Encyclopedia > ISO 7811

ISO 7811 is a set of 6 (7811-1 to 7811-6) standards describing the recording technique on identification cards.


It describes:

  • embossing, and especially the position of embossing characters on ID-1 cards
  • encoding technique on magnetic stripe: description of the three tracks (ISO-1, ISO-2, ISO-3)
  • magnetic stripe standard coercivity (Hi-co and Lo-co)

Universal Magnetic Swipe Reader USB Keyboard Interface (484 words)
An audible tone and a visual LED signal indicate a successful read.
The Universal Magnetic Swipe Reader accepts both high and low coercivity magnetic cards, and can read all ISO 7811, AAMVA and California Driver's license, and custom data formats.
Programmability options allow the user to select different languages and output data format, including divide, rearrange, edit, and validate fields of magnetic card data.
ICMA - Industry Information (2922 words)
The ISO specifications clearly describe that 6 bits and a parity check are used to denote a character on track 1, whereas 4 bits and a parity check are used to denote a digit character in tracks 2 and 3.
The ISO specification lays down the criteria which must be used for all media to be encoded and for readers to be set in order to read the encoded data.
ISO specifies the need to test for erasure performance, to test for how evenly the magnetic particles are dispersed all along the track, to test for resolution and demagnetization (which importantly confirms the main reason for using HiCo media).
