scope:
This International Standard defines the implementation of the ISO 7-bit and 8-bit coded character sets on punched cards. It specifies the representation of 7-bit combinations and 8-bit combinations on 12-row punched cards. This representation is derived from, and compatible with, the code known as the "Hollerith Code". It will ensure compatibility with a large proportion of existing punched card files.
