Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
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 ISO documents 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 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

Introduction
This part of ISO/IEC 11694 is one of a series of International Standards defining the parameters for
optical memory cards and the use of such cards for the storage and interchange of digital data.
This part of ISO/IEC 11694 is specific to optical memory cards using the linear recording method.
Characteristics which apply to other specific recording methods shall be found in separate International
Standards.
This part of ISO/IEC 11694 describes the use of biometric data on an optical memory card. It uses the
logical structure defined in ISO/IEC 11694-5 to facilitate the interchange of biometric data written to
optical memory cards using the linear recording method.
All numbers in this document are written in decimal notation unless otherwise specified.

3.1
biometric data
set of bytes that describes the physical properties of one or more parts of a living body
EXAMPLE The encoded template which mathematically describes a person’s fingerprint. This template can
be compared against the fingerprint of the person who is presenting the card.
3.2
CBEFF file
biometric data file (a set of bytes) that conforms to ISO/IEC 19875-1
3.3
encoded biometric data
biometric data that has been interpreted and encoded
3.4
raw biometric data
biometric data obtained directly from a biometric device
4 Interchange of biometric data items
ISO/IEC 11694-5 allows for the interchange of all types of data on optical cards by specifying both the
directory structure on the card and the method of identifying individual data items that are written to
the card. Using the data format described in ISO/IEC 11694-5, biometric data are accessed in much the
same manner as any other type of data on an optical memory card.
This being the case, this part of the standard specifies tags and structures which facilitate and which
are specific to accessing biometric data items on a card.
Typically, an application that reads a given card looks on that card for tags that correspond to data items
that the application knows how to use, based on the published tag document. ISO/IEC 11694-5 includes a
set of defined tag ranges that assist a reading application in accessing useful biometric data on the card
in the absence of the application’s knowledge of a particular tag.
EXAMPLE The reader requires from the card, images of one or more of the cardholder’s fingerprints. It
queries the card for any data with tags in the range from 7000 through 7999. Tags in this range correspond to
data items containing raw fingerprint images. If the card co
