Organization of WG8:

WG8, standing for Working Group 8, is one of the Working Groups within the subcommittee ISO/IEC JTC1/SC17 "Identification Cards" and was established in 1988 to develop standards for contactless chipcards.

WG8 has delegated its projects to three subgroups to achieve efficient and dedicated developments of the standards.

• The subgroup WG8/TF2, or shorter just TF2, standing for Task Force 2, was established in 1994. This group has developed the standard series ISO/IEC 14443 and the related test methods in ISO/IEC 10373, i.e. ISO/IEC 10373-6.
  
  
• The subgroup WG8/TF3, or shorter just TF3, standing for Task Force 3, was established in 1996. This group has developed the standard series ISO/IEC 15693 and the related test methods in ISO/IEC 10373, i.e. ISO/IEC 10373-7.

• The subgroup WG8/TF4, or shorter just TF4, standing for Task Force 4, was established in September 2005. It is going to develop a standard which addresses the approved New Work Item Proposal on an "ISO/IEC 14443 test environment".

Conveners of WG8 and its Task Forces:

WG8:	Mr. Michael HEGENBARTH, Germany
TF2:	Mr. Pascal ROUX, France
TF3:	Mr. Chris STANFORD, U.K.
TF4:	Mr. Francis CHRISTIAN, U.S.A.
