11、 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
12、 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
13、 have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. 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 b
14、e 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 fo

17、eword - Supplementary information The committee responsible for this document is Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, SC 17, Cards and personal identification. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO/IEC 7811-1:2002), which has been technically rev
18、ised. Major changes from the first edition are as follows: Annex D added to define the minimum spacing from embossing and IC components. Title of Clause 6 was changed to avoid confusion. Formerly, the title was “Visually and machine readable characters” which could be interpreted to include characte
19、rs in the following clause. Reference in Table 1 was also changed. ISO/IEC 7811 consists of the following parts, under the general title Identification cards Recording technique: Part 1: Embossing Part 2: Magnetic stripe Low coercivity Part 6: Magnetic stripe High coercivity Part 7: Magnetic stripe
20、High coercivity, high density Part 8: Magnetic stripe Coercivity of 51,7 kA/m (650 Oe) Part 9: Tactile identifier mark Notes in this part of ISO/IEC 7811 are only used for giving additional information intended to assist in the understanding or use of the standard and do not contain provisions or re
21、quirements to which it is necessary to conform in order to be able to claim compliance to this part of ISO/IEC 7811.iv ISO/IEC 2014 All rights reservedBS ISO/IEC 7811-1:2014INTERNATIONAL ST ANDARD ISO/IEC 7811-1:2014(E) Identification cards Recording technique Part 1: Embossing 1 Scope This part of
22、ISO/IEC 7811 is one of a series of International Standards describing the parameters for identification cards as defined in the definitions clause and the use of such cards for international interchange. This part of ISO/IEC 7811 specifies requirements for embossed characters on identification cards
23、. The embossed characters are intended for transfer of data either by use of imprinters or by visual or machine reading. It takes into consideration both human and machine aspects and states minimum requirements. It is the purpose of this International Standards to provide criteria to which cards sh
24、all perform. No consideration is given within these International Standards to the amount of use, if any, experienced by the card prior to test. Failure to conform to specified criteria should be negotiated between the involved parties. ISO/IEC 10373-1 specifies the test procedures used to check car
25、ds against the parameters specified in this part of ISO/IEC 7811. NOTE 1 Numeric values in the SI and/or Imperial measurement system in this part of ISO/IEC 7811 might have been rounded off and therefore are consistent with, but not exactly equal to, each other. Either system can be used, but the tw
26、o is not intended to be intermixed or reconverted. The original design was made using the Imperial measurement system NOTE 2 TIM (Tactile Identifier Mark) defined by ISO/IEC 7811-9 can be located in the name and address area of this part of ISO/IEC 7811. The layout of embossed characters in this are
27、a is not intended to interfere with TIM. 2 Conformance A prerequisite for conformance with this part of ISO/IEC 7811 is conformance with ISO/IEC 7810 for the ID-1 size card. An identification card is in conformance with this part of ISO/IEC 7811 if it meets all mandatory requirements specified herei
28、n. Default values apply if no others are specified. 3 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

33、s required for its intended purpose but has not been issued 4.3 returned card embossed card after it has been issued to the card holder and returned for the purpose of testing 4.4 identification number number that identifies the card holder 5 Card characteristics Special attention shall be paid to t
34、he characteristics of the material affecting its suitability for this purpose, particularly in respect to its ability to resist crushing and collapsing of the embossed parts when operating in imprinters. Cards shall be made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and/or PVCA (vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate copoly
35、mer) or materials having equal or better performance such as polyesters, polyethylenes and polycarbonates. NOTE Refer to machine manufacturer instructions regarding card construction requirements for achieving embossed character relief heights in compliance with this part of ISO/IEC 7811. At the tim
36、e of publication there was no agreed on test method for verifying the suitability of card structures for embossing. See Informative Annex C. 5.1 Card warpage When lying convex side up on a flat rigid surface, the maximum distance from the flat surface to any non-embossed portion of the convex side o
37、f an embossed card immediately prior to issue shall not be greater than 2,5 mm (0.10 in) including the card thickness. NOTE The amount of card warpage depends on the card material and the embossing technique used. 5.2 Surface distortions No raised area shall exceed 0,51 mm (0.020 in) on the front of

NOTE 2 All identification card standards use the top edge of the card as the reference edge for dimensions,
41、except for this embossing standard which, for historical reasons, uses the bottom edge of the card as the reference. 6 Machine readable characters 6.1 Character set and type font The numeric characters of one of the following type fonts shall be used for embossed characters intended for machine read
42、ing, either directly from the card or from card imprints (see Annex A): ISO/IEC 1073-1, OCR-A, Sizes I and IV; ISO/IEC 1073-2, OCR-B, Sizes I and IV; Type font Farrington 7B as described in Annex B.

43、compatibility in the choice of font, the attention of intending users is drawn to the necessity of agreement with their potential interchange partners. Print specifications are given in ISO 1831. 6.2 Character spacing The centreline to centreline character spacing shall be 3,63 mm 0,15 mm (0,143 in
44、0,006 in). 6.3 Character height Maximum height at the printing surface of the embossed characters, encompassing centreline skew, and character misalignment shall be 4,32 mm (0.170 in). 6.4 Relief height of embossed characters Relief height of imprinting character surfaces above the card surface as m

46、EC 1073-2, OCR-B, Size I, should be used for embossed characters intended for visually reading directly from the card or from card imprints. 7.2 Character spacing The centreline to centreline character spacing shall be 2,54 mm 0,15 mm (0,100 in 0,006 in). 7.3 Relief height of embossed characters Rel
