20、cards, the subject of this International Standard, are used to automate the controls for access to goodsor services such as mass transit, highway toll systems, car parks, vouchers, stored value, etc.For these applications, data can be written and/or read by machines using various recording technique
21、s such asmagnetic stripe, optical character recognition (OCR), bar code, etc.This part of ISO/IEC 15457 specifies the magnetic stripe and encoding characteristics of thin flexible cards at twopoints in the card life cycle:1. at the point of loading into the card issuing equipment;2. at the point of
22、issue to the public.Guidance concerning the storage and usage of finished cards (including magnetic stripe cards) under variousenvironmental conditions is given in ISO/IEC 15457-1.2 Normative referencesThe following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, consti

Common char
42、acteristics are specified in clause 4. Specifications for the permitted magnetic andencoding characteristics are given in the annexes.All clauses in all parts of ISO/IEC 15457 apply to finished cards or to the reels/packs from which such cards aretaken. Certain clauses however, such as durability, c
43、oncern the characteristics of the card throughout its life. As amatter of convenience and practicality, certain tests can be carried out on unfinished cards where it can bedemonstrated that no significant change in that property can arise during subsequent processing.4.2 Requirements common to all f
44、ormats4.2.1 General requirementsThin flexible cards may be finished in a variety of ways, according to the requirements of the system in which theyare to be used. This part of the standard deals with those which are equipped with a magnetic stripe.Stripes may be magnetically encoded, in accordance w
45、ith this part of ISO/IEC 15457.The addition of a magnetic stripe and the encoding of that stripe shall not affect the continued conformance of thefinished cards to the other applicable parts of ISO/IEC 15457.Magnetic stripes, however presented, shall be free from defects which could interfere with u
46、sage, such as joins,discontinuities, loose particles, embedded debris, creases, indentations and high spots. They shall not adhere to,or leave an impression on, the adjacent cards in a reel or pack.ISO/IEC 15457-2:2001(E) ISO/IEC 2001 All rights reserved 54.2.2 Reference edgesOnce identified in acco
