This Indian Standard (Part 6) (Second Revision) which is identical with ISO/IEC 7816-6 : 2016 ‘Identification cards — Integrated circuit cards — Part 6: Interindustry data elements for interchange’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) jointly was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Computer Hardware, Peripherals and Identification Cards Sectional Committee and approval of the Electronics and Information Technology Division Council.

This standard was originally published in 2003 and subsequently revised in 2013. The original version of this standard was identical with ISO/IEC 7816-6 : 1996 issued by ISO and IEC. The first revision was based on ISO/IEC 7816-6 : 2004. The second revision of this standard has been undertaken to align it with the latest version of ISO/IEC 7816-6.

Other parts in this series are:

Part 1 Physical characteristics

Part 2 Dimensions and location of the contacts

Part 3 Electrical interface and transmission protocols

Part 4 Organization, security and commands for interchange

Part 5 Registration of application providers

Part 7 Interindustry commands for Structured Card Query Language (SCQL)

Part 8 Commands for security operations

Part 9 Commands for card management

Part 10 Electronic signals and answer to reset for synchronous cards

Part 11 Personal verification through biometric methods

Part 12 Cards with contacts — USB electrical interface and operating procedures

Part 13 Commands for application management in a multi-application environment

The text of ISO/IEC Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
