ANNEXURE XI THE CENTRAL MOTOR VEHICLES RULES, 1989 647

(e) Dynamic Bending : The cards shall be tested for dynamic bending
as per the procedure outlined in ISO/IEC 10373-1 section 5.8. The
hv and hw parameters shall be used as defined in ISO/IEC 10373-1
(i.e. 2 mm and 20 mm for bending along axis B, and 1mm and 10mm
for bending along axis A). The cards shall continue to work
electronically after the test is performed with 250 bending each
along axis A and axis B and with card contacts facing upwards as
well as downwards. The cards shall be tested after the cycle of 1000
bending tests for the following, namely:—
(i) The dimensions of the card.
(ii) Card warpage and surface distortion.
(iii) The presence of Answer to Reset (ATR) or Answer to Select
(ATS) sequence after insertion in the ISO7816-3 compliant
interface device (IFD) or ISO14443-4 compliant proximity cou-
pling device (PCD), as the case may be.
(iv) The contact resistance being within the limits for all contact
pads for an ICC.
(f) Dynamic Torsional Stress : The cards shall be subjected to dynamic
torsional stress test as outlined in ISO/IEC 10373-1 section 5.9. The
parameters shall be as defined in ISO/IEC 10373-1. After the cycle torsional
stress application, the cards shall be tested for the following, namely:—
(i) The dimension of the card.
(ii) Card warpage and surface distortion.
(iii) The presence of Answer to Reset (ATR) or Answer to Select (ATS)
sequence after insertion in the ISO7816-3 compliant interface device
(IFD) or ISO14443-4 compliant proximity coupling device (PCD), as
the case may be.
(iv) The contact resistance being within the limits for all contact pads for
an ICC.
(g) Stability against UV Exposure : The pre-printed layers of the card material
shall show no visible degradation of the print quality under the following
conditions, namely:—
(i) Exposure to UV lighting for 21 minutes at UV irradiance of 0.12
2
mW/mm at 254 nm wavelength.
(ii) The cards shall be exposed to such UV light source as per the testing
procedure defined in ISO/IEC 10373-1 section 5.11. After the exposure
cycle, the cards shall be tested for the following, namely:—
(a) The dimension of the card.
(b) Card warpage and surface distortion.
(c) Bending stiffness test.
(d) The contact resistance being within the limits for all contact pads
for an ICC.
(e) Visual print quality for the pre-printed layers, which shall not show
any visible degradation, discolouring, change of surface finish or
delamination.
