Introduction
ISO/IEC 7816 is a series of International Standards specifying integrated circuit cards and the use of
such cards for interchange. These cards are identification cards intended for information exchange
negotiated between the outside world and the integrated circuit in the card. As a result of an information
exchange, the card delivers information (computation result, stored data) and/or modifies its content
(data storage, event memorization).
— Five parts are specific to cards with galvanic contacts and three of them specify electrical interfaces.
— ISO/IEC 7816-1 specifies physical characteristics for cards with contacts.
— ISO/IEC 7816-2 specifies dimensions and location of the contacts.
— ISO/IEC 7816-3 specifies electrical interface and transmission protocols for asynchronous cards.
— ISO/IEC 7816-10 specifies electrical interface and answer to reset for synchronous cards.
— ISO/IEC 7816-12 specifies electrical interface and operating procedures for USB cards.
— All the other parts are independent from the physical interface technology. They apply to cards
accessed by contacts and/or by radio frequency.
— ISO/IEC 7816-4 specifies organization, security and commands for interchange.
— ISO/IEC 7816-5 specifies registration of application providers.
— ISO/IEC 7816-6 specifies interindustry data elements for interchange.
— ISO/IEC 7816-7 specifies commands for structured card query language.
— ISO/IEC 7816-8 specifies commands for security operations.
— ISO/IEC 7816-9 specifies commands for card management.
— ISO/IEC 7816-11 specifies personal verification through biometric methods.
— ISO/IEC 7816-13 specifies commands for handling the life cycle of applications.
— ISO/IEC 7816-15 specifies cryptographic information application.
ISO/IEC 10536 specifies access by close coupling. ISO/IEC 14443 and ISO/IEC 15693 specify access by
radio frequency. Such cards are also known as contactless cards.

Part 6:
Interindustry data elements for interchange
1 Scope
This part of ISO/IEC 7816 specifies directly or by reference, data elements, including composite data
elements, that may be used in interindustry interchange.
It identifies the following characteristics of each data element:
— identifier;
— name;
— description and reference;
— format and coding (if not available in other ISO standards or parts of ISO/IEC 7816).
The layout of each data element is described as seen at the interface between the interface device
and the card.
This part of ISO/IEC 7816 provides the definition of data elements without consideration of any
restrictions on the usage of the data elements.
It does not cover the internal implementation within the card and/or the outside world. With
the exception of login data objects (see 6.5), only application class tags are eligible in this part of
ISO/IEC 7816 .

5 Maintenance of interindustry data objects
It is the intention that every interindustry data object, specified at the time of publication, should be
listed in this part of ISO/IEC 7816. To allow the introduction, deletion or amendment of any data object,
the following procedures shall be adopted.
— Interindustry data objects from ISO/IEC 7816 — if any part of ISO/IEC 7816 introduces new
data objects, then the normal ballot process shall approve them. Following publication of that
part of ISO/IEC 7816, these data objects will be incorporated into this part of ISO/IEC 7816 at the
next revision.
— Interindustry data objects from other standards — for such data objects, an amendment to
this part of ISO/IEC 7816 will be required and this will be subject to the normal ISO/IEC JTC 1
voting procedures. Following successful ballot the data objects will be incorporated into this part
of ISO/IEC 7816.
— Allocation authority — once an application class tag is allocated to a norm as described above,
this norm becomes the allocation authority for all context-specific Data Objects it endorses and
encapsulates under the aforementioned tag.
6 Specific interindustry data elements
According to its needs, any application may use the following interindustry data elements and templates.
6.1 Name of an individual
Referenced by tag ‘5B’, this interindustry data element consists of up to 39 bytes; each byte is a character
as defined in ISO/IEC 7501-1. The data element consists of surname, i.e. family name, given name(s), i.e.
forename(s), name suffix, e.g. Jr., number, and filler(s), all coded according to ISO/IEC 8859-1.
National languages with non-Latin characters shall be transliterated or transcribed into the Latin
alphabet using the appropriate ISO standard. In cases where names cannot be shown in full or a special
alphabet is needed or the transliteration or transcription is not sufficient, the qualified name template
should be used.
6.2 Proprietary login data
Referenced by tag ‘5E’, this interindustry data element consists of login data with proprietary structures
not specified in ISO/IEC 7816.
6.3 Magnetic stripe data
The coding of the magnetic stripe data is as follows:
— referenced respectively by tags ‘5F21’, ‘5F22’ and ‘5F23’, these interindustry data elements shall code
card tracks 1, 2 and 3. Such a tag shall be used when the data element is identical to the data coded
on the corresponding track on the magnetic stripe of the card (see ISO/IEC 7813 and ISO/IEC 4909);
— referenced respectively by tags ‘56’, ‘57’ and ‘58’, these interindustry data elements shall code
application tracks 1, 2 and 3. Such a tag shall be used when, while formatted according to ISO/IEC 7813
and ISO/IEC 4909, the data element may differ from the data coded on the corresponding track of
the magnetic stripe of the card.
6.4 PIN usage policy
Referenced by tag ‘5F2F’, this interindustry data element shall consist of two bytes. It lists the tests
the terminal shall perform in order to determine whether a personal identification number (PIN) is
applicable to the current transaction, and, therefore, whether the terminal should prompt for the PIN. If
© ISO/IEC 2015 – All rights reserved 3

ISO/IEC FDIS 7816-6:2015(E)
set to one, bit 8 of the first byte specifies that a PIN applies to this application and the terminal should
prompt for the PIN. The meaning of the other fifteen bits is application-dependent. If all bits are set to
zero, then the terminal should not prompt for the PIN. If bit 8 of the first byte is set to one or if any test
implies a PIN, but the PIN cannot be presented, then the action to take is application-dependent.
6.5 Login template
Referenced by tag ‘6A’, this interindustry template shall consist of one or more primitive data objects.
Within the login template, the context-specific class (first byte in the range ‘80’ to ‘BF’) is reserved
for login data objects such as qualifiers, numbers, texts and delay indicators, as listed in Table 1 and
specified hereafter.
Table 1 — Login data objects
Tag (hex) Meaning
6A Interindustry template for nesting login data objects with the following tags
80 Qualifier
81 Number
82 Text
83, 84 Delay indicators
In this context, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC17 reserves any other data object of the context-specific class (first byte from
‘80’ to ‘BF’)
— Qualifier — referenced by tag ‘80’ in a login template, this data element shall consist of one to
nine bytes: a mandatory first byte coding a rank, followed by up to eight optional bytes coding a
mnemonic. It shall qualify the subsequent objects in the template until the next qualifier, if any.
— The rank is a number from 0 to 255. If two or more qualifiers have the same rank within the
same context, then only the set of objects qualified by the most recent one is valid.
— The mnemonic is a string of up to eight bytes consisting of 7-bit characters (bit 8 set to 0; see
ISO/IEC 646) to display at the man-machine interface.
— Number — Referenced by tag ‘81’ in a login template, this data element shall consist of an even
number of quartets where each quartet codes one character for representing a telephone number
according to Table 2.
Table 2 — Telephone number
Quartet Character Meaning
‘0’ to ‘9’ 0 to 9 Decimal digits
‘A’ ( Opening bracket
‘B’ ) Closing bracket
‘C’ C Requirement for connecting to the line before continuing
‘D’ + Introduction to an international telephone number
‘E’ - If first, introduction of a number to use without prefix
If not first, requirement for a delay (two seconds) before continuing
‘F’ Reserved for padding
— Text — referenced by tag ‘82’ in a login template, this data element shall consist of one or more
bytes where each byte codes one character. Bit 8 sets the difference between data characters (bit 8
set to zero) and control characters (bit 8 set to one). The byte string consists of one or more strings
4 © ISO/IEC 2015 – All rights reserved

ISO/IEC FDIS 7816-6:2015(E)
of data characters (7-bit character, see ISO/IEC 646) separated by strings of control characters. The
following control characters are defined.
— ‘80’ — a message has to be received before sending the next character.
— ‘C0’ — a modulation has to be present before sending the next character.
— ‘8X’ — x characters have to be received in echo before waiting for a message.
— Delay indicators — referenced by tag ‘83’ or ‘84’ in a login template, this data element shall consist
of one byte as specified in Table 3.
— When present, a delay indicator data object with tag ‘83’ fixes the time for detecting an end of
message. The default value shall be two seconds.
— When present, a delay indicator data object with tag ‘84’ fixes the time for detecting an absence
of response. The default value shall be 60 seconds.

6.9 Display control template
Referenced by tag ‘7F20’, this interindustry template may contain one or more data objects, the value of
which, either directly or indirectly through templates, is not intended to be displayed and should only
be used, when relevant, for processing of transmission.
7 Identification of integrated circuit manufacturers
7.1 General
This Clause specifies
— a numbering system for integrated circuit manufacturer identifiers, and
— rules for registration of integrated circuit manufacturers and rules for assignment of identifiers
to identify manufacturers of integrated circuits to be embedded in contact and/or contactless
integrated circuits cards. The assigned values of the integrated circuit manufacturer identifiers will
form the register, published as SC 17 Standing Document 5.
Applications for a number may be made using the form in Annex A.
7.2 Identifier
The identifier is referenced by tag ‘5F4D’. It may be present in pre-issuing data (compact header ‘6Y’ in
the historical bytes and interindustry tag ‘46’ in EF.ATR/INFO) on a proprietary basis.
NOTE In amendment 1 to the first edition of this part of ISO/IEC 7816, tag ‘5F4B’ references an integrated
circuit manufacturer identifier (a data element of one byte). In the first edition of ISO/IEC 7816-9, tag ‘5F4B’
references a certificate holder authorization (a data element of five or more bytes). Consequently, tag ‘5F4B’ is
now deprecated in ISO/IEC 7816 (all parts).
The identifier consists of one byte where the bits are not all set to one; the value ‘FF’ is reserved for
future extension. Longer identifiers are reserved for future use by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 17.
The identifier byte shall be used according to Table 4.
Table 4 — Identifier byte
Value Meaning
‘00’ Reserved for future use by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 17
‘01’ – ‘7E’ Reserved for the register
‘7F’, ‘80’ Reserved for future use by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 17
‘81’ – ‘FE’ Proprietary
‘FF’ Reserved for future extension by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 17
6 © ISO/IEC 2015 – All rights reserved

ISO/IEC FDIS 7816-6:2015(E)
7.3 Rules for assignment
1)
The ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 17 Secretariat will assign and register the integrated circuit manufacturer
identifiers (range ‘01’ to ‘7E’) according to the following rules:
a) the assignment is made upon request from any integrated circuit manufacturer or any
interested party;
b) the form contained in Annex A should be used to request an assignment;
c) a single number shall be assigned to each manufacturer (next available number);
d) the assigned values shall form the register provided in SC 17 Standing Document 5;
e) SC 17 Standing Document 5 will be updated as required;
f) SC 17 shall, at a periodicity of 12 months, check the content of SC 17 Standing Document 5 for accuracy;
g) a copy of SC 17 Standing Document 5 shall be available at the SC 17 website http://isotc.iso.
