BS EN ISO/IEC 7811-5:1996 is a standard that specifies the recording technique, track layout, and data structures for identification cards that utilize magnetic stripe technology. This international standard was developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
The ISO/IEC 7811-5 standard specifically pertains to "Identification cards - Recording technique - Part 5: Location of read-only magnetic tracks - Tracks 1 and 2". It defines the following aspects:
1. Location of read-only magnetic tracks: The standard specifies the position of read-only magnetic tracks on identification cards. In particular, it focuses on Tracks 1 and 2, which are commonly used for encoding data on various types of cards, including credit cards, debit cards, and identification cards.
2. Track layout and data structure: The standard outlines the physical arrangement and data structure for Tracks 1 and 2. This includes details on how the data should be encoded and organized on the magnetic stripe.
3. Magnetic stripe characteristics: It may cover information about the coercivity of the magnetic stripe and other technical characteristics to ensure proper reading and compatibility with card readers.
4. Conformance requirements: The standard may specify requirements that cards and card readers must meet to be considered compliant with the standard.
5. The ISO/IEC 7811 series consists of several parts, each addressing different aspects of magnetic stripe card technology, including data encoding, financial transaction cards, and embossing.
6. Please note that standards may be revised and updated over time, so it is always best to refer to the most recent version of the standard for the latest information and requirements.
