Access card holders

Readers

— devices for recognizing various contact and non-contact access means: key cards, electronic key fobs (like those used in intercoms), bracelets, RFID tags (including NFC in smartphones), etc. In any In this case, before buying such a device, you should separately specify not only the general type of access means for which this or that model is designed, but also the standards it supports.

We emphasize that fingerprint readers are not included in this category — they are listed separately (see the relevant paragraph). The same applies to combined devices — for electronic means of access and biometric data: they are also referred to as fingerprint readers. And if there is a set of keys, the device will already refer to keyboards (they are also described in a separate paragraph).
