Description: International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/ International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 7816: Identification Cards - Integrated Circuit Cards with Contacts is a standard related to electronic identification (ID) cards, especially smart cards. ISO/IEC 7816-1:2011 specifies the physical characteristics of integrated circuit cards with contacts, which apply to ID cards of the ID-1 card type. These cards can include embossing and/or a magnetic stripe and/or tactile identifier mark as specified in ISO/IEC 7811. Test methods are specified in ISO/IEC 10373-1.

ISO/IEC 7816-1:2011 applies to cards which have a physical interface with electrical contacts. It does not, however, define the nature, number and position of the integrated circuits in the cards.
