BS EN ISO/IEC 7811-1:1996 is a technical standard that specifies the requirements for identification cards, more specifically, the physical characteristics of the card and the magnetic stripe used for data encoding. The full title of the standard is "Identification cards - Recording technique - Part 1: Embossing."
This standard is part of the ISO/IEC 7811 series, which consists of several parts that cover different aspects of identification card technology. Part 1, as mentioned, focuses on embossing, which is a process of creating raised characters or designs on the surface of the card.
ISO/IEC 7811-1:1996 specifies the following:
1. Physical characteristics of identification cards: This includes the dimensions of the card, the material used, and other physical properties necessary for compatibility with card readers and handling machines.
2. Embossing technique: It provides guidelines for the embossing process, such as character height, spacing, and location on the card. This is primarily used for raised characters on credit cards and some identification cards.
It's worth noting that ISO/IEC 7811-1:1996 is quite an old version, and there might be more recent revisions or updates to the standard. If you need to adhere to this standard or are looking for the most recent version, it is recommended to check with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) or the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for the latest revision, which might have occurred after my knowledge cutoff date in September 2021.
