ISO/IEC 7816-6:2016

Identification cards — Integrated circuit cards — Part 6: Interindustry data elements for interchange

ISO/IEC 7816-6:2016 specifies directly or by reference, data elements, including composite data elements that may be used in interindustry interchange. It identifies the following characteristics of each data element: - identifier; - name; - description and reference; - format and coding (if not available in other ISO standards or parts of ISO/IEC 7816). The layout of each data element is described as seen at the interface between the interface device and the card. It provides the definition of data elements without consideration of any restrictions on the usage of the data elements. It does not cover the internal implementation within the card and/or the outside world. With the exception of login data objects (6.5), only application class tags are eligible in ISO/IEC 7816-6:2016. When using an interindustry template, an application is allowed to nest context-specific class tags (see ISO/IEC 7816‑4) under such a template unless it is previously marked as Reserved for Future Use ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 17.

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.

Introduction
ISO/IEC 7816 is a series of International Standards specifying integrated circuit cards and the use of
such cards for interchange. These cards are identification cards intended for information exchange
negotiated between the outside world and the integrated circuit in the card. As a result of an information
exchange, the card delivers information (computation result, stored data) and/or modifies its content
(data storage, event memorization).
— Five parts are specific to cards with galvanic contacts and three of them specify electrical interfaces.
— ISO/IEC 7816-1 specifies physical characteristics for cards with contacts.
— ISO/IEC 7816-2 specifies dimensions and location of the contacts.
— ISO/IEC 7816-3 specifies electrical interface and transmission protocols for asynchronous cards.
— ISO/IEC 7816-10 specifies electrical interface and answer to reset for synchronous cards.
— ISO/IEC 7816-12 specifies electrical interface and operating procedures for USB cards.
— All the other parts are independent from the physical interface technology. They apply to cards
accessed by contacts and/or by radio frequency.
— ISO/IEC 7816-4 specifies organization, security and commands for interchange.
— ISO/IEC 7816-5 specifies registration of application providers.
— ISO/IEC 7816-6 specifies interindustry data elements for interchange.
— ISO/IEC 7816-7 specifies commands for structured card query language.
— ISO/IEC 7816-8 specifies commands for security operations.
— ISO/IEC 7816-9 specifies commands for card management.
— ISO/IEC 7816-11 specifies personal verification through biometric methods.
— ISO/IEC 7816-13 specifies commands for handling the life cycle of applications.
— ISO/IEC 7816-15 specifies cryptographic information application.
ISO/IEC 10536 specifies access by close coupling. ISO/IEC 14443 and ISO/IEC 15693 specify access by
radio frequency. Such cards are also known as contactless cards.
