Specifies the characteristics of a 300 mm optical disk cartridge (ODC) of Type WORM (Write Once Read Many) using irreversible effects, with a capacity of 30 Gbytes. This WORM ODC's uses writing effects that are inherently irreversible. Written marks cannot be erased and attempted modifications of the written marks are detectable.
