French term

vestiaire

French to English Tech/Engineering Finance (general) Technical specs for smart/chip card personalization process
This is from a Cahier des charges technique for a bank.

From what I can tell, this is some sort of format for a personalization data file for personalizing smart/chip bank cards. The data file contains two sorts of record - "Vestiaire" and "Détail". I'm struggling with an accurate EN term for "Vestiaire"; I think it's likely that it's an in-house term or something informal, but I don't know enough about the process to guess.

extract begins:
------------

Les enregistrements « Vestiaire » contiennent toutes les informations spécifiques à un Distributeur nécessaires à la personnalisation des cartes / applications et mailers et à leur conditionnement en vue de leur expédition aux destinataires (code événement, adresse d’envoi, mode de distribution, lignes embossées sur les supports, identifiant de visuel, données piste ISO3, données EMV, type d’OS, etc.)

Les enregistrements « Détail » des fichiers contiennent toutes les informations permettant la personnalisation des cartes / applications et des mailers (enregistrement détail support et enregistrement détail application).

thanks!

Format Record (or Header Information Record)

As I see it, the 'vestiaire' record would appear only once in the file and would consist of a 'header information record' (or Format record) providing information on how the cards/mailers are to be formated for this specific Bank/Card association (in other words how the lines are to be encoded/embossed; in what format the addresses are to be printed etc.) The header/format record is followed by the detail records which on the other hand contain data specific to each card/mailer etc). Thus the machine would access the detail records and process each of the according to the Format record.
