PUBLIC TRANSPORT ID TESTING AT ITS BEST

 

BSI TR-03150 Part 1 – Plan for Testing of Contactless Media for Conformance with CEN/TS 16794:2017

Latest Version

Edition 1.0 from 2018-02-27

Summary

CEN/TS 16794:2017 is the first specification for contactless readers and media which was formally synchronized with NFC Forum’s Analog 2.0 specification for mobile devices. It will ensure technical interoperability between conformant media and readers in the Transport sector and also with NFC mobile devices which conform to NFC Forum’s Analog 2.0 specification.

Which devices can be tested against this standard?
  • Contactless Media such as Smart Cards, Smart Tickets, Tokens, Wearables
Which test methods of this standard can be performed at Arsenal?

Most of the below mentioned test methods must be performed at several H-fields from 1.5A/m up 7.5A/m and at three temperatures (-10°C, 23°C and 50°C).

Analog Tests

  • 3.1 PICC Operating Field Strength
  • 3.2 PICC Transmission
  • 3.3 PICC Reception
  • 3.4 PICC Maximum Loading Effect
  • 3.5 PICC EMD Level and Low EMD Time
  • 3.6 Alternating Magnetic Field

Digital Tests

  • 4.1 PICC Digital Conformance to ISO/IEC 14443 Standard Series
  • 4.2 PICC Support of REQB/WUPB Allowing Extended ATQB
  • 4.3 Recommendations on RFU Bits and Values Reception Test
  • 4.4 Field Ramp-ups and Shut-offs
    • Which test tools are used for testing of this standard by Arsenal?
