CEN/TS 16794-2:2015
(Main)Public transport - Communication between contactless readers and fare media - Part 2: Test plan for ISO/IEC 14443
Public transport - Communication between contactless readers and fare media - Part 2: Test plan for ISO/IEC 14443
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.
The list of test conditions applicable to the device under test will be conditioned by the Information Conformance Statement (ICS) declaration made by the device manufacturer. For each test case, the test conditions are clearly specified in order to determine the pertinence to run or not the test case in accordance with the device capabilities or in accordance with the device manufacturer’s choice.
In order to facilitate the test report issuance, a test report template is included in Annex A of the present test plan.
Although the present test plan aims at becoming the primary basis for certification of contactless communication protocol between contactless reader and contactless object, it does not describe any certification or qualification processes as such processes should be defined between local or global transit industry stakeholders and not within this CEN work group.

Javni prevoz - Komunikacija med brezkontaktnimi čitalniki/terminali in prevoznimi mediji - 2. del: Načrt za preskus po ISO/IEC 14443
Ta tehnična specifikacija dopolnjuje tehnične zahteve standarda FprCEN/TS 16794-1, 1. del: zahteve za izvajanje za ISO/IEC 14443 za zagotavljanje brezkontaktne komunikacijske interoperabilnosti med brezkontaktnimi terminali sistemov upravljanja voznin in brezkontaktnimi prevoznimi mediji z nameščeno aplikacijo za vozovnice za transport.
Ta načrt za preskus navaja vse preskusne pogoje za izvedbo z brezkontaktnimi čitalniki ali brezkontaktnimi prevoznimi mediji, da se zagotovi, da naprava, ki se preskuša, izpolnjuje vse zahteve, ki so določene s standardom FprCEN/TS 16794-1.
Ta tehnična specifikacija nato velja za:
– vse brezkontaktne terminale sistemov upravljanja voznin, ki delujejo kot brezkontaktni čitalnik PCD, na osnovi skupine standardov ISO/IEC 14443.
– vse brezkontaktne prevozne medije, ki delujejo kot brezkontaktni predmet PICC, na osnovi skupine standardov ISO/IEC 14443.
Ta načrt za preskus velja izključno za brezkontaktne komunikacijske plasti, ki so opisane v delih 1–4 skupine standardov ISO/IEC 14443. Izmenjave med aplikacijami, ki so izvedene po vzpostavitvi brezkontaktne komunikacije na radiofrekvenčni stopnji, niso zajete v tem načrtu za preskus. Kljub temu bo potrebno uporabiti aplikacijo za vozovnice za transport za izvedbo celotnih transakcij med preskusom na radiofrekvenčni komunikacijski plasti.
Ta načrt za preskus ne podvaja vsebine skupine standardov ISO/IEC 14443 ali standarda ISO/IEC 10373 6. Sklicuje se na veljavne preskusne metode standarda ISO/IEC 10373 6, določa preskusne pogoje, ki jih je treba uporabiti, in opisuje dodatne posebne preskusne pogoje, ki se lahko izvedejo.
Seznam preskusnih pogojev, ki veljajo za napravo, ki se preskuša, bo pogojen z izjavo o skladnosti informacij (ICS) proizvajalca naprave. Preskusni pogoji so jasno navedeni za vsak preskusni primer, da se določi primernost za izvajanje ali neizvajanje preskusnega primera v skladu z zmogljivostmi naprave ali izbiro proizvajalca naprave.
Za olajšanje izdaje preskusnega poročila je v dodatku A priložen vzorec preskusnega poročila tega preskusnega načrta.
Čeprav je namen tega preskusnega poročila, da bi postalo osnova za certificiranje brezkontaktnega komunikacijskega protokola med brezkontaktnim čitalnikom in brezkontaktnim predmetom, ne opisuje nobenih certifikatov ali postopkov za kvalifikacijo, saj naj bi bili taki postopki določeni med lokalnimi ali globalnimi interesnimi stranmi tranzitne industrije in ne znotraj te delovne skupine CEN.

Introduction
This test plan represents a necessary step in a process designed to ensure contactless communications
interoperability between fare management system terminals and any fare media liable to be accepted by
them. The end-purpose of this document is to provide the test conformance plan that needs to be performed
to ensure compliancy of fare management system terminals and any fare media in accordance to
CEN/TS 16794-1, Public transport - Communication between contactless readers and fare media - Part 1:
Implementation requirements for ISO/IEC 14443.
This test plan is not designed to repeat or duplicate the referenced specifications and associated test method
(essentially ISO/IEC 14443 and ISO/IEC 10373-6 standards) but to list the test conditions to be performed in
addition to the ones already described in the ISO/IEC 10373-6 standard and to define their testing and use
conditions.
This test plan includes the following key clauses:
— Clause 5 describes the test environment;
— Clause 6 sets out the analog test plan for fare management system terminals;
— Clause 7 sets out the analog test plan for contactless fare media;
— Clause 8 sets out the protocol and digital test plan for fare management system terminals;
— Clause 9 sets out the protocol and digital test plan for contactless fare media.
1 Scope
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.
The list of test conditions applicable to the device under test will be conditioned by the Information
Conformance Statement (ICS) declaration made by the device manufacturer. For each test case, the test
conditions are clearly specified in order to determine the pertinence to run or not the test case in accordance
with the device capabilities or in accordance with the device manufacturer’s choice.
In order to facilitate the test report issuance, a test report template is included in Annex A of the present test
plan.
Although the present test plan aims at becoming the primary basis for certification of contactless
communication protocol between contactless reader and contactless object, it does not describe any
certification or qualification processes as such processes should be defined between local or global transit
industry stakeholders and not within this CEN work group.

6 PCD – Analog test plan
6.1 PCD general test conditions
Unless otherwise specified, each test shall be executed:
— with Reference PICCs 1, 2 and 3 at every position of range A (Position A1 to A5),
— with Reference PICC 3 at every position of range B (Position B1 to B3),
which makes a total of 18 test conditions.
For Common Readers, the range A is limited from position A1 to A2 and the range B is limited from position
B1 to B2. Consequently, for common readers, tests specified in several positions of range A and of range B
shall be done only in positions A1, A2, B1 and B2.
As specified in CEN/TS 16794-1:2015, 9.2.3.2, if the measurements cannot be taken from Position A1 then
the measurements shall be taken from Position A1' where the Reference PICC is in contact with the PCD
device under test.
As specified in CEN/TS 16794-1:2015, 9.2.3.4, if the measurements cannot be taken from Position B1 then
the measurements shall be taken from Position B1' where the Reference PICC is in contact with the PCD
device under test.
6.2 Conformance of the PCD field strength
6.2.1 General
The maximum and minimum PCD field strength tests shall be done during an interval of time when the PCD
produces a field. One possibility is to use an oscilloscope and measure the field strength during the interval of
time preceding a request or wake-up command. If the PCD under test provides a specific "continuous
unmodulated field" mode, another possibility is to use a voltmeter.
6.2.2 TC_PCD_A_MaxFS: PCD maximum field strength
