ISO / IEC 10373-6 Conformance Solutions






Conformance testing solutions for contactless smart cards and readers

The ISO/IEC 10373-6 is the international test standard for functional validation at the analog and protocols levels of smart cards and devices implementing the ISO 14443 protocol in 13.56 Mhz RF communications. It is the foundation for ensuring the reliability, interoperaiblity of contactless smart card components and systems. The ISO/IEC 10373-6 standard and derived testing solutions allow conformance assessment of:

  • End-user contactless devices (epassports, smart cards (PICC), tags, keyfobs, NFC handsets)
  • Packaged devices (inlays, modules, NFC SIM, MicroSD)
  • Embedded integrated circuits (hardware chips, secure elements)

KEOLABS' ISO/IEC 10373-6 Test Solutions are SCRIPTIS-based solutions that are available to users for "in house" evaluation of their products during development before engaging in a formal certification. Solutions include:

  • ISO/IEC 10373-6 PICC analog test solution: analog test bench and test suite for smart cards (PICC)
  • ISO/IEC 10373-6 PICC digital test solution: digital test bench and test suite for smart cards (PICC). Also includes FeliCa tests.
  • ISO/IEC 10373-6 PCD analog test solution: analog test bench and test suite for smart card readers (PCD)
  • ISO/IEC 10373-6 PCD digital test solution: digital test bench and test suite for smart card readers (PCD)
