ISO/IEC 18328-1:2015描述了带有ICC管理设备的ICC的总体架构。ISO/IEC 18328-1:2015是一系列国际标准之一，概述了ISO/IEC 18328其他部分涵盖和标准化的内容和边界。ISO/IEC 18328本部分的一般原则是，ICC管理设备的所有活动均由IC卡控制。当ICC管理的设备位于卡外时，该原则也适用。ISO/IEC 18328-1:2015适用于与通信接口技术无关的所有类型的卡。

ISO/IEC 18328-1:2015 describes the general architecture of an ICC with ICC-managed devices. ISO/IEC 18328-1:2015 is one of a series of International Standards which outlines the content and the boundaries covered and standardised by the other parts of ISO/IEC 18328. The general principle of this part of ISO/IEC 18328 is that all activities regarding the ICC-managed devices are controlled by the card-IC. This principle also applies when ICC-managed devices are outside the card. ISO/IEC 18328-1:2015 is applicable for all kind of cards independent from interface technology for communication.
