Project 1021 - ISO/IEC 10373-2:2006, Identification cards - Test methods - Part 2: Cards with magnetic stripes

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.
