Information technology — Digitally recorded media for information interchange and storage — Quality discrimination method for optical disks and operating method of storage systems for long-term data preservation
This document specifies a quality discrimination method for optical disks and the operating method of storage systems for long-term digital data preservation using optical disks and optical disk drives (hereinafter referred to as "drives").
It is applicable to recordable (write-once) optical disks which can prevent physical overwriting and deletion by erroneous or intentional operation in contexts where greater importance is given to evidence. It is also applicable to read-only (ROM) optical disks.
This document specifies:
— combinations of recordable optical disks and drives used for long-term data preservation;
— quality discrimination criteria for recordable optical disks and the operation method of long-term storage systems;
— a quality test for read-only optical disks and the operation method of long-term storage systems;
— quality discrimination criteria for BD recordable disks when adopting defect management.

Frequently Asked Questions about ISO/IEC 18630:2023
When you purchase a standard from the Austrian Standards webshop (e.g. ÖNORM, ISO), a single-user licence is included as standard. This entitles a single person to use the standard. A multi-user licence is required if several employees need access. It enables company-wide, legally compliant use and sharing of standards.
Standardization thrives on expertise and participation. Anyone interested can play an active role in its further development – for example, by joining the relevant committee or a working group. In this way, you can help shape the content and contribute to advancing the state of the art.
If you have an extensive portfolio of standards, we recommend using a professional standards management tool. With effects 2.0, you can manage your standards centrally and efficiently. You can optimise your procurement processes and benefit from an integrated information and subscription service. This ensures you are always up to date and never miss any relevant developments.
