41、70ISO/IEC11557:1992 (E) viii BSI 03-2000 Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (theInternational Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system forworldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of

42、 International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in l

43、iaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC1. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an

44、International Standard requires approval by at least75% of the national bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO/IEC11557 was prepared by the European Computer Manufacturers Association (as Standard ECMA-150) and was adopted, under a special “fast-track procedure”, by Joint Technical Commit

45、tee ISO/IEC JTC1, Information technology, in parallel with its approval by national bodies of ISO and IEC. Annex A,Annex D toAnnex H andAnnex K form an integral part of this International Standard. Annex B,Annex C,Annex J,Annex L toAnnex N are for information only. Patents During the preparation of

46、the ECMA standard, information was gathered on patents upon which application of the standard might depend. Relevant patents were identified as belonging to Hewlett Packard Limited and the Sony Corporation. However, neither ECMA, nor ISO/IEC can give authoritative or comprehensive information about

47、evidence, validity or scope of patent and like rights. The patent holders have stated that licences will be granted under reasonable and non-discriminatory terms.

49、fications which specify the additional features of the DDS-DC recorded format. The specifications of the tape, cartridge, recorded signal, recording method and most of the recorded format are identical with those in ISO/IEC10777. This International Standard specifies two types of tape cartridge. For type A, the magnetic tape has a nominal thickness of134m. For type B, the magnetic tape has a nominal thickness of94m.
