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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for
the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
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. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the
Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents) or the IEC
list of patent declarations received (see http:// patents .iec .ch).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www .iso .org/
iso/ foreword .html.
This document was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology,
Subcommittee SC 17, Cards and security devices for personal identification.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO/IEC 10373-1:2006), which has been
technically revised. It also incorporates the Amendment ISO/IEC 10373-1:2006/Amd.1:2012. The main
changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— three electrostatic discharge tests and the mechanical strength of contacts have been added;
— the ultraviolet light and static magnetic fields tests have been removed;
— the peel strength including the edge of the card test has been added; this test differs from the peel
strength test by allowing layer bond strength measurement at the card edge and the middle area of
the card;
— chemical lists have been revised into tables, which now include the base chemicals for Fuel B and
artificial perspiration solutions (a normative reference was provided in the second edition);
— technical changes have been made to the dynamic bending stress calibration method and opacity
measurement reporting;
— figures, tables and NOTEs have been revised to facilitate understanding of the tests;
— address for availability of optical reference (ORM7810) media has been changed;
— test methods have been refined and relaxed where technically appropriate.
A list of all parts in the ISO/IEC 10373 series can be found on the ISO website.

Cards and security devices for personal identification —
Test methods —
Part 1:
General Characteristics
1 Scope
This International Standard defines test methods for characteristics of identification cards according to
the definition given in ISO/IEC 7810. Each test method is cross-referenced to one or more base
standards, which may be ISO/IEC 7810 or one or more of the supplementary standards that define the
information storage technologies employed in identification cards applications.
NOTE 1 Criteria for acceptability do not form part of this International Standard but will be found
in the International Standards mentioned above.
NOTE 2 Test methods described in this International Standard are intended to be performed
separately. A given card is not required to pass through all the tests sequentially.
This part of ISO/IEC 10373 defines test methods which are common to one or more card technologies.
Other parts of the standard define technology-specific test methods.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

4 Default items applicable to the test methods
4.1 Test environment
Unless otherwise specified, testing shall take place in an environment having a temperature of 23°C ±
3°C (73°F ± 5°F) and relative humidity of 40% to 60%.
4.2 Pre-conditioning
Where pre-conditioning is required by the test method, the identification card to be tested shall be
conditioned to the test environment for a period of 24 h before testing.
4.3 Selection of test methods
Tests shall be applied as required to test the attributes of the card defined by the relevant base
standard.
4.4 Default tolerance
Unless otherwise specified, a default tolerance of ± 5% shall be applied to the quantity values given to
specify the characteristics of the test equipment (e.g. linear dimensions) and the test method
procedures (e.g. test equipment adjustments).
4.5 Total Measurement Uncertainty
It is recommended that the Total Measurement Uncertainty is reported with the results, and is
considered when judging conformity. The Total Measurement Uncertainty should be less than 20% of
[3]
the permitted tolerance range. JCGM 100 provides guidance for determining and expressing the Total
Measurement Uncertainty.
5 Test methods

5.1.1 Apparatus
— Flat level rigid plate;
— Suitable measurement device or a gauge with an accuracy of ± 0,03 mm (0.0012 in).
5.1.2 Procedure
Pre-condition the sample card according to 4.2 before testing and conduct the test under the test
environment defined in 4.1.
Place the sample card on the level rigid plate of the measuring apparatus. At least three corners of the
card shall rest on the plate (warpage of the card in convex form to the plate). Use a suitable
measurement device or gauge to determine that no point on the card's surface is at a distance of more
than the permitted maximum warpage from the level rigid plate, as shown in Figure
