InterNational Committee for Information Technology Standards

B10 - Identification Cards and Related Devices
INCITS/B10 is responsible for the development of national and international standards in the area of identification cards and related devices for use in inter-industry applications and international interchange, e.g.:
  • Physical characteristics and test methods for identification cards
  • Integrated circuit cards with contacts
  • Contactless integrated circuit cards
  • High and low coercivity mag stripe cards
  • Optical memory cards
  • Machine readable passports & visas
  • Health care identificatoin card (national project only)
  • Thin flexible cards and tickets with mag stripes (new International project)
  • Drivers License/Identification cards (new national project)

This technical committee is the U.S. TAG to ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC17 and provides recommendations on U.S. positions to the JTC 1 TAG.

 



 B10 Officers:




INCITS/B10 has four Task Groups that have been assigned to facilitate work in specific segments:
INCITS/B10.5 works on projects related to Contactless IC Cards
B10.5 Officers:

INCITS/B10.8  serves as the US Tag to the ISO/IEC JTC1/SC17 WG10 efforts on International Standardization of Driver License documents.  

The international standard establishes guidelines in the format and content of motor vehicle driver licenses (DLs) to support the requirements of national or regional motor vehicle authorities and international conventions. It creates a common basis for international use and recognition of DLs without impeding individual national and regional authorities in taking care of their specific needs.  DLs and related documents are defined within the standard, in a broad framework of categories as documents for separate uses or function including passenger vehicles, commercial transport vehicles, other related traffic safety applications (e.g. transport driver recorder card) and other card functions at the discretion of individual national/regional motor vehicle authorities. They can be enhanced by the adoption of machine-readable technologies.

 B10.8 Officers:
INCITS/B10.11 was established from the merger of INCITS Task Groups B10.3 Card Durability and related Test Methods and B10.6 Physical Characteristics, Magnetic Stripes, and Test Methods.
B10.11 Officers:
INCITS/B10.12 addresses the standardization of a layered set of common interfaces and interactions between integrated circuit cards and applications to include generic multi-domain services.
