This standard provides the requirements for a tape cartridge to be used for information interchange amonginformation-processing systems, communication systems, and associated equipment utilizing a standardcode for information interchange as agreed upon by the interchange parties. This standard deals with therequirements for the unrecorded cartridge and for recording on the enclosed magnetic tape.
The use of a labeling standard such as American National Standard for Information systems – File structure and labeling of magnetic tapes for information interchange, ANSI X3.27-1987 (R1993) or later editions, will support data interchange between data-processing systems.
This standard defines the requirements and supporting test methods necessary to ensure informationinterchange at acceptable performance levels. It is distinct from a specification in that it delineates aminimum of restrictions consistent with compatibility in interchange transactions.
The performance level contained in this standard represents the minimum acceptable levels of performancefor interchange purposes. They, therefore, represent the performance levels that the interchange itemsshould meet or surpass during their useful life and thus define end-of-life criteria for interchange purposes.The performance levels in this standard are not intended to be employed as substitutes for purchasespecifications.
Wherever feasible, quantitative performance levels that shall be met or exceeded to comply with thisstandard are given. In all cases, including those in which quantitative limits for requirements falling within thescope of this standard are not stated but left to agreement between the interchange parties, standard testmethods and measurement procedures shall be used to determine such limits.
The interchange parties complying with the applicable standards should be able to achieve compatibilitywithout the need for additional exchange of technical information.
