ANSI ISO IEC 10373-5-1998 pdf download Identification cards — Test methods — Part 5: Optical memory cards
1 Scope
ISO/IEC 10373 defines test methods for characteristics of identification cards according to the definition given in ISO/IEC 7810. Each test method is cross-referenced to one or more base standards, which may be ISO/IEC 7810 or one or more of the supplementary standards that define the information storage technologies employed in identification cards 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 described in ISO/IEC 10373 are intended to be performed separately. A given card is not required to pass through all the tests sequentially.
This part of ISO/IEC 10373 deals with test methods which are specific to optical memory card technology.
ISO/IEC 10373-1, General characteristics, deals with test methods which are common to one or more card technologies and other parts deal with other technology-specific tests.

3 Terms and Definitions
For the purposes of this part of ISO/IEC 10373, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
test method
method for testing characteristics of identification cards for the purpose of confirming their compliance with International Standards
3.2
testably functional
surviving the action of some potentially destructive influence to the extent that:
a) any magnetic stripe present on the card shows a relationship between signal amplitudes before and after exposure that is in accordance with the base standard
b) any integrated circuit(s) present in the card continues to show an Answer to Reset response 1 which conforms to the base standard
c) any contacts associated with any integrated circuit(s) present in the card continue to show electrical resistance and impedance which conform to the base standard
d) any optical memory present in the card continue to show optical characteristics which conform to the base standard
