Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of
ISO 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. ISO and IEC
technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information
technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as
an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national 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 and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/IEC 7812-1 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology,
Subcommittee SC 17, Cards and personal identification.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO/IEC 7812-1:2006), which has been technically
revised.
ISO/IEC 7812 consists of the following parts, under the general title Identification cards — Identification of
issuers:
 Part 1: Numbering system
 Part 2: Application and registration procedures

Introduction
This part of ISO/IEC 7812 is one of a series of International Standards describing the parameters for
card issuers for operation within an interchange environment. Card issuers not operating in an interchange
environment are encouraged to contact their sponsoring authorities for a number assigned by that
national standards body. Use of a national IIN will avoid conflicts if the cards are unintentionally used in an
interchange environment.
