Foreword IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0 technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, govern- mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by the IS0 Council. They are approved in accordance with IS0 procedures requiring at least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting. International Standard IS0 5652 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 97, Information processing systems. IS0 5652 was first published in 1983. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, of which sub-clause B.3.2 of annex B has been technically revised. 0 International Organization for Standardization, 1984 Printed in Switzerland SIST EN 25652:1997

Magnetic labelling for use on magnetic tape is the subject of IS0 1001. The magnetic tape and reel to be used shall conform to IS0 1864. For the purpose of this International Standard, the following definitions apply. 31 . magnetic tape : A tape which will accept and retain magnetic signals intended for input, output and storage pur- poses on computers and associated equipment. NOTE - Numeric values in the SI and/or Imperial measurement system in this International Standard may have been rounded and therefore are consistent with, but not exactly equal to, each other. Either system may be used, but the two should be neither intermixed nor reconverted. The original design was made using the Imperial measurement system. 3.2 reference tape : A tape which has been selected for given properties for use in calibration. . 3.3 secondary reference tape : A tape intended for routine calibrating purposes whose performance is known and is stated in relation to that of a reference tape. 2 References IS0 646, Information processing - /SO 7-bit coded character set for information interchange.
