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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
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 International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO/IEC 7813 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information
technology, Subcommittee SC 17, Identification cards and related devices.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition (ISO/IEC 7813:1995), which has been technically revised.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/IEC 7813:2001(E)
Identification cards — Financial transaction cards
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the physical characteristics, data structure and data content of ID-1 type cards
used in financial transactions. It takes into consideration both human and machine aspects and states minimum
requirements of conformity. It references layout, recording techniques, numbering systems, registration procedures,
but not security requirements.
ISO/IEC 10373 specifies the test procedures used to check cards against the parameters specified in this
International Standard.
2 Conformance
A financial transaction card is in conformance with this International Standard if it meets all mandatory
requirements specified herein.
A prerequisite for conformance with this International Standard is conformance with ISO 4909, ISO/IEC 7810,
ISO/IEC 7811, ISO/IEC 7812, ISO/IEC 7816 - parts 1 to 6, ISO 9992, ISO/IEC 10536, ISO/IEC 14443 and
ISO/IEC 15693, where appropriate.
