BSI BS ISO/IEC 11557:1992

This International Standard specifies the physical and magnetic characteristics of a 3,81 mm wide magnetic tape cartridge to enable interchangeability of such cartridges. It also specifies the quality of the recorded signal, the recording method and the recorded format, thereby allowing data interchange between drives by means of such magnetic tape cartridges.

This International Standard specifies two types of cartridge which, for the purpose of this International Standard, are referred to as Type A and Type B.

For Type A, the magnetic tape is nominally 13 ÎĽm thick and has a length of up to 60,5 m.

For Type B, the magnetic tape is nominally 9 ÎĽm thick and has a length of up to 92,0 m.

The recorded format, known as Digital Data Storage - Data Compression (DDS-DC), includes all the features of the DDS recorded format specified in ISO/IEC 10777, with additional features which support the recording of data which has been processed, by the generating system, after receipt from the host and prior to recording. Such features are intended for, but are not limited to, the support of one or more data compression Algorithms.

Information interchange between systems by means of this International Standard also requires the use, at a minimum, of a labelling and file structure, an interchange code and a Processing Algorithm which are agreed upon by the interchange parties. It is not within the scope of this International Standard to specify the labelling and file structure, the interchange code or the Processing Algorithm.
