Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are
members of ISO 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. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the
work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee,
ISO/IEC JTC 1.

Introduction
This part of ISO/IEC 11695 is one of a series of International Standards defining the parameters for
optical holographic memory cards and the use of such cards for the storage and interchange of digital
data.
These International Standards recognize the existence of different methods for recording and reading
Information on optical memory cards, the characteristics of which are specific to the recording method
employed. In general, these different recording methods will not be compatible with each other.
Therefore, these Internationalthe Standards are structured to accommodate the inclusion of existing
and future recording methods in a consistent manner.
This part of ISO/IEC 11695 is specific to optical memory cards using the holographic recording method.
Characteristics which apply to other specific recording methods are found in separate International
StandardsStandards documents.
This part of ISO/IEC 11695 defines the physical characteristics and the extent of compliance with,
addition to, and/or deviation from the relevant base document, ISO/IEC 11693-1.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) draw attention to the fact that it is claimed that compliance with this document may involve the
use of patents.
The ISO and IEC take no position concerning the evidence, validity and scope of these patent rights.
The holders of these patent rights have assuredensured the ISO and IEC that they are willing to negotiate
licenses under reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions with applicants throughout the
world. In this respect, the Statements of the holders of these patent rights are registered with the ISO
and IEC. Information may be obtained from:
