Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the
International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for
worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of IS0 or IEC
participate in the development of International Standards through technical
committees established by the respective organization to deal with
particular fields of technical activity. IS0 and IEC technical committees
collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with IS0 and IEC, also take
part in the work.
In the field of information technology, IS0 and IEC have established a joint
technical committee, ISOAEC JTC 1. Draft International Standards adopted
by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 %
of the national bodies casting a vote.
International Standard ISOAEC 7501-2 was prepared by Joint Technical
Committee ISOAEC JTC 1, information technology, Subcommittee SC 17,
ldentifica tion cards and related devices.
