Public transport - Communication between contactless readers and fare media - Part 2: Test plan for ISO/IEC 14443
 N CEN/TS 16794-2

Annotation

This Technical Specification comes as a complement to the technical requirements expressed in CEN/TS 16794-1, Public transport - Communication between contactless readers and fare media - Part 1: Implementation requirements for ISO/IEC 14443, for ensuring contactless communication interoperability between contactless fare management system terminals and contactless fare media hosting a transport ticketing application.

This test plan lists all the test conditions to be performed on a contactless reader or a contactless fare media in order to ensure that all the requirements specified in CEN/TS 16794-1 are met for the device under test.

This Technical Specification is then applicable to:

- any contactless fare management system terminals acting as a PCD contactless reader based on ISO/IEC 14443-series standards;

- any contactless fare media acting as a PICC contactless object based on ISO/IEC 14443-series standards.

This test plan applies solely to the contactless communication layers described in parts 1 to 4 of the ISO/IEC 14443- series of standards. Application-to-application exchanges executed once contactless communication has been established at RF level fall outside the scope of this test plan. However, a transport ticketing application will need to be used so as to make end-to-end transactions during tests on the RF communication layer.

This test plan does not duplicate the contents of ISO/IEC 14443- series or ISO/IEC 10373-6 standards. It makes reference to the ISO/IEC 10373-6 applicable tests methods, specifies the test conditions to be used and describes the additional specific test conditions that may be run.
