CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 10373-7-09

This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard ISO/IEC 10373-7:2008. 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. NOTE 1 Criteria for acceptability do not form part of ISO/IEC 10373, but will be found in the International Standards mentioned above. NOTE 2 Test methods defined in ISO/IEC 10373 are intended to be performed separately. A given card is not required to pass through all the tests sequentially. This part of ISO/IEC 10373 deals with test methods, which are specific to contactless integrated circuit card (vicinity card) technology. ISO/IEC 10373-1 deals with test methods which are common to one or more ICC technologies and other parts deal with other technology-specific tests. Unless otherwise specified, the tests in this part of ISO/IEC 10373 apply exclusively to vicinity cards defined in ISO/IEC 15693-1 and ISO/IEC 15693-2.
