Scope

ISO 20302:2006 is designed to confirm, via a numbering system and registration procedure, the identities of both the healthcare application provider and the health card holder in order that information may be exchanged by using cards issued for healthcare service.
ISO 20302:2006 focuses on the machine-readable cards of ID-1 type defined in ISO/IEC 7810 that are issued for healthcare services provided in a service area that crosses the national borders of two or more countries/areas.
ISO 20302:2006 applies to healthcare data cards where the issuer and the application provider are the same party.
ISO 20302:2006 applies directly, or refers, to existing ISO standards for physical characteristics and recording techniques. Security issues follow the requirements of each healthcare data card system.
In addition, this International Standard regulates the visual information written on the healthcare data card.
