NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Second Revision) which is identical with ISO/IEC 1001 : 2012 ‘Information technology - File structure and labelling of magnetic tapes for information interchange’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) jointly was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Computer Hardware, Peripherals and Identification Cards Sectional Committee and approval of the Electronics and Information Technology Division Council.

IS 11419 was originally published in 1985 and was identical to ISO 1001 : 1979. The standard was revised in 1992 based on ISO 1001 : 1986. This standard is now again being revised to align it with the latest edition of ISO/IEC 1001 : 2012.

The text of IEC Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are however not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appears referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
