scope:

This part of ISO/IEC 24789 specifies methods of evaluation for ID-1 identification card service life in the applications referred to in ISO/IEC 24789-1. It contains no additional or changed requirements for the ID-1 card properties defined in other applicable standards.

NOTE 1 At the time of publishing this first edition, there is limited data to show direct equivalence to any measure of actual field use conditions. It will not be possible to establish any such equivalence until and unless a degree of quantitative correlation has been established for the ID card construction in question.

NOTE 2 For the convenience of certain users, non-S.I. equivalents are given for some quantity values where these are in common use in the ID card industry. These equivalents appear in parentheses and are for information only.
