CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 10373-2:07 (R2012)

This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard ISO/IEC 10373-2:2006. 1 Scope ISO/IEC 10373 defines test methods for characteristics of identification cards according to the definition given in ISO/IEC 7810. Each test method is cross-referenced to one or more base standards, which may be ISO/IEC 7810 or one or more of the supplementary standards that define the information storage technologies employed in identification card applications. This part of ISO/IEC 10373 defines test methods which are specific to magnetic stripe technology. NOTE 1 - Criteria for acceptability do not form part of this part of ISO/IEC 10373 but will be found in the International Standards mentioned above. NOTE 2 - Test methods described in this part of ISO/IEC 10373 are intended to be performed separately. A given card is not required to pass through all the tests sequentially.
