27、ons for Transportation 87Section 1 - General1ScopeThis ECMA Standard specifies the physical and magnetic characteristics of a 8 mm wide magnetic tapecartridge to enable physical interchange of such cartridges between drives. It also specifies the quality of therecorded signals, the recording method

28、and the recorded format, thereby allowing data interchange betweendrives by means of such magnetic tape cartridges.Information interchange between systems also requires, at a minimum, agreement between the interchangeparties upon the interchange code(s) and the specifications of the structure and la

30、erating a magnetic tape cartridge for interchange shall be entitled to claim conformance withthis ECMA Standard if all the recordings that it makes on a tape meet the mandatory requirements of thisECMA Standard. A claim of conformance shall state whether or not one or more registered compressionalgo

31、rithm(s) are implemented within the system to process data from the host prior to allocating data tophysical blocks.2.3 Receiving driveA system receiving a magnetic tape cartridge for interchange shall be entitled to claim conformance withthe ECMA Standard if it is able to handle any recording on th

32、is tape according to this ECMA Standard. Areceiving drive shall be able to recognize the use of a data compression algorithm and make the algorithmregistration number available to the host.3 ReferencesISO 527-1:1993 Plastics - Determination of tensile properties - Part 1: General principles.ISO 1302
