28 - Amendment No.2 to Publication 94-3 (1979)

Applies to recording and reproducing equipment for sound on magnetic tape (reel-to-reel, cassette and cartridge) for both professional and domestic applications. It does not apply to special purpose equipment such as high speed duplicators, artificial reverberation recorders or dictation machines. This Standard is identical with and has been reproduced from IEC 94-3:1979, including Amendment 1:1980 and Amendment 2:1988.

This standard applies to recording and reproducing equipment for sound on magnetic tape (reel-to-reel, cassette and cartridge) for both professional and domestic applications, and will be referred to as "equipment" throughout this standard.This standard does not apply to special purpose equipment such as high speed duplicators, artificial reverberation recorders or dictation machines not employing the reel-to-reel, cassette or cartridge principle. This standard excludes all aspects of safety, which are to be found in IEC Publication 65, Safety Requirements for Mains Operated Electronic and Related Apparatus for Household and Similar General Use. It also excludes magnetic tape properties, which are to be found in IEC Publications 94-4 and 94-5 (in preparation).
