ISO/IEC 931th4 :1990 (E) Foreword IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardiz- ation. National bodies that are members of IS0 or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. IS0 and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with IS0 and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, IS0 and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO/IEC 9318-4 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology. ISO/IEC 93 18 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology - In telligen t Periphera I Interface : - Part I: Physical level Part 2: Device specific command set for magnetic disk drives Part 3: Device generic command set for magnetic and optical disk drives Part 4: Device generic command set for magnetic tape drives Annex A form
