National bodies that are members of isO or IEC participa te in the development of International Standards through technical committees establishe d by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical com- mitteescollaborateinfieldsofmutual interest.Otherinternationalorgan izations, governmenta I and non-governmental, in liaison with iSO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and !EC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. Draft International Standards adopted bythe jointtechnical committee are circulated to national bodiesforvot- 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO/IEC 10536-2 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee 1So/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 17, ldentificationcardsand relateddevices.
