This part of ISO/IEC 10373 defines test methods for characteristics of identification cards according to the definition given in ISO/IEC 7810. It is specific to optical memory cards that use the holographic recording method technology. Each test method is cross-referenced to one or more base standards, i.e. ISO/IEC 7810 or one or more of the supplementary International Standards that define the information storage technologies employed in identification card applications. NOTE 1 Criteria for acceptability do not form part of ISO/IEC 10373, but will be found in the International Standards mentioned above. NOTE 2 Test methods defined in this part of ISO/IEC 10373 are intended to be performed separately. A given card is not required to pass through all the tests sequentially.
