13、andardization. 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 with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields
14、 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 have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. International Standards are drafted in
15、accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3. The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an Internationa
16、l Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO/IEC 7811 may be the subject of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent righ
17、ts. ISO/IEC 7811-1 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 17, Cards and personal identification. This third edition of ISO/IEC 7811-1 cancels and replaces ISO/IEC 7811-1:1995 and ISO/IEC 7811-3:1995. The user is encouraged to review the entir
18、e standard for revisions and updates. The major changes made during this revision are listed below. 1. The requirements given in ISO/IEC 7811-3:1995 are included in this edition of ISO/IEC 7811-1. 2. Special physical characteristics for embossing formerly detailed in ISO/IEC 7810:1995 have been move
19、d to this standard. 3. Added an informative annex for a test method for embossability. 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 Anne
20、xes A and B form a normative part of this part of ISO/IEC 7811. Annex C is information only. 11 ScopeThis part of ISO/IEC 7811 is one of a series of standards describing the parameters for identification cards asdefined in the definitions clause and the use of such cards for international interchang
21、e.This part of ISO/IEC 7811 specifies requirements for embossed characters on identification cards. The embossedcharacters are intended for transfer of data either by use of imprinters or by visual or machine reading. It takes intoconsideration both human and machine aspects and states minimum requi
22、rements.It is the purpose of this series of standards to provide criteria to which cards shall perform. No consideration isgiven within these standards to the amount of use, if any, experienced by the card prior to test. Failure to conformto specified criteria should be negotiated between the involv
23、ed parties.ISO/IEC 10373-1 specifies the test procedures used to check cards against the parameters specified in thispart of ISO/IEC 7811.NOTE Numeric values in the SI and/or Imperial measurement system in this part of ISO/IEC 7811 may have beenrounded off and therefore are consistent with, but not
24、exactly equal to, each other. Either system may be used, but the twoshould not be intermixed or reconverted. The original design was made using the Imperial measurement system.2 ConformanceA prerequisite for conformance with this part of ISO/IEC 7811 is conformance with ISO/IEC 7810 for the ID-1 siz
25、ecard. An identification card is in conformance with this part of ISO/IEC 7811 if it meets all mandatory requirementsspecified herein. Default values apply if no others are specified.3 Normative referencesThe following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, con
26、stitute provisions ofthis part of ISO/IEC 7811. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of thesepublications do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this part of ISO/IEC 7811 are encouraged toinvestigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions
27、of the normative documents indicated below. Forundated references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies.

33、mbossed parts when operating inimprinters.Cards shall be made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and/or PVCA (polyvinyl chloride acetate) or materials having equalor better performance such as polyesters, polyethylenes and polycarbonates.NOTE Refer to machine manufacturer instructions regarding card constr
34、uction requirements for achieving embossedcharacter relief heights in compliance with this part of ISO/IEC 7811. At the time of publication there was no agreed testmethod for verifying the suitability of card structures for embossing. See Informative Annex C.5.1 Card warpageWhen lying convex side up
35、 on a flat rigid surface, the maximum distance from the flat surface to any non-embossedportion of the convex side of 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 th
