Specifies requirements for the magnetic material, location stripe, encoding technique, and the coded character set for the 3 tracks. Includes testing criteria. (Identical with ISO 7811-2.)

This part of ISO 7811 specifies characteristics for a magnetic stripe (including any protective overlay) on an identification card, the encoding technique and coded character sets. The magnetic recordings are intended for machine reading.
