvements.
