GB/T 14916-2022 — This document describes the characteristics of identification cards and their use in information exchange. This document specifies the physical characteristics of identification cards, including card materials, construction, characteristics and dimensions of six cards. ISO /IEC 10373-1 and ISO /IEC 24789-2 specify the tests used to check that a card complies with the parameters specified in this document procedures. This document specifies the requirements for cards and card interface equipment used for identification. Considering both human and machine factors and expounding the most small request. The purpose of this document is to provide criteria for judging card performance. This document does not take into account the usage of the card prior to testing. This document applies to the design, manufacture, application and testing of identification cards. Note 1.This document is measured using the International System of Units. Note 2.Flexible cards are not within the scope of this document. See GB/T 28177 series standards for flexible card standards.

foreword
This document is in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Guidelines for Standardization Work Part 1.Structure and Drafting Rules for Standardization Documents"
drafting.
This document replaces GB/T 14916-2006 "Physical Characteristics of Identification Cards". Compared with GB/T 14916-2006, except for structural adjustments and
Apart from editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.
a) Added normative reference documents such as GB/T 15120.1, GB/T 15120.9, ISO /IEC 14443-1 (see Chapter 2);
b) Added "3FF" "4FF" "Integrated Circuit" "Integrated Circuit Card" "Contacts" "Patch Layer" "Personalized Card" "As Expected"
terms and definitions (see 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, 3.15, 3.16, 3.17, 3.18 and 3.19);
c) Added the definition of dimensions and tolerance indicators for 3FF and 4FF cards (see 5.2);
d) Deleted flammability (see 8.2 of the.2006 edition);
e) Added dynamic bending stress (see 8.14);
f) Changed the opacity indicator, redefined the wavelength range and the value of the opacity (see 8.9, 8.10 of the.2006 edition);
g) The evaluation criteria for integrated circuit cards are added, including requirements for X-rays, static electricity, mechanical strength, dynamic twisting stress, etc. (see Clause 9
chapter);
h) The card interface device has been added (see Chapter 10).
This document is modified to adopt ISO /IEC 7810.2019 "Physical Characteristics of Identification Cards".
Compared with ISO /IEC 7810.2019, this document has made the following structural adjustments.
--- Add 3.12 (3FF) and 3.13 (4FF), delete 3.12 in ISO /IEC 7810.2019;
---3.14 corresponds to 3.13 in ISO /IEC 7810.2019;
---3.16 corresponds to 3.14 in ISO /IEC 7810.2019;
---3.17 corresponds to 3.16 in ISO /IEC 7810.2019;
---3.18 corresponds to 3.17 in ISO /IEC 7810.2019;
---3.19 corresponds to 3.18 in ISO /IEC 7810.2019.
The technical differences between this document and ISO /IEC 7810.2019 and their reasons are as follows.
a) Change "four types of cards" in the second sentence of the scope of Chapter 1 of ISO /IEC 7810.2019 to "six types of cards", because this document adds
3FF, 4FF;
b) Regarding terms and definitions (see Chapter 3), this document adds the definitions of "3FF" and "4FF", and deletes the definition of "light-blocking reference object" to adapt to
my country's technical conditions;
c) The relevant indicators and sources of 3FF and 4FF cards (see 5.2) are added in "Card Size and Tolerance" to adapt to the technical conditions of our country;
d) Redefine the wavelength range of "opacity" and the value of opacity (see 8.9) to adapt to the technical conditions of our country;
e) This document replaces ISO /IEC 7811-1 (see 8.10, 8.12, 9.9) with normative references GB/T 15120.1, and uses normative
The quoted GB/T 15120.9 replaces ISO /IEC 7811-9 (see 8.12, 9.9);
f) Replaced ISO /IEC 7816-2 (see 9.6) with the normatively quoted GB/T 16649.2 to adapt to the technical conditions of our country;
g) Replaced IEC 61000-4-2 (see 10.2) with the normatively quoted GB/T 17626.2 to adapt to the technical conditions of our country.
The following editorial changes have been made to this document.
a) Modified the expression format of the preamble;
b) "ID-000" in the terminology in Chapter 3 is changed to "2FF" in line with China's national conditions, and all places involving "ID-000" in the document are revised
Change to "2FF";
c) In the notes to Chapter 8 "Toxic", delete the statement about referring to international standards. Since the card material is toxic and involves many areas, it is not
Can be generalized, so 8.2 delete the description of "note".
