This part of ISO 7816 specifies the physical characteristics of cards with integrated circuit(s) with contacts. Applies to identification cards of type ID-1 that may contain embossing and/or magnetic stripe, as specified in ISO 7811, parts 1 to 5. This part of ISO 7816 applies to cards that have a physical interface with electrical contacts. It does not define, however, the nature, number and position of the integrated circuits of the cards. NOTE- It is possible that other types of cards with integrated circuit(s), formats or interfaces will be developed in the future, which will imply additions to this part of the ISO 7816 standard, or will require the development of others international standards
