INTERNATIONAL STANDARD @ lSO/IEC ISO/IEC 7811=2:1995(E) Identification cards - Recording technique - Part 2: Magnetic stripe 1 Scope This part of lSO/IEC 7811 specifies characteristics for a magnetic stripe (including any protective overlay) on an identification card, the encoding technique and coded character sets. The magnetic recordings are intended for machine reading. lSO/IEC 10373 specifies the test procedures used to check cards against the parameters specified in this part of lSO/IEC 7811. This part of lSO/IEC 7811 specifies the requirements for cards used for identification. It takes into consideration both human and machine aspects and states minimum requirements. NOTE - Numeric values in the SI and/or Imperial measure- ment system in this part of ISO/IEC 7811 may have been rounded off and therefore are consistent with, but not exactly equal to, each other. Either system may be used, but the two should not be intermixed or reconverted. The original design was made using the Imperial measurement system. 2 Conformance An identification card is in conformance with this part of lSO/IEC 7811 if it meets all mandatory require- ments specified herein. A prerequisite for conformance with this part of lSO/IEC 7811 is conformance with lSO/IEC 7810. 3 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of lSO/IEC 7811. At the time of publication the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision and parties to agreements based on this part of lSO/IEC 7811 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards indicated below. Members of IEC and IS0 maintain registers of currently valid International Standards. lSO/lEC 7810:1995, Identification cards - Physical characteristics. lSO/IEC 781 I-411995, Identification cards - Record- ing technique - Part 4: Location of read-only magnetic tracks - Tracks I and 2. lSO/lEC 781 I-59 995, identification cards - Record- ing technique - Part 5: Location of read-write magnetic track - Track 3. lSO/lEC 10373:1993, Identification cards - Test methods. 4 Definitions For the purposes of this part of lSO/IEC 7811, the de- finition of “identification card” given in lSO/IEC 7810 and the following definition apply. 4.1 primary standard: The primary standard is based on the Master Standard Reference Tape (computer amplitude reference) established by the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). NOTE - The relationship between the Master Standard Reference Tape and secondary reference tapes SRM 3200 is stated on the NIST certificate. SIST EN ISO/IEC 7811-2:1997



ISO/IEC 7811=2:1995(E) 0 lSO/IEC For the purposes of this part of lSO/IEC 7811, reference cards RM 7811-Z batch C equipped with SRM 3200 No. 18-67B are considered as primary standards defining not only the average signal amplitude at 8 flux transitions per mm (certified by NIST) but also that at 20 flux transitions per mm. A group of such reference cards is held Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB represent this primary standard. 4.2 secondary standard (reference Identification card with defined propertic at the . They card): s and equipped with a SRM 3200 or equivalent tape, the properties of which are known and stated in relation to the primary standard. It is intended that reference cards be used for the calibration of tertiary standards for use in routine calibration. NOTE - Reference cards, Part No. RM 781 l/2 Batch D, can be ordered from Physikalisch-Technische Bundes- anstalt, Lab. 1.41 - Bundesallee 100, D-381 16 Braun- schweig, Germany, as long as supplies are available (probably from 1995 to 2001). 4.3 unused un-encoded card: Card possessing all components required for its intended purpose, which has not been subjected to any personalization or testing operation. The card has been stored in a clean environment without more than 48 hour exposure to day-light at temperatures between 5 OC to 30 OC (41 OF to 86 OF) and humidity between 10 % to 90 % without experiencing thermal shock. 4.4 unused encoded card: Unused, unencoded card according to 4.3 which has only been encoded with all the data required for its intended purpose (e.g. magnetic encoding, embossing, electronic encoding). The environmental conditions in which the unused encoded card experiences are to be the same as for the unused un-encoded card. 4.5 returned card: Embossed and/or encoded card after it has been issued to the card holder and returned for the purpose of testing. 4.6 flux transition: Location of the maximum magnetic flux component normal to the surface of the magnetic stripe. 4.7 reference current (1~): Minimum recorded current amplitude which causes on the reference card, under the given test conditions, a readback voltage amplitude equal to 80 % of the reference signal amplitude &, (see figure 5) at a density of 8 flux transitions per mm (200 flux transitions per in). 4.8 test recording currents: Two test recording currents at 350 % (Imin) and 500 % (Zmax) of the reference current (1~) shall be used. Zmin = 3,5 1~; Z max = 5,o ZR- 4.9 individual signal amplitude (Ui): Base-to-peak amplitude of a single readback voltage signal. 4.10 average signal amplitude (&$ Average signal amplitude (UA) is the sum of the absolute value of the amplitude of each signal peak (6) divided by the number of signal peaks (n). n Cl I ‘ik UA &=I n 4.11 reference signal amplitude (UR): Maximum average signal amplitude of the reference card corrected to the primary standard. 4.12 physical recording density: Number of flux transitions recorded on a track per unit length. NOTE - When testing with densities of 6 flux transitions per mm (I 50 flux transitions per in) and 16,6 flux transitions per mm (420 flux transitions per in) the correlation factors are: UA at 6 flux transitions per mm (150 flux transitions per in) l 100 = 100 % UA at 8 flux transitions per mm (200 flux transitions per in) UA at 16,6 flux transitions per mm (420 flux transitions per in) l 100=105% &.j at 20 flux transitions per mm (500 flux transitions per in) 4.13 bit density: Number of data bits stored per unit of length (bits per mm or bits per in). 4.14 bit cell: Distance between two clocking flux transitions 4.15 sub interval: Bit cell divided by two.

@ lSO/IEC 5 Physical characteristics of the identification card The identification card shall conform to the specifications given in lSO/IEC 7810. WARNING - The attention of card issuers is drawn to the fact that information held on the magnetic stripe may be rendered ineffective through contamination by contact with dirt and certain commonly used chemicals including plasticizers. Exposure of the card to an intense magnetic field is likely to destroy the recorded data. It should also be noted that any printing or screening placed on top of the magnetic stripe must not impair the function of the magnetic stripe. 6 Physical characteristics of the magnetic stripe 6.1 Height and surface profile of magnetic stripe 6.1.1 Surface profile of magnetic stripe The transverse surface profile of the magnetic stripe area shall not show a vertical deviation (a) of more than: ISO/IEC 7811=2:1995(E) a < 9,5 pm (375 pin) W= 6,35 mm (0,25 in) for the minimum stripe width a < 15,4 pm (607 pin) for the minimum stripe width WI IO,28 mm (0,405 in) and - 4 a/W < Slope c 4 a/w. When the bending stiffness of the card is less than 20 mm (0,79 in) the vertical deviation (a) shall be: a < 6,7 pm (263 pin) WL 6,35 mm (0,25 in) for the minimum stripe width a < 12 pm (472 pin) for the minimum stripe width W: IO,28 mm (0,405 in) See figures 1, 2 and 3. 6.1.2 Height of the magnetic stripe area The vertical deviation (h) of the magnetic stripe area shown in figures 1 and 2 above the adjacent surface of the card shall be: - 0,005 mm (- 200 pin) 5 h 5 0,038 mm (1 500 pin) Spiking in the profile caused by the material “squirt out” in hot stamping is not part of the stripe. It shall not extend above the magnetic stripe area height h as defined above. - c- u .- 3 iii .- L t tn U .- t i! ET E 5 E .- .- ; 82,55 (3,250) min.
