Description / Abstract:
This International Standard specifies the characteristics and
location of a magnetic stripe on a savingsbook as defined in Clause
4 and the use of such savingsbooks for international interchange.
Compatibility with international interchange systems is provided
through the requirements of this International Standard, enabling a
savingsbook with a magnetic stripe to be read and possibly encoded
in a device that is compatible with reading identification cards
used in international interchange.
This International Standard specifies requirements for a
magnetic stripe (including any protective overlay) on a
savingsbook, the encoding technique, and coded character sets. It
also specifies the characteristics of the savingsbook cover such as
stiffness, minimum size, surface irregularities, roughness, and
interaction between the cover material and the magnetic stripe. It
takes into consideration both human and machine aspects and states
minimum requirements.
Coercivity influences many of the quantities specified in this
International Standard but is not itself specified. Exposure of the
savingsbook to a magnetic field is likely to destroy the recorded
data.
This International Standard defines performance criteria for
savingsbooks. No consideration is given within this International
Standard to the amount of use, if any, experienced by the
savingsbook prior to test. Failure to conform to specified criteria
will be negotiated between the involved parties.
ISO/IEC 10373-2 specifies the test procedures used to check
savingsbooks against the parameters specified in this International
Standard. References in the test method to cards refer to
savingsbooks.
NOTE 1 Numeric values in the SI and/or Imperial measurement
system in this International Standard might have been rounded off
and are therefore consistent with, but not exactly equal to, each
other. Either system can be used, but the two are not be intermixed
or reconverted. The original design was made using the Imperial
measurement system.
NOTE 2 National systems can use different specifications, such
as DIN, as well as proprietary specifications for closed
systems.
