Overview - ISO/IEC 19369:2024 (NFCIP-2 test methods)
ISO/IEC 19369:2024 specifies standardized test methods for NFCIP-2 implementations (ISO/IEC 21481) and references applicable test procedures from ISO/IEC 10373-6, ISO/IEC 10373-7 and ISO/IEC 23917. The second edition updates mode-selection tests, aligns test methods with ISO/IEC 21481, adds clause definitions and a normative test report template (Annex A). This standard is intended for conformance and interoperability testing of NFC devices and readers that support NFCIP-2.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and normative references: Uses ISO/IEC 9646 conformance testing framework and leverages contactless testing parts (10373 series), ISO/IEC 21481 (NFCIP-2), and ISO/IEC 23917 test cases.
- Test environment and apparatus: Defines an NFCIP-2 test apparatus composed of an Upper Tester (UT) and Lower Tester (LT) and the abstract test model for communication with the Implementation Under Test (IUT).
- RF field detection and generation: Verifies that an IUT (when configured as PCD, VCD or an NFC initiator in passive mode) does not generate an RF field while an external field is present, and does generate its field when no external field is detected.
- Mode selection and switching tests: Validates IUT behavior for these modes:
- PICC mode (proximity card/object) - response to REQA/REQB and ATQA/ATQB within a 1 ms window and passing ISO/IEC 10373-6 PICC tests.
- PCD mode (proximity coupling device) - PCD test cases executed with the LT acting as PICC emulator per ISO/IEC 10373-6.
- VCD mode (vicinity coupling device) - VCD test cases executed with LT as VICC emulator per ISO/IEC 10373-7.
- NFC mode - Target and initiator test cases verified using ISO/IEC 23917.
- Test reporting: Results are captured using the normative test report template in Annex A, with pass/fail outcomes aligned to ISO/IEC 21481 requirements.
Practical applications and users
ISO/IEC 19369:2024 is used by:
- NFC device and chipset manufacturers for conformance verification.
- Test and certification laboratories performing NFCIP-2 compliance and interoperability testing.
- QA and regulatory teams validating contactless payment terminals, access-control readers, smartphones, wearables, and IoT devices with NFC features.
- Standards and compliance engineers implementing NFCIP-2 (ISO/IEC 21481) profiles in products.
Practical benefits include consistent NFC testing procedures, repeatable mode-selection validation, and standardized reporting for certification and interoperability efforts.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are
members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical
committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity.
ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.
