ISO/IEC 13346-2: 1995(E) OISO/IEC
Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the
specialised system for worldwide Standardisation. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the
development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective Organisation to deal with
particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in Felds of mutual interest. Other
international organisations, govemmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in this work.
In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISOLIEC JTC 1. Draft
International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication of
an International Standard requires approval by at least 75% of the national bodies casting a vote.
International Standard ISO/IEC 13346 was prepared by the European Association for Standardizing Information and
Communication Systems, ECMA, (as Standard ECMA-167) and was adopted, under a special “fast-track procedure ”, by Joint
Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, in parallel with its approval by National Bodies of ISO and
IEC.

OISO/IEC ISO/IEC 13346-2: 1995(E)
Introduction
ISO/IEC 13346 is a volume and file structure Standard for interchanging files and as such, it is a peer to existing volume and
file structure Standards such as ISO 9293 and ISO 9660. It is rather different from those Standards in at least two important
ways. Firstly, it offers much more fimctionality, mainly because of user needs for increased Character set support and for more
powerful file system features. Secondly, it acknowledges the separate concems of booting, volume structure and file system
structure. Rather than bundling these different functions together, ISOLIEC 13346 carefully Segregates these functions into
separate Parts and describes in detail how those Parts fit together. It is expected that future volume and file structure
Standards will fit into this framework, rather than building other distinct and incompatible formats.
ISO/lEC 13346 is published in five Parts. Part 1 - general - specifies references, definitions, notations and basic structures
used in the other four Parts, This Part of ISO/IEC 13346 - volume and boot block recognition - specifies formats and system
requirements for recognising the volume structures on a medium and booting from a medium. Part 3 - volume structure -
specifies how to record various volume-related entities such as volumes, volume sets and logical volumes. Part 4 - file
structure - specifies how to record and interpret files, both file data and file attributes, and file hierarchies within logical
volumes. Part 5 - record structure - specifies how to record and interpret file data encoded as records.
