本文件描述了身份证的特点以及这种卡在国际交换中的使用。 本文件规定了识别卡的物理特性，包括四种尺寸卡的卡材料、结构、特性和尺寸。 ISO/IEC 10373？1和ISO/IEC 24789？2指定用于根据本文档中规定的参数检查卡的测试程序。 本文件规定了用于识别的卡和卡接口设备的要求。它考虑了人和机器两个方面，并规定了最低要求。 本文件的目的是为卡的性能提供标准。本文档中未考虑卡在测试前的使用量（如果有）。注1本文件中SI和/或英制测量系统中的数值已四舍五入，因此彼此一致，但不完全相等。两种系统都可以使用，但是混合或重新转换这两种系统会导致错误。最初的设计是使用英制测量系统进行的。 注2薄型柔性卡不在本文档的范围内（参见ISO/IEC 15457系列）。

This document describes the characteristics for identification cards and the use of such cards for international interchange.
This document specifies the physical characteristics of identification cards including card materials, construction, characteristics and dimensions for four sizes of cards.
ISO/IEC 10373？1 and ISO/IEC 24789？2 specify the test procedures used to check cards against the parameters specified in this document.
This document specifies the requirements for cards and card interface devices used for identification. It takes into consideration both human and machine aspects and states minimum requirements.
It is the purpose of this document to provide criteria for the performance of cards. No consideration is given within this document to the amount of use, if any, experienced by the card prior to test.
NOTE 1 Numeric values in the SI and/or Imperial measurement system in this document have been rounded off and therefore are consistent with, but not exactly equal to, each other. Either system can be used, but intermixing or reconverting the two can result in errors. The original design was made using the Imperial measurement system.
NOTE 2 Thin flexible cards are not within the scope of this document (see the ISO/IEC 15457 series).
