Identification cards — Recording technique — Part 3: Location of embossed characters on ID-1 cards

This part of 1S0/IEC 7811 specifies the location of embossed characters on identification cards of ID-1 size, the dimensions of which are specified in ISO/IEC 7810. The embossed characters are intended for transfer of data either by use of imprinters or by visual or machine reading. IS0/IEC 10373 specifies the test procedures used to check cards against the parameters specified in this part of IS0/IEC 7811. This part of ISO/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 measure­ment 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.

Cartes d'identification — Technique d'enregistrement — Partie 3: Position des caractères estampés sur les cartes ID-1

La présente partie de l'ISO/CEI 7811 spécifie la position des caractères estampés sur les cartes d'identification de format ID-1, dont les dimensions sont spécifiées dans l'ISO/CEI 7810. Les caractères estampés sont destinés au transfert de données soit à l'aide de machines à empreintes, soit par lecture visuelle ou par machine. L'ISO/CEI 10373 spécifie les modes opératoires utilisés pour la vérification des cartes en fonction des spécifications définies dans la présente partie de l'ISO/CEI 7811. La présente partie de l'ISO/CEI 7811 spécifie les prescriptions des cartes utilisées pour l'identification. Elle tient compte des aspects humains et des aspects machine et elle fixe des prescriptions minimales. NOTE -- Certaines valeurs numériques exprimées en unités du système international (SI) et/ou en unités anglo-saxonnes ont pu être arrondies dans la présente partie de l'ISO/CEI 7811. Elles sont alors cohérentes entre elles, mais non strictement égales. L'un ou l'autre système peut être utilisé, mais les deux ne doivent pas être utilisés conjointement, ni reconvertis. La présente partie de l'ISO/CEI 7811 a été conçue en faisant usage du système d'unités anglo-saxon.

Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the
International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for
worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of IS0 or
IEC participate in the development of International Standards through
technical committees established by the respective organization to deal
with particular fields of technical activity. IS0 and IEC technical com-
mittees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organ-
izations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with IS0 and IEC,
also take part in the work.
In the field of information technology, IS0 and IEC have established a joint
technical committee, lSO/IEC JTC 1. Draft international Standards adopted
by the joint technical committee are circulated to the member bodies for
voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at
least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
International Standard lSO/IEC 781 l-3 was prepared by Joint Technical
Committee lSO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 17,
Identification cards and related devices.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition
(IS0 7811-3:1985), of which it constitutes a technical revision.
