Swedish term or phrase: passerbricka
Can anyone tell me what "passerbrickor" are compared to "passerkort" please concerning access to secured areas? Is a "passerbricka" the same as a "passerkort" but maybe a swipe card rather than one that you just show to someone, for example?
Personknutna passerkort och brickor får ej lämnas ut.
TIA
