7 Recording technique
7.1 Recording technique for visually readable data
7.1.1 Writing, printing, engraving, drawing, and lasering To put visually readable data on the card surface, recording techniques such as writing, printing, engraving, drawing, and lasering can be used.
7.1.2 Embossing Embossing can be used to put visually readable data on the card surface. When using embossing, the location, documentation procedure, and character type shall follow ISO/IEC 7811-1.
7.2 Magnetic stripes Magnetic stripes can be used to put visually readable data on the card surface. When using magnetic stripes, the location and the documentation procedure shall follow ISO/IEC 7811-2 and ISO/IEC 7811-6.
7.3 Integrated circuits with contacts ICs with contacts can be used to put visually readable data on the card surface. When using ICs with contacts, the location of contacts shall follow ISO/IEC 7816.
7.4 Contactless integrated circuits Contactless ICs can be used to put visually readable data on the card surface. When using cards with contactless ICs, the contactless interface shall follow ISO/IEC 10536, ISO/IEC 14443, and/or ISO/IEC 15693.
7.5 Optical memory Optical memory can be used to put visually readable data on the card surface. When using an optical memory, the location of the memory shall follow ISO/IEC 11693 (all parts).BS ISO 20301 pdf download.
