"A national standard for smart card identification has been launched to ensure multiple cards can be read by a single reader. Spring Singapore, a government body that establishes industry standards, said one reader is all that will be needed in the future to scan e-passports and ID cards or devices based on a smart card chip, that are aligned with the standard."
