`
`Foreword
`
`ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
`federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The
`work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
`through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a
`subject for which a technical committee has been established has the
`right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
`governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take
`part in the work.
`Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
`circulated to the member bodies for approval before their acceptance
`as International Standards by the ISO Council. They are approved in
`accordance with ISO procedures requiring at least 75 % approval by
`the member bodies voting.
`International Standard ISO 7816-1 was prepared by Technical
`Committee ISO/TC 97, Information processing systems.
`Users should note that all International Standards undergo revision
`from time to time and that any reference made herein to any other
`International Standard implies its latest edition, unless otherwise
`stated.

`

`
`4 Physical characteristics
`The following physical characteristics describe the card
`after the insertion of integrated circuit(s) with contacts
`into an ID-1 card type meeting the requirements of ISO
`7810, ISO 7811 parts 1 to 5, ISO 7812 and ISO 7813.
`NOTE - Specific test methods applicable to several of
`these characteristics are described in the annex which
`forms part of this International Standard.
`4.1 General
`The physical characteristics specified for all types of
`identification cards in ISO 7810 shall apply to IC cards
`The
`requirements
`for
`flammability and overall
`dimensions specified for financial transaction cards in
`ISO 7813 shall also apply to these cards.
`NOTES
`1 The thickness of the cards as specified in ISO 7810
`applies to a non-embossed card including contacts and
`integrated circuits.
`2 Concerning "resistance to chemicals" (see sub-clause
`6.1.4 of ISO 7810) the attention of card issuers is drawn
`to the fact that information held on a magnetic stripe or
`in the integrated circuit(s) may be rendered ineffective
`as a result of contamination.
`
`0 Introduction
`This International Standard is one of a series of
`standards describing the parameters for identification
`cards as defined in ISO 7810 and the use of such cards
`for international interchange.
`1 Scope and field of application
`the physical
`This part of
`ISO 7816 specifies
`characteristics of
`integrated circuit(s) cards with
`contacts. It applies to identification cards of the ID-1
`card type which may include embossing and/or a
`magnetic stripe as specified in ISO 7811 parts 1 to 5.
`This part of ISO 7816 applies to cards which have a
`physical interface with electrical contacts. It does not,
`however, define the nature, number and position of the
`integrated circuits in the cards.
`NOTE — Other types of IC cards, formats or interfaces
`may be developed in the future which will call for
`additions to be made to this part of ISO 7816 or will
`result in the need for other International Standards to
`be prepared.

`3 Definitions
`For the purpose of this part of ISO 7816, the following
`definitions apply.
`3.1
`integrated circuit(s): Electronic component(s)
`designed
`to perform processing and/or memory
`functions.
`3.2 integrated circuit(s) card (IC card): An ID-1 card
`type (as specified in ISO 7810, ISO 7811 parts 1 to 5,
`ISO 7812 and ISO 7813) into which has been inserted
`one or more integrated circuits.
`3.3 contact: Conducting element ensuring galvanic
`continuity between integrated circuit(s) and the external
`interfacing equipment.

`
`4.2 Additional characteristics
`4.2.1 Ultra violet light
`Any protection beyond the ambient UV light level shall
`be the responsibility of the card manufacturer.
`4.2.2 X-rays
`Exposure of either side of the card to a dose of 0.1 Gy
`relative to a medium-energy X-radiation of 70 to 140 Kv
`(cumulative dose per year) shall not cause malfunction
`of the card.
`NOTE — This corresponds to twice the generally
`accepted human dose of 0,05 Gy per year.
`4.2.3 Surface profile of contacts
`The difference in level between all contacts and the
`adjacent card surface shall be less than 0,10 mm. The
`protection area specified in sub-clause 6.3.3 of ISO
`7810 shall be extended to the area between B and C
`shown in the figure in ISO 7810.
`4.2.4 Mechanical strength (of cards and contacts)
`The card shall resist damage to its surface and to any
`components contained in it and shall remain intact
`during normal use, storage and handling.
`Each contact surface and contact area (entire galvanic
`surface) shall not be damaged by a working pressure
`equivalent to a steel ball of diameter 1 mm to which is
`applied a force of 1,5 N.
`See the test methods in clauses A.1 and A.2 of the
`annex.
`4.2.5 Electrical resistance (of contacts)
`The contact resistance of a card connector assembly
`can be defined and measured by using a test card with
`a short circuit between the contacts within the card.
`When a d.c. current of any value between 50 ((cid:28)A and
`300 rnA is applied, the resistance measured between
`any two lines of the connector (two contacts in series)
`shall be less than 0,5 (cid:13).
`The impedance shall be such that the voltage across
`the impedance shall remain lower than 10 mV for an
`a.c. current of 10 mA peak at a frequency of 4 MHz.
`
`4.2.6 Electromagnetic interference [between
`magnetic stripe and integrated circuit(s)]
`If the card carries a magnetic stripe, the IC card shall
`not be damaged, malfunction or be altered after
`reading, writing or erasing of the magnetic stripe.
`Conversely, the writing or reading of the integrated
`circuit(s) shall not cause a malfunction of the magnetic
`stripe or its associated reading, writing or handling
`mechanisms.
`4.2.7 Electromagnetic fields
`The exposure of the card to a 79 500 A • r/m (1 000 Oe)
`magnetic field shall not cause malfunction of the
`integrated circuit(s). The test shall be effected with a
`static magnetic field of the indicated value.
`WARNING — This magnetic field will erase the
`contents of a magnetic stripe (if used).
`4.2.8 Static electricity
`The integrated circuit shall not be damaged in normal
`use by a person charged with static electricity.
`The performance of the card shall not be degraded by
`exposure to a static discharge between any contact and
`ground of 1 500 V through a resistance of 1 500 (cid:13) from
`a capacitance of 100 pF.
`See the test method in clause A.3 of the annex.
`4.2.9 Heat dissipation
`The IC in the card shall not dissipate more than 2,5 W.
`WARNING — Whatever the environmental conditions
`may be, care shall be taken so that the temperature on
`the surface of the card does not exceed 50 °C.

`Place the card between the two jaws of a machine, one of them being a moving part and bend
`a) the long side :
`— deflection (f) : 2 cm;
`— periodicity: 30 bendings per minute;
`b) the short side :
`— deflection (f) : 1 cm;
`— periodicity: 30 bendings per minute.
`Check the functioning of the card in the writing or reading mode every 125 bendings.
`Recommended test duration: at least 250 passes in each of the four test orientations.
