Our complete range of laboratory tools facilitate design validation, compliance and interoperability testing of contactless, proximity smart cards (Operating at 13.56 MHz, range of 0-10 cm) and readers, which use the ISO 14443 radio frequency communication protocol. It is widely used in contactless card systems for identification, access control and payment. Supported sub-protocols include:

• ISO 14443 Type A – (MIFARE, LEGIC, biometric passports)

• ISO 14443 Type B – (Calypso, RFID credit cards)

This protocol is also supported by mobile platforms implementing the NFCIP-2 protocol.

For pre-certification of silicon and cards, tools include our PICC analog test series and a complete test assembly developed in strict accordance with the test standards:

• ISO 10363 – Physical test specification

• ICAO – Tests for e-passports specified by the International Civil Aviation Organization
