Annex A (informative) Read compatibility of magnetic
        stripes (ISO/IEC 7811-2 and ISO/IEC 7811-6)
Annex B (normative) Signal amplitude measurements
Annex C (informative) Magnetic stripe abrasivity

Describes requirements for a low coercivity magnetic stripe (including any protective overlay) on an identification card, the encoding technique and coded character sets. It takes into consideration both human and machine aspects and states minimum requirements.
