have ECMA equivalents (ISO9660 is a definite example).
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.
Many of the ISO standards are just the nationally-approved copies of the
ECMA standards. As has been pointed out, they're not all available online,
but they will supply hardcopy free -- it just takes several weeks to get
them :-) Or you can order the ECMA CD-ROM, which has most of the
standards, including many that are not online.
