This International Standard is designed to confirm, via a numbering system and registration procedure, the
identities of both the healthcare application provider and the health card holder in order that information may
be exchanged by using cards issued for healthcare service.
This International Standard focuses on the machine-readable cards of ID-1 type defined in ISO/IEC 7810 that
are issued for healthcare services provided in a service area that crosses the national borders of two or more
countries/areas.
This International Standard applies to healthcare data cards where the issuer and the application provider are
the same party.
This International Standard applies directly, or refers, to existing ISO standards for physical characteristics
and recording techniques. Security issues follow the requirements of each healthcare data card system.
In addition, this International Standard regulates the visual information written on the healthcare data card.
