FOREWORD

1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising

all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international

co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and

in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,

Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their

preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with

may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising

with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for

Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.

2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international

consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all

interested IEC National Committees.

3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National

Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC

Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any

misinterpretation by any end user.

4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications

transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between

any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.

5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity

assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any

services carried out by independent certification bodies.

6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and

members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or

other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and

expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC

Publications.

8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is

indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent

rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

IEC 62702-1-1 has been prepared by technical area 6: Storage media, storage data structures,

storage systems and equipment, of IEC technical committee 100: Audio, video and multimedia

systems and equipment. It is an International Standard.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2016. This edition

constitutes a technical revision.

In order to reflect the updates to ISO/IEC 29121:2021, this edition includes the following

significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:

a) ISO/IEC 16963 has been identified as the referee test method for the estimation of lifetime;

b) the ambient conditions for the measurement of maximum data error have been added;

c) the requirements for test drives have been changed considering the use condition of users;

d) the requirements for the estimated lifetime have been defined more clearly;

e) the requirements for the periodic performance test have been defined more clearly.

INTRODUCTION

Sound recordings such as music, speech, and storytelling are an important human heritage and

should be preserved for as long as possible. However, we were not able to record sounds in

order to preserve them in the past. The first recording system, the phonautograph, was invented

by Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville in 1860 and, after that, Thomas Alva Edison invented the

recording and playback system known as the phonograph in 1877.

Although various technologies were invented later, most of them have limitations for audio

archives because storage lifetime is limited, and the sound quality deteriorates when it is

transferred to the next generation of storage device.

The progress of LSI (Large-Scale Integrated Circuit) technology made digital recording of

recorded sound possible. Digital recording is very suitable for audio archiving because the

migration is performed by copying digital data.

For this purpose, various recording materials exist, such as optical disks, magnetic disks,

magnetic tape, and non-volatile memory (such as phase-change memory).

This International Standard specifies physical and logical aspects for standards of audio

archives of various storage types which are typically used for audio archives on the market.

The IEC 62702 series currently consists of:

• Part 1 specifies the minimum requirements on physical aspects of optical disks for digital

sound recordings. Part 1-1 specifies DVD optical disks, and Part 1-2 specifies BD optical

disks.

NOTE DVD optical disks include DVD-R disk, DVD-RW disk, DVD-RAM disk and +R format disk, +RW format

disk. BD optical disks include BD recordable disk and BD rewritable disk.

• Part 2 specifies the minimum requirements for digitization of content, format of digitised

content, content information and media inspection.

4 Disk and lifetime for long-term audio data storage
4.1 Disk for long-term audio data storage

A disk with a specified lifetime should be used for long-term audio data storage. A disk with an

unspecified lifetime should not be used.
4.2 Lifetime estimation

For the purposes of this document, the lifetime of a disk shall be derived from the measurements

specified in ISO/IEC 16963. The Eyring method is used for lifetime estimation under controlled

storage conditions (25 °C and 50 % relative humidity).

In ISO/IEC 16963, the estimated lifetime can be defined variously as B life, B life and the

50 5

95 % lower confidence bound of B life [equals (B life) ], and described as follows.

5 5 L

4.3 B life for long-term audio data storage
mig

The estimated lifetime of B life means 5 % of the products reach failure. It is widely used in

other contexts. However, from the viewpoint of the reliability of long-term audio storage to retain

the integrity of the original data, it is not appropriate to use B life as the estimated lifetime

when determining a test interval and deciding on data migration.

In the case of audio data migration, it is necessary to have a sufficiently low failure probability.

The time at which one millionth of the products reach failure shall define, in this document, the

estimated lifetime to determine test intervals and the migration interval. B life is 0,000 001

0,000 1

quantile of the lifetime distribution (i.e. 0,000 1% failure time) and expressed as B life in this

mig
document. B life can be calculated using B life and B life as follows (see also

In actual storage conditions, the temperature and relative humidity can deviate from the

controlled storage condition of 25 °C and 50 % relative humidity, which changes the estimated

lifetime. In this case, the estimated lifetime should be adjusted according to the estimated

lifetime at the actual storage conditions, as specified in ISO/IEC 29121:2021, Annex D.

4.4 Estimated-lifetime rank and display colour
4.4.1 Estimated-lifetime rank and display colour identification

For audio data migration, rank of B life and its identifying display colour are defined as follows.

mig
B life is over 30 years, the display colour is red.
mig
B life is over 60 years, the display colour is green.
mig
B life is over 100 years, the display colour is gold.
