Responsibility in the case of fraudulent use of cards. Exchange of information among Administration and credit card issued.
12、 Account should be taken of the Recommendation on CEPT (Recommendation T/SF 58) in so far as it is relevant to the introduction of payment for use of telephones by means of credit card issued by the Administrations, and to the Recommendation of ISO/T068 on Banking procedures and their telecommunicat
13、ions aspects, and to ISO/T097 in respect of intelligent cards and their telecommunication aspect. Operational guidance should be developed for harmonised procedures to deal with the situation where a telephone call, being paid by means of a telephone credit card, is prematurely curtailed because of insufficient credit in the account, or because of an inappropriate response to comprehensive security procedures. The Administrations may accept lower security levels when they consider that the risks are low and can accept them for that application. Edition of January 15, 1988
