ISO/IEC 7811

ISO/IEC 7811 Identification cards — Recording technique is a set of nine standards describing the recording technique on identification cards.
It comprises:

: Embossing
: Magnetic stripe — Low coercivity
: Location of embossed characters on ID-1 cards

Part 3 is already withdrawn and revised by Part 1.

: Location of read-only magnetic tracks — Tracks 1 and 2

Part 4 is already withdrawn and revised by Part 2.

: Location of read-write magnetic track — Track 3

Part 5 is already withdrawn and revised by Part 2.

: Magnetic stripe — High coercivity
: Magnetic stripe — High coercivity, high density

Allows capacity 10 times that of a card conforming to Part 6.

: Magnetic stripe -- Coercivity of 51,7 kA/m
: Tactile identifier mark

Specifies the physical characteristics of a tactile identifier mark used by visually impaired card holders to distinguish their cards.
