ISO/IEC 7811

In this article we will explore the phenomenon of ISO/IEC 7811 and its impact on contemporary society. Since its appearance, ISO/IEC 7811 has sparked debates, conflicting opinions and has generated deep interest in different areas. Over the years, ISO/IEC 7811 has evolved and taken on new dimensions, influencing not only the way we interact with the world around us, but also our perception of reality. Through detailed analysis, we will address the various facets of ISO/IEC 7811 and examine its relevance in the current context.

ISO/IEC 7811 Identification cards — Recording technique is a set of nine (7811-1 to 7811-9) standards describing the recording technique on identification cards.

It comprises:

  • "Part 1": Embossing
  • "Part 2": Magnetic stripe — Low coercivity
  • "Part 3": Location of embossed characters on ID-1 cards
    Part 3 is already withdrawn and revised by Part 1.
  • "Part 4": Location of read-only magnetic tracks — Tracks 1 and 2
    Part 4 is already withdrawn and revised by Part 2.
  • "Part 5": Location of read-write magnetic track — Track 3
    Part 5 is already withdrawn and revised by Part 2.
  • "Part 6": Magnetic stripe — High coercivity
  • "Part 7": Magnetic stripe — High coercivity, high density
    Allows capacity 10 times that of a card conforming to Part 6.
  • "Part 8": Magnetic stripe -- Coercivity of 51,7 kA/m (650 Oe)
    (including any protective overlay)
  • "Part 9": Tactile identifier mark
    Specifies the physical characteristics of a tactile identifier mark used by visually impaired card holders to distinguish their cards.
