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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. Draft
International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
This International Standard was prepared by JISC (as Standard JIS X 6244-1998) with document support and contribution
from ECMA 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.
Annexes A to C form a normative part of this International Standard. Annexes D and E are for information only.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD  ISO/IEC ISO/IEC 16825:1999 (E)
Information technology — Case for 120 mm DVD-RAM disks
Section 1 - General
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the characteristics of a case for use with 120 mm DVD-RAM disks as specified in
ISO/IEC 16824. This International Standard specifies three related, but different implementations of such cases, viz.
Type 1 Provides a case for a one-sided (Type 1S) or a two-sided (Type 2S) DVD-RAM disk such that the disk can
not be removed from the case. This case is reversible.
Type 2 Provides a case for a one-sided DVD-RAM disk (Type 1S) such that the disk may be removed from the
case. This case is not reversible.
Type 3 Provides a case into which a one-sided DVD-RAM disk (Type 1S) may be inserted, then used as a
cartridge. This case is not reversible.
This International Standard specifies
- the environments in which the cases are to be operated and stored;
- the dimensional and mechanical characteristics of the case, so as to provide mechanical interchangeability between data
processing systems;
This International Standard provides for mechanical interchange between optical disk drives. Together with 120 mm
DVD-RAM disks according to ISO/IEC 16824 and a standard for volume and file structure, it provides for full data
interchange between data processing systems.
2 Conformance
A claim of conformance with this International Standard shall specify the Type implemented. A case shall be in conformance
with this International Standard if it meets the mandatory requirements specified herein for its Type.
3 Normative references
The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this
International Standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications do not
apply. However, parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of
applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undated references, the latest edition of the
normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.

5.1 Representation of numbers
A measured value is rounded off to the least significant digit of the corresponding specified value. For instance, it implies that
a specified value of 1,26 with a positive tolerance of + 0,01 and a negative tolerance of - 0,02 allows a range of measured
values from 1,235 to 1,275.

5.2 Names
The names of entities, e.g. specific sides, etc. are given a capital initial.
6 General description of the case
6.1 General description of the Type 1 case (Figure 1)
The case is a rigid protective container of rectangular shape. Sides A and B of the case are identical as far as the features given
here are concerned. References to Sides A and B of the case can be changed to B or A respectively. When the opening of the
one is a head and spindle window for the spindle and the optical head of the drive, that of the other is an access window for the
disk clamping apparatus. A shutter uncovers the windows upon insertion into the drive, and automatically covers them upon
removal from the drive. The case has features that enable a drive to reject a mis-inserted cartridge, to inhibit writing, sensor
holes, detents for autoloading and a vertical use, gripper slots for an autochanger, label areas and side identification marks.
Sides A and B of the case have the same configuration.
6.2 General description of the Type 2 case (Figure 2)
The Type 2 case has the same features as the Type 1 case, but with some differences. The shape of the case is different on Side
A and on Side B. Side A does not need to have a location hole, an alignment hole, Reference Surfaces, a write-inhibit hole,
sensor holes and sensing areas. The case has an opening closed by a cover. This cover can be opened. In open position, the
disk can be taken out of the case. Sensor hole A1 is originally closed. When the disk has been removed from the case, then this
hole remains permanently open, indicating that the original disk contained in the case has been removed at least once or has
been replaced by another disk.
6.3 General description of the Type 3 case (Figure 2)
The Type 3 case is identical with Type 2 case except that the sensor hole A1 is always open.
