Introduction
Machine readable cards facilitate the provision of a growing variety of services across Europe. The purpose of
EN 1332 is to increase the accessibility of these services for the benefit of consumers. This will be achieved
by facilitating the inter-sector and cross-border interoperability of machine readable cards and to do so with
the maximum possible degree of user-friendliness.
EN 1332 addresses the needs of all users, including people with special needs, for example the aged, minors,
the disabled, the visually impaired, those with learning difficulties, first time users, those not conversant with
the local language.
EN 1332 specifies:
a) the design principles for the user interface (including symbols) to be incorporated into design of card
operated equipment, but not the machine operations associated with the selection and delivery of goods
or services;
b) a tactile identifier to be incorporated into the design of machine readable cards;
c) a standard layout for the keypads of card operated equipment;
d) coding of user requirements for people with special needs.
e) raised tactile symbols for differentiation of application.
The contents of EN 1332 are generically based, not sector specific, and cover card operated equipment. It is
recognised that the equipment may also be operated by other means, such as the insertion of notes and coins,
but the scope of this standard has been, as indicated, narrowly defined.

1 Scope
The scenario addressed by this European Standard is one where the cardholder operates the card accepting
equipment (e.g. a cash dispenser, ticket machine, vending machine, mass transportation).
It is assumed that the card is a card conforming to ISO/IEC 7810.
Increasing use is being made of machine readable plastic cards. However, some potential user groups such
as people who are elderly, disabled, blind or visually impaired could have difficulty in using existing card
layouts to distinguish between cards with different functions such as a bank, telephone, pre-payment or social
security card.
This standard addresses the needs of users who have difficulty reading non-embossed information on plastic
cards, including persons with special needs, for example older people, minors, disabled people, visually
impaired people, those with learning difficulties, first time users, and those not conversant with the local
language.
The aim of this standard is to specify the design principles necessary for raised tactile symbols to be
incorporated into machine readable cards. This proposed standard, in Clause 6, specifies the form,
dimensions and location of tactile identifiers for application with ID-1 cards which do not contain other raised
symbols. For cards which already contain raised symbols, an alternative system is specified in Clause 7.
It is the responsibility of the card issuer to decide which raised symbols to add to identify applications.
The alternative system, as specified in Clause 7, should only be used when the system specified in Clause 6
is not suitable (e.g. when the card already contains embossing). Symbols that comply with Clause 7 should be
negotiated between cardholder and issuer.
Raised symbols could be introduced in multi applications cards only if issuer can assure that each of these
applications will still be active during the card life cycle.
Annex A specifies the procedure for assigning symbols according to this standard.
Raised symbols should only be used on a card after insuring that they will not interfere with the operation of
the card (e.g. antenna for contactless card).
