    The ISO7816 standard are separated in 3 different parts

     - ISO7816-1 which define the physical characteristics of the card.
     - ISO7816-2 which define dimension and contact position of the card.
     - ISO7816-3 which define the electical signals and transmission protocols.

     The following organisations should be contacted for more details:
