Overview

SIST EN 1332-2:2004 is a European standard developed by CEN that defines the dimensions and location of tactile identifiers on ID-1 identification cards. It specifies the form and position of an edge indentation used as a tactile marker to assist visually impaired users in orienting ID-1 format cards. This tactile feature is optional and can be implemented at the discretion of the card issuer. The standard supports ergonomic man-machine interface design by enhancing accessibility through tactile cues.

Key Topics

• Tactile Identifier Design
  The standard details the exact shape, size, and measurements of a single edge indentation that serves as the tactile identifier on ID-1 cards.

• Placement and Location
  It prescribes the specific location along the card’s edge to ensure consistent positioning, allowing users to reliably identify card orientation by touch.

• Compatibility with ID-1 Cards
  EN 1332-2 applies exclusively to ID-1 cards, the widely accepted format for identification cards measuring 85.60 × 53.98 mm.

• Accessibility Considerations
  The tactile identifier facilitates independent use of ID cards by individuals with visual impairments, improving usability and inclusivity in identification systems.

Applications

This standard is critical for manufacturers and issuers of ID-1 identification cards including:

• Government-issued ID Cards
  Passports, national identity cards, and driver licenses can incorporate tactile indentations to aid visually impaired cardholders.

• Payment and Banking Cards
  Banks and financial institutions may apply tactile identifiers for enhanced card orientation and usability by all users.

• Access Control & Security Cards
  Organizations issuing security badges or access cards can integrate tactile markers following EN 1332-2 to ensure ease of use.

• Transport and Membership Cards
  Public transport authorities and member organizations can leverage the standard to make cards more user-friendly.

Related Standards

• EN 1332-1
  Specifies general requirements for man-machine interface features on identification cards.

• ISO/IEC 7810
  Defines the physical characteristics of ID cards including the ID-1 format dimensions.

• EN 1332-3
  Addresses additional functionalities or alternative tactile features for identification cards.

Practical Benefits

• Enhances Accessibility for visually impaired users, promoting equal access to identification systems.
• Standardizes tactile features to ensure consistent user experience across different card issuers and industries.
• Supports interoperability by aligning card design with widely recognized ISO and European standards.
• Improves user confidence in handling and using ID cards independently and securely.

Incorporating the SIST EN 1332-2:2004 tactile identifier into ID-1 cards reflects a commitment to inclusive design principles, reinforcing usability and compliance in identification card technology.
