Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that
are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through
technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of
technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other
international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also
take part in the work.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for
the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject
of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the
Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents) or the IEC
list of patent declarations received (see http://patents.iec.ch).

This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO/IEC 10373-1:2006), which has been
technically revised. It also incorporates the Amendment ISO/IEC 10373-1:2006/Amd.1:2012. The main
changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— three electrostatic discharge tests and the mechanical strength of contacts have been added;
— the ultraviolet light and static magnetic fields tests have been removed;
— the peel strength including the edge of the card test has been added; this test differs from the peel
strength test by allowing layer bond strength measurement at the card edge and the middle area of
the card;
— chemical lists have been revised into tables, which now include the base chemicals for Fuel B and
artificial perspiration solutions (a normative reference was provided in the second edition);
— technical changes have been made to the dynamic bending stress calibration method and opacity
measurement reporting;
— figures, tables and NOTEs have been revised to facilitate understanding of the tests;
— address for availability of optical reference (ORM7810) media has been changed;
— test methods have been refined and relaxed where technically appropriate.
A list of all parts in the ISO/IEC 10373 series can be found on the ISO website.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A
complete listing of these bodies can be found at www.iso.org/members.html.
Introduction
The changes to the last version are a result of industry feedback, harmonisation of standards, and
inter-laboratory studies (round robin studies) performed by experts from SC 17's Working Group 1.
Additional information has been provided as NOTEs within the test methods

5.1.1 General
The purpose of this test is to measure the degree of warpage of a card test sample.
5.1.2 Apparatus
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
The test apparatus shall consist of:
— a flat level rigid plate; (standards.iteh.ai)
— a suitable measurement device or a gaugeISO/IEC with an10373-1:2020
accuracy of ±0,03 mm (0.0012 in).

5.1.3 Procedure 46bfe4cc8a6e/iso-iec-10373-1-2020
Pre-condition the sample card according to 4.2 before testing and conduct the test under the test
environment defined in 4.1.
Place the sample card on the level rigid plate of the measuring apparatus. At least three corners of the
card shall rest on the plate (warpage of the card in convex form to the plate). Use a suitable measurement
device or gauge to determine that no point on the card's surface is at a distance of more than the
permitted maximum warpage from the level rigid plate, as shown in Figure 1. The measurement device
or gauge shall not change the warpage of the card.
NOTE The point of maximum displacement is not necessarily at the centre of the card.

1 measurement device or gauge 3 level rigid plate
2 card
The purpose of this test is to measure the height, width and thickness of a card test sample.
5.2.2.1 Apparatus
The test apparatus shall consist of a micrometer with a flat anvil and spindle whose diameter is within
the range of 3 mm to 8 mm (0.12 in to 0.32 in), having a precision of 0,005 mm (0.00020 in) and a
pressure range of 0,1 N/mm2 to 0,4 N/mm2 (14.5 lbf/in2 to 58.0 lbf/in2).
5.2.2.2 Procedure
Pre-condition the sample card according to 4.2 before testing and conduct the test under the test
environment defined in 4.1.
Use the micrometer to measure the thickness of the card at four points, one in each of the four
quadrants of the card (see Figure 2 for the location of the quadrants). The measurements shall be made
at locations on the card that do not include signature panels, magnetic stripes or contacts (integrated
circuit/s cards), or any other raised area.
The test report shall give the maximum and the minimum values of the four measurements.
