ISO/IEC 23651:2003规定了包含存储芯片的8mm宽盒式磁带的物理和磁特性，以便在驱动器之间实现这种盒式磁带的物理交换。它还规定了记录信号的质量、记录方法和记录格式（称为高级智能磁带3号（AIT-3格式）），从而允许通过这种盒式磁带在驱动器之间进行数据交换。 ISO/IEC 23651:2003根据盒式磁带的厚度规定了两种盒式磁带。 系统间的信息交换至少还需要交换双方就交换代码、交换墨盒上信息的结构和标签规范达成一致。

ISO/IEC 23651:2003 specifies the physical and magnetic characteristics of an 8 mm wide magnetic tape cartridge containing a memory chip to enable physical interchange of such cartridges between drives. It also specifies the quality of the recorded signals, the recording method and the recorded format - called Advanced Intelligent Tape No. 3 (AIT-3 format) - thereby allowing data interchange between drives by means of such magnetic tape cartridges. ISO/IEC 23651:2003 specifies two types of cartridge depending on the thickness of the magnetic tape contained in the case. Information interchange between systems also requires, at a minimum, agreement between the interchange parties upon the interchange code(s) and the specifications of the structure and labelling of the information on the interchanged cartridge.
