Abstract
The invention relates to a flexible data support, comprising a support with at least first and second sheets (A,B,C) which can pivot relative to each other about an axis (P) along the edges of said sheets and a contactless chip housed in said support and comprising an electronic circuit (IC) and coupling elements (A, A) connected to said electronic circuit distributed about the first and second sheets which may be electromagnetically coupled to an external reading station. The electronic circuit comprises an information exchange section for exchange of information with the exterior, characterised in that said support is provided with a test device for verification by means of signals emitted by the coupling elements of a geometrical condition of the angular configuration of the first and second sheets and to generate, as function of the result of said test, a signal authorizing or preventing the activation of the exchange section of the electronic circuit.
