PUBLISH DATE 1994
BSI BS ISO/IEC 12248:1993

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 signals, the recorded format and the recording method, thereby allowing data interchange between drives by means of such magnetic tape cartridges. The format 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 μm and a nominal length of up to 60,5 m.

For Type B, the magnetic tape has a nominal thickness of 9 μm 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. It is not within the scope of this International Standard to specify the labelling and file structure, or the interchange code.
