CSA Group Identification Cards - Contactless Integrated Circuit(s) Cards - Part 2: Dimensions and Location of Coupling Areas (Adopted ISO/IEC 10536-2:1995)

Scope This part of ISO/IEC 10536 specifies the dimensions, location, nature and assignment of each of the coupling areas to be provided for interfacing slot or surface card coupling devices (CCDs) with contactless integrated circuit(s) cards (CICCs) of the ID-1 card type. This part of ISO/IEC 10536 does not specify: The dimensions, location and assignment of coupling elements on the CICC The dimensions, location and assignment of coupling elements on the CCD The means of generating coupling fields. This part of ISO/IEC 10536 is to be used in conjunction with ISO/IEC 10536-1. Annex A shows the determination of the X and Y axes which are used in relating the field locations to the CICC. Annex B shows examples of coupling elements in both a CICC and a CCD. The dimensions used throughout this part of ISO/IEC 10536 are shown as nominal and expressed in millimetres; the figures shown are not drawn to scale. Note: Other types of contactless integrated circuit(s) cards, formats or interfaces, which offer a variety of operating distances, may be developed in the future, which will call for additions to be made to this part of ISO/IEC 10536 or, will require other International Standards to be prepared.
