| WG8 | Contactless Integrated Circuit(s) cards The scope of WG8 is to develop standards for the Contactless Integrated Circuit(s) Card which does not preclude the incorporation of other standard technologies on the card. |
| WG9 | Optical Memory Cards Enhanced OMC technologies enabling more data capacity, fast access and high reliability based on existing standard technologies or new technologies. Software or programming interface for accessing OMC data contents. (Host application program will be able to use this interface for easier implementation. Access method software of OMCs application program.) Physical assignment and /or logical assignment for OMC media use. Logical data structures in OMCs data (file structure etc). |
| WG10 | Motor Vehicle Drivers License and Related Documents Standardization in the field of Motor vehicle driver licenses. |
| WG11 | Application of Biometrics to cards and personal identification Interoperability for inter-industry and government applications using personal identification technologies, e.g. biometrics. Excludes generic biometrics as undertaken by SC37 |
