ISO 20302:2006 is designed to confirm, via a numbering system and registration procedure, the identities of both the healthcare application provider and the health card holder in order that information may be exchanged by using cards issued for healthcare service. ISO 20302:2006 focuses on the machine-readable cards of ID-1 type defined in ISO/IEC 7810 that are issued for healthcare services provided in a service area that crosses the national borders of two or more countries/areas. ISO 20302:2006 applies to healthcare data cards where the issuer and the application provider are the same party. ISO 20302:2006 applies directly, or refers, to existing ISO standards for physical characteristics and recording techniques. Security issues follow the requirements of each healthcare data card system. In addition, this International Standard regulates the visual information written on the healthcare data card.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 20302 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 215, Health informatics.

Introduction
This International Standard describes a numbering system and registration procedure for issue identifiers of
machine-readable cards used in the field of healthcare.
The purpose of using machine-readable cards in the field of healthcare is to improve the quality of the health
service and increase the efficient use of healthcare resources in the field. The primary consideration in
creating this International Standard has been to improve patient service and patient safety, as well as improve
the practical use of healthcare data cards in clinical fields.
The main policy of this International Standard is as follows.
1) ISO/TC215 has agreed to exempt the following items from standardization efforts:
⎯ standardizing the clinical practice of medicine and
⎯ defining a standardized healthcare delivery service structure.
In past years healthcare data cards have been used to exchange healthcare data by placing necessary and
appropriate information on the surface of the cards in order to implement the health service of each country.
However, as people now move more frequently across borders, healthcare data cards issued in one country
or area are increasingly being used in another, and with this consideration in mind this International Standard
has been designed to apply to healthcare data cards that will be used internationally.
2) This International Standard is applicable to healthcare data cards used for healthcare services
provided by the card issuer. Not only ISO/TC 215, but also ISO/IEC JTC1/SC17 should discuss the
standardization of the characteristics and operation of other cards, which are not covered by this
International Standard.
3) This International Standard is designed to accept relevant technologies and recording techniques for
healthcare data cards.
The data elements and data structures in healthcare data cards are under consideration within
ISO/TC 215/WG 5.

Health informatics — Health cards — Numbering system and
registration procedure for issuer identifiers
1 Scope
This International Standard is designed to confirm, via a numbering system and registration procedure, the
identities of both the healthcare application provider and the health card holder in order that information may
be exchanged by using cards issued for healthcare service.
This International Standard focuses on the machine-readable cards of ID-1 type defined in ISO/IEC 7810 that
are issued for healthcare services provided in a service area that crosses the national borders of two or more
countries/areas.
This International Standard applies to healthcare data cards where the issuer and the application provider are
the same party.
This International Standard applies directly, or refers, to existing ISO standards for physical characteristics
and recording techniques. Security issues follow the requirements of each healthcare data card system.
In addition, this International Standard regulates the visual information written on the healthcare data card.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
card issuer
entity that records the information to activate the card and registers and distributes it to the healthcard holder
EXAMPLE A hospital could be a card issuer of cards for handling appointments for medical treatment or for
accessing medical records. A health funding agency could be a card issuer of cards for health funding.
3.2
healthcare application provider
entity that provides healthcare services to the healthcard holder and in doing so, makes use of the card and
records the healthcare application information on to the card
EXAMPLE A hospital could be a healthcare application provider by handling appointments for medical treatment or
by providing access control to medical records. A health funding agency could be a healthcare application provider by
