CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC-7811-5-96 (R2000)

The international community has decided to make this standard available only in the English language version. It has been adopted as a National Standard of Canada on this basis. This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard ISO/IEC 7811-5:1995. 1 Scope This part of ISO/IEC 7811 specifies the location of a track for read-write magnetic recording, track 3, on identification cards. ISO/IEC 10373 specifies the test procedures used to check cards against the parameters specified in this part of ISO/IEC 7811. This part of ISO/IEC 7811 specifies the requirements for cards used for identification. It takes into consideration both human and machine aspects and states minimum requirements. NOTE - Numeric values in the SI and/or Imperial measurement system in this International Standard may have been rounded off and therefore are consistent with, but not exactly equal to, each other. Either system may be used, but the two should not be intermixed or reconverted. The original design was made using the Imperial measurement system.
