Just because it can read that certain standard doesn't mean it will read 
HID iClass cards.  iClass cards hold encrypted data on them, but a simple 
google search told me that even the encryption can be cracked (
http://www.openpcd.org/HID_iClass_demystified,  
http://static.usenix.org/events/woot11/tech/final_files/Garcia.pdf).  From 
only reading the abstract and glancing over the paper they do say "Finally, 
we show that recovering an iClass
master key is not harder than a chosen plaintext attack on single DES".  Im 
assuming since the hardware used in android phones that can access that ISO 
standard would in theory be able to read an iClass card if you can program 
one to do so.
