National bodies that are members of IS0 or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees estab- lished by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. IS0

33、and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual inter- est. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with IS0 and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, IS0 and IEC have established a joint technical committee, IS

34、O/IEC JTC 1. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publi- cation as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the na- tional bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO/IEC 12248 was prepared b

35、y the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) (as Standard ECMA-171) and was adopted, under a special “fast-track procedure”, by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Znfomtation technology, in parallel with its approval by national bodies of IS0 and IEC. Annexes A, D, E, F, G, H, K an

VII1 ISO/IEC 12248:1993 (E) Introduction ISO/lEC have produced a series of International Standards for cassettes and cartridges containing magnetic tapes of different width and characteris

37、tics. Of these, the following relate to helical scan recording.

40、TANDARD ISO/IEC 12248:1993 (E) Information technology - 3,81 mm wide magnetic tape cartridge for information interchange - Helical scan recording - DATA/DAT-DC format using 60 m and 90 m length tapes Section 1 - General 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the physical and magnetic characte

41、ristics of a 3,81 mm wide magnetic tape cartridge to enable interchangeability of such cartridges. It also specifies the quality of the recorded signals, the recorded format and the recording method, thereby allowing data interchange between drives by means of such magnetic tape cartridges. The form

42、at used is known as DATA/DAT-DC. This International Standard specifies two types of cartridges which, for the purpose of this International Standard, are referred to as Type A and Type B. For Type A, the magnetic tape has a nominal thickness of 13 pm and a nominal length of up to 605 m. For Type B,

43、the magnetic tape has a nominal thickness of 9 pm a length of up to 92.0 m. Information interchange between systems by means of this International Standard also requires the use, at a minimum, of a labelling and file structure and an interchange code which are agreed upon by the interchange parties.

44、 It is not within the scope of this International Standard to specify the labelling and file structure, or the interchange code. 2 Conformance 2.1 Magnetic tape cartridge A tape cartridge shall be in conformance with this International Standard if it meets all mandatory requirements specified herein

45、 for either Type A or Type B. The tape requirements shall be satisfied throughout the extent of the tape. 2.2 Generating system A system generating a magnetic tape cartridge for interchange shall be entitled to claim conformance to this International Standard if all recordings on the tape meet the m

46、andatory requirements of this International Standard. A claim of conformance shall state whether cartridges of Type A or Type B or both are supported. 2.3 Receiving system A system receiving a magnetic tape cartridge for interchange shall be entitled to claim conformance with this International Stan

47、dard if it is able to handle any recording made on the tape according to this International Standard. A claim of conformance shall state whether cartridges of Type A or Type B or both are supported. 3 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this te

48、xt, constitute provisions of this International Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent edi

49、tions of the standards listed below. Members of IEC and IS0 maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.
