I'd disagree - it certainly *is* on topic. The standards used to produce
magnetic and other computer media are of extreme interest to me, both
professionally and otherwise :-).

It looks to me like ECMA-13, "File Structure and Labelling of Magnetic
Tapes for Information Interchange", may be the equivalent.

ECMA-13 isn't available electronically, but it does indeed seem to be
the case that they will provide hardcopy free of charge.
