How much damage (cracks) is acceptable on a national identity card before it won't be accepted?

Should I be concerned that it won't be accepted as legit ID when traveling abroad or when required to produce ID?
I tried to look for documentation of how much / what kind of damage is accepted on ID documents but couldn't find any. I guess this would be decided at the Schengen space level? If anyone has more success than I, I'd be interested.
