Jeffrey,
The closest thing I found (in a quick search) is the ANSI/NISO standard. The link is listed below along with info about the AAM and ALA publications that seem to come closest to meeting your needs. Good Luck!

Subject: Standards for archival storage?
Does anyone know of an SAA, ICA or other archival organization-based
standard, document, or policy statement on conventions for the management
and construction of archival storage, shelving, or space management-type
issues? I'm looking for official policy statements or guidelines to
use to back up some space management discussions we've been having for our
storage areas. I'm not looking for how-to books, of which I know there are
several. SAA's position statements on the webpage only go back to 1995 and
do not seem to include anything like this.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jeffrey
