Introduction
The use of machine readable ID-1 cards (MRC) in telecommunications applications, i.e. telephone
prepayment cards and Subscriber Identity Modules (SIM) for GSM telephones, can present problems for
all users; namely to orientate and turn the card so that it may be correctly inserted in the card operated
device. For older people and blind or severely visually-impaired people, the task of orienting a machine
readable ID-1 card can be a substantial obstacle.
At least four different tactile identifier designs are in concurrent use on telephone prepayment cards in
Europe (even two different designs in a single country) so there is a high risk of users being confused.
Standardization of the Man-Machine Interface (MMI) will facilitate the inter-sector and cross-border
interoperability of all machine-readable cards. There is, therefore, an urgent need for a single,
international standard for a tactile identifier on machine readable cards to aid all users, especially blind
and visually-impaired people, to orientate the cards quickly and correctly. A standard tactile identifier will
also substantially aid visually unimpaired users to insert cards faster and with fewer errors.
The purpose of this ETS is to specify the form, dimensions and position of an edge indentation for a single
standard tactile identifier for ID-1 type telephone prepayment cards and SIM cards. It is hoped that,
eventually, a common standard for a single tactile identifier for all machine readable ID-1 cards can be
achieved through harmonization with CEN in Europe and with ITU-T and ISO for a world wide standard.
TC HF intends to follow up this ETS with a recommendation on how to insert the ID-1 card in the terminal
card reader with reference to the tactile identifier on the card.

1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) specifies the form, dimensions and position of an
edge indentation for a single standard tactile identifier for machine readable ID-1 type telephone
prepayment cards and GSM telephones SIMs, i.e. cards which otherwise conform with the ISO standards
for machine readable ID-1 cards, and to specify the test procedure for verifying conformance with this
ETS.
This tactile identifier is meant to facilitate the correct orientation and insertion of telephone prepayment
cards and SIMs in the card-operated terminals, especially for people who are blind and visually impaired,
but also for older people, minors and other users.
This ETS does not apply to telephone prepayment cards which do not require to be inserted in any
specific orientation in the terminal nor to plug-in SIMs or to Thin Flexible Cards (TFC-1). National
differences in the delivery of instruction material to blind and visually impaired people places the provision
of packaging, labelling and instructions in the use of telephone prepayment cards and SIMs outside the
scope of this ETS.
