This Indian Standard (Part 6) which is identical with ISO/IEC 10373-6 : 2016 ‘Identification cards — Test methods — Part 6: Proximity cards’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) jointly was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Computer Hardware, Peripherals and Identification Cards Sectional Committee and approval of the Electronics and Information Technology Division Council.

Part 2 Cards with magnetic stripes

Part 3 Integrated circuit cards with contacts and related interface devices

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:

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

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