APDU and TPDU are defined in ISO/IEC 7816 part 4. It is probably worth
reminding the list members who have recently joined that ISO standards are
copyright by ISO, and every copy must be paid for. However, there are two
new developments:

- ISO (and some national standards organisations) are trialling the online
sale of electronic copies of some standards (7816 included) at a fixed price
for each part of a standard (believed to be about US $30 per document) -
www.iso.ch is the place to start if your local standards organisation isn't
helpful.

- there is a rewrite of part of 7816 in progress, and you may be able to get
hold of the first voting draft via your national representatives to ISO; the
changes to part 3 are mainly the addition of the definition of APDU formats
in a much clearer manner than was used in part 4 in the present published
edition, and the changes to part 4 make it a compendium of most of the
commands (although file management commands - create, delete, etc - are in
part 9 and some crypto commands are in part 8).
