This document specifies:

• protocols and commands;
• other parameters required to initialize communications between a vicinity integrated circuit card and a vicinity coupling device;
• methods to detect and communicate with one card among several cards ("anticollision");
• optional means to ease and speed up the selection of one among several cards based on application criteria.

This document does not preclude the addition of other existing card standards on the vicinity integrated circuit card (VICC), such as ISO/IEC 7816-6 or others listed in this document.
