No, they have. As a specific example, ETSI TS 102 221 contains enough of ISO/IEC 7816-2, 7816-3, and 7816-4 that one can implement a compatible device.
- MaxBarraclough 6y agoInteresting, thanks. Do ETSI do this in the name of making the ISO standard freely accessible, or is it done for some other reason?
- jfim 6y agoNo, from what I understand it's done to standardize a lot of telecom stuff across Europe. I think they're somehow related to the GSM, but I haven't been in the telecom industry in well over a decade so my memory is fuzzy there.
