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 6243-1998) 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 H form a normative part of this International Standard. Annexes J to L are for information only.

Section 1 - General
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the mechanical, physical and optical characteristics of a 120 mm optical disk to enable
interchange of such disks. It specifies the quality of the recorded signals, the format of the data and the recording method,
thereby allowing for information interchange by means of such disks. The data can be written, read and overwritten many
times using the phase change method. This disk is identified as DVD-RAM.
This International Standard specifies
- two related but different Types of this disk (see clause 7),
- the conditions for conformance,
- the environments in which the disk is to be tested, operated and stored,
- the mechanical, physical and dimensional characteristics of the disk, so as to provide mechanical interchange between data
processing systems,
- the format of the information on the disk, including the physical disposition of the tracks and sectors, the error correcting
codes and the coding method,
- the characteristics of the signals recorded on the disk, thus enabling data processing systems to read the data from the disk.
This International Standard provides for the interchange of disks between optical disk drives. Together with a standard for
volume and file structure, it provides for full data interchange between data processing systems. The optical disks specified by
this International Standard may be enclosed in cases according to ISO/IEC 16825 as specified therein.
2 Conformance

4 Definitions
For the purposes of this International Standard, the following definitions apply.
The housing for an optical disk, that protects the disk and facilitates disk interchange.
4.1 Case:
1

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
ISO/IEC 16824:1999 (E)  ISO/IEC
4.2 Channel bit: The elements by which the binary values ZERO and ONE are represented by marks and pits on the
disk.
4.3 Digital Sum Value (DSV): The arithmetic sum obtained from a bit stream by allocating the decimal value 1 to
Channel bits set to ONE and the decimal value -1 to Channel bits set to ZERO.
4.4 Disk Reference Plane: A plane defined by the perfectly flat annular surface of an ideal spindle onto which the
clamping area of the disk is clamped, and which is normal to the axis of rotation.
4.5 Dummy substrate: A layer which may be transparent or not, provided for the mechanical support of the disk
and/or a recording layer.
4.6 Embossed mark: A mark so formed as to be unalterable by optical means.
4.7 Entrance surface: The surface of the disk onto which the optical beam first impinges.
4.8 Land and Groove: A trench-like feature of the disk, applied before the recording of any information, and used
to define the track location. The groove is located nearer to the entrance surface than the land. The recording is made either on
the centre of the groove or on the centre of the land.
4.9 Mark: A feature of the Recording layer which may take the form of an amorphous domain, a pit, or any other type
or form that can be sensed by the optical system. The pattern of marks and spaces represents the data on the disk.
4.10 Phase change: A physical effect by which the area of a recording layer irradiated by a laser beam is heated so as
to change from an amorphous state to a crystalline state and vice versa.
4.11 Polarization: The direction of polarization of an optical beam is the direction of the electric vector of the beam.
Note - The plane of polarization is the plane containing the electric vector and the direction of propagation of the beam. The polarization is right-handed
when to an observer looking in the direction of propagation of the beam, the end-point of the electric vector would appear to describe an ellipse in the
clockwise sense.
4.12 Recording layer: A layer of the disk on, or in, which data is written during manufacture and/or use.
4.13 Sector: The smallest addressable part of a track in the Information Zone of a disk that can be accessed
independently of other addressable parts.
4.14 Space: A feature of the recording layer which may take the form of a crystalline domain, a non-pit or any other
type or form that can be sensed by the optical system. The pattern of marks and spaces represents the data on the disk.
4.15 Substrate: A transparent layer of the disk, provided for mechanical support of the recorded layer(s), through
which the optical beam can access a recording layer.
4.16 Track: A 360° turn of a continuous spiral.
4.17 Track pitch: The distance between centrelines of adjacent tracks (a groove and a land), measured in a radial
direction.
4.18 ZCLV: A disk format requiring Zoned Constant Linear Velocity operations.
4.19 Zone: An annular area of the disk.
5 Conventions and notations
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.
Numbers in decimal notations are represented by the digits 0 to 9.
Numbers in hexadecimal notation are represented by the hexadecimal digits 0 to 9 and A to F in parentheses.
The setting of bits is denoted by ZERO and ONE.
Numbers in binary notations and bit patterns are represented by strings of digits 0 and 1, with the most significant bit shown to
the left.
Negative values of numbers in binary notation are given as Two’s complement.

In each field the data is recorded so that the most significant byte (MSB), identified as Byte 0, is recorded first and the least
significant byte (LSB) last.
In a field of 8n bits, bit b shall be the most significant bit (msb) and bit b the least significant bit (lsb). Bit b is
(8n-1) 0 (8n-1)
recorded first.
A binary digit which can be set indifferently to ZERO or to ONE is represented by “x”.
5.2 Names
The names of entities, e.g. specific tracks, fields, zones, etc. are given a capital initial.

7 General description of the optical disk
The optical disk that is the subject of this International Standard consists of two substrates bonded together by an adhesive
layer, so that the recording layer(s) is on the inside. The centring of the disk is performed on the edge of the centre hole of the
assembled disk on the side currently read. Clamping is performed in the Clamping Zone. This International Standard provides
for two Types of such disks.
Type 1S consists of a substrate, a single recording layer and a dummy substrate. The recording layer can be accessed
from one side only. The nominal capacity is 2,6 Gbytes.
Type 2S consists of two substrates and two recording layers. From one side of the disk, only one of these recording
layers can be accessed. The nominal capacity is 5,2 Gbytes.
Alternatively, in Type 1S, the recording layer may be placed, for instance embossed, on the dummy substrate.
When used with the case specified in International Standard ISO/IEC 16825, a disk of Type 1S may be enclosed in either of
the three case Types; a disk of Type 2S is to be enclosed only in a Type 1 case.
Data can be written onto the disk as marks in the form of amorphous spots in the crystalline recording layer and can be
overwritten with a focused optical beam, using the phase change effect between amorphous and crystalline states. The data can
be read with a focused optical beam, using phase change effect as the reflective difference between amorphous and crystalline
states. The beam accesses the recording layer through a transparent substrate of the disk.
Part of the disk contains read-only data for the drive in the form of pits embossed by the manufacturer. This data can be read
using the diffraction of the optical beam by the embossed pits.
Figure 1 shows schematically the two Types.

Section 2 - Dimensional, mechanical and physical characteristics of the disk
10 Dimensional characteristics
Dimensional characteristics are specified for those parameters deemed mandatory for interchange and compatible use of the
disk. Where there is freedom of design, only the functional characteristics of the elements described are indicated. The
enclosed drawings show the dimensional requirements in summarized form. The different parts of the disk are described from
the centre hole to the outside rim.
The dimensions are referred to two Reference Planes P and Q.
Reference Plane P is the primary Reference Plane. It is the plane on which the bottom surface of the Clamping Zone (see 10.4)
rests.
Reference Plane Q is the plane parallel to Reference Plane P at the height of the top surface of the Clamping Zone.
See figures 5 to 7.
