ANALOGUE AUDIO DISK RECORDS AND REPRODUCING EQUIPMENT

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.
International Standard IEC 60098 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 100: Audio,
video and multimedia systems and equipment.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 1987. This edition
constitutes a full revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) addition of a tolerance on groove width.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
CDV Report on voting

4.1 Scales for graphical presentation of data
Linear or logarithmic scales are recommended for graphical presentation. Linear decibel
scales are equivalent to logarithmic scales. Other kinds of scale, such as double logarithmic,
should be avoided. When using decibel scales, the zero reference should, if possible, be the
rated value. In those cases, where each of the scales refers directly to physical units, it is
recommended to avoid a combination of linear and logarithmic scales.
Where quantities represented by the axes are of the same kind, it is recommended that the
same unit length be used for both.

1 Explanation (not to form part of the publication)
2 IEC (600)98 3rd Edition was published in 1987 and is a stabilized standard that does not
3 undergo routine review. However, a valid proposal for a technical change has been received,
4 which automatically revokes the stabilized status and initiates the normal maintenance
5 procedure.
6 The current edition is not available in digital form, except as a scanned image, so it has been
7 agreed that a full revision should be undertaken to produce a fourth, fully digitized edition,
8 conforming to current ISO/IEC Directives and editorial rules, and fully updating the text,
9 without unintended technical changes. Definitions have been updated to refer directly to IEV
10 806. There are, of course, very numerous editorial changes.
11 The Figures are not yet converted to digital form. This will be done before publication.
12 Rotation speed has been excluded from the Figure titles because it is not relevant to the
13 dimensions.
14 The definition of 'rated value' has been aligned with the IEV. [There is a historical reason for
15 the former unique definition, which no longer applies.]
16 The lists of test records that were in in Annexes A, C and D in the previous edition, are out
17 of-date and are not included. National Committees are encouraged to submit details of such
18 test records that are now available.

155 ANALOGUE AUDIO DISK RECORDS AND REPRODUCING EQUIPMENT
156
157 FOREWORD
158 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
159 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
160 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in
161 addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
162 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
163 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
164 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations
165 liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International
166 Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two
167 organizations.
168 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
169 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
170 interested IEC National Committees.
171 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
172 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
173 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
174 misinterpretation by any end user.
175 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
176 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
177 between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
178 the latter.
179 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
180 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
181 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
182 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
183 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
184 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
185 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
186 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
187 Publications.
188 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
189 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
190 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
191 patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
192 International Standard IEC 60098 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 100: Audio,
193 video and multimedia systems and equipment.
194 This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 1987. This edition
195 constitutes a full revision.
196 This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
197 edition:
198 – addition of a tolerance on groove width
199 The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
100/XX/FDIS 100/XX/RVD
200 Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in
201 the report on voting indicated in the above table.
202 This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

214 1 Scope
215 This standard applies to analogue audio disk records and the corresponding
216 professional and domestic reproducing equipment. It excludes amplifiers and
217 loudspeakers, methods of measurement for which can be found in IEC 60268-3,IEC 60268-
218 5, IEC 60268-21 and IEC 60268-22 (in preparation) respectively.
219 This standard specifies the characteristics which are necessary to ensure compatibility
220 between analogue audio disk records and the corresponding reproducing equipment.
221 It also lists and defines the most important characteristics affecting the performance of
222 reproducing equipment, and establishes agreed methods of measurement for these
223 characteristics

256 4 General
257 4.1 Scales for graphical presentation of data
258 Linear or logarithmic scales are recommended for graphical presentation. Linear decibel
259 scales are equivalent to logarithmic scales. Other kinds of scale, such as double
260 logarithmic, should be avoided. When using decibel scales, the zero reference should, if
261 possible, be the rated value. In those cases, where each of the scales refers directly to
262 physical units, it is recommended to avoid a combination of linear and logarithmic scales.
263 Where quantities represented by the axes are of the same kind, it is recommended that the same
264 unit length be used for both.
265 Linear scales with remote zero point should be avoided as far as possible. For further
266 information see IEC 60263.
267 4.2 Scales for frequency characteristics
268 Graphs should be drawn with frequency in Hz on the x-axis with a logarithmic scale, and the
269 level expressed in dB on the y-axis with a linear scale. The scale ratio should be such that
270 the length representing one decade of frequency is the same as the length representing
271 25 dB or 50 dB difference in level. The preferred length per decade is 50 mm. If the
272 size of the graph is changed, the scale ratio should be left unaltered.
273 5 The disk
