Funnily enough, there are different ASICs. There is the Red one that lets you go Airside, like onto the aprons and stuff at airports and a grey one that is for, I think it is called, landside. The grey is for areas that are not airside. I personally have a grey one as my ops manager(ATC) said that is all I need... until I have to take the rostered famil flight and that grey baby does not get me onto the flight deck.
Exactly the same checks to get them by the way.
