SIST EN 301 086 V7.0.2:2003 is the Slovene adoption of ETSI EN 301 086 Version 7.0.2, a GSM Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) conformance test specification. It defines how a SIM is tested against GSM 11.11, and it covers card layout, electrical behavior, file structure, security functions, commands and elementary file content. It is written for conformance testing of SIM implementations used with GSM Phase 2+ mobile equipment.
What does SIST EN 301 086 V7.0.2:2003 specify?
SIST EN 301 086 V7.0.2:2003 specifies the conformance test specification for the Subscriber Identity Module defined in GSM 11.11, with references to GSM 11.12 and GSM 11.18 for 3 V and 1.8 V interfaces. The document tells test laboratories and implementers what to verify on a SIM and how to set up the tests.
The document is organized into scope, references, definitions and abbreviations, test environment, test group hierarchy, and test procedure. The final clause is the main body of the specification: it breaks the tests into physical characteristics, electrical signals, logical model, security features, functions, commands, elementary file contents, and application protocol.
Annex A is informative and gives the change history.
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 301 086 V7.0.2:2003?
SIST EN 301 086 V7.0.2:2003 sets the conditions under which a SIM is exercised and the responses that count as conformant. In practice, this means a test setup, default card state, and expected status words are all part of the conformance check.
- Clause 4 defines the test environment. The ME simulator must support T=0 communications, command and response APDUs, clock-stop modes, and access to all SIM contacts. This matters because the later tests depend on a controlled and repeatable interface.
- Clause 4 also fixes the default test state. The standard starts from defined VCC, CLK, I/O and CHV conditions. That gives a common baseline so different labs test the same card state.
- Clause 6.1 covers physical characteristics. ID-1 and plug-in SIM cards are checked for layout, identification marking, orientation, dimensions, temperature range, and contact placement. This matters for card handling, insertion and environmental robustness.
- Clause 6.2 covers electrical behavior and protocol behavior. The SIM is tested for VCC, RST, CLK and I/O voltage and current limits, current consumption, clock-stop behavior, and Answer To Reset (ATR) format. For engineers, this is the core check that the card works on real equipment without overstressing the interface.
- Clause 6.3 defines the logical file model. It verifies Master File (MF), Dedicated File (DF) and Elementary File (EF) coding, file selection rules, reserved file IDs, and the structure of transparent, linear fixed and cyclic EFs. This matters because the mobile equipment reads SIM data through this file hierarchy.
- Clause 6.4 checks security access conditions. Access states such as ALWAYS, CHV1, CHV2 and NEVER are tested, together with authentication and cipher key generation behavior through RUNGSMALGORITHM. In practice, this confirms that protected SIM data only opens when the right security state is present.
- Clauses 6.5 and 6.6 verify commands and status words. SELECT, STATUS, READ/UPDATE BINARY, READ/UPDATE RECORD, SEEK, INCREASE, VERIFY/CHANGE/DISABLE/ENABLE/UNBLOCK CHV, INVALIDATE, REHABILITATE, RUNGSMALGORITHM, SLEEP and GET RESPONSE are covered. This is what proves the card and mobile equipment can exchange the standard command set correctly.
What terms does SIST EN 301 086 V7.0.2:2003 define?
SIST EN 301 086 V7.0.2:2003 uses a small set of terms and abbreviations that frame the test method.
- Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS) - a statement from the supplier saying which features an implementation claims to support.
- ICS proforma - the questionnaire that is completed to create the ICS.
- Implementation Under Test (IUT) - the SIM implementation being checked against the specification.
- Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) - the card or module that stores subscriber identity and related data for GSM use.
- Mobile Equipment (ME) - the equipment that communicates with the SIM during testing.
- Master File (MF) - the top-level file in the SIM file hierarchy.
- Dedicated File (DF) - a file used to group related Elementary Files.
- Elementary File (EF) - a file that holds data accessed by the SIM application.
Who uses SIST EN 301 086 V7.0.2:2003?
SIST EN 301 086 V7.0.2:2003 is used by SIM manufacturers, test laboratories, GSM equipment makers, and quality or conformance teams. They use it to verify card layout, electrical interface behavior, file structure, access control, and command handling before a SIM is declared conformant for GSM use. It is also useful to buyers and integrators who need a clear test basis when checking supplier claims.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 301 086 V7.0.2:2003?
SIST EN 301 086 V7.0.2:2003 relies on several related standards:
- GSM 11.11 - the base SIM-Mobile Equipment interface specification that this test document verifies.
- GSM 11.12 - the 3 V SIM-Mobile Equipment interface referenced for 3 V implementations.
- GSM 11.18 - the 1.8 V SIM-Mobile Equipment interface referenced for 1.8 V implementations.
- ISO/IEC 7816-1 - physical characteristics of contact integrated circuit cards.
- ISO/IEC 7816-2 - dimensions and contact locations for contact integrated circuit cards.
- ISO/IEC 7816-3 - electronic signals and transmission protocols for contact cards.
- ISO/IEC 7811-1 and ISO/IEC 7811-3 - embossing and embossed character placement for ID-1 cards.
What does the SIST EN 301 086 V7.0.2:2003 document contain?
SIST EN 301 086 V7.0.2:2003 contains detailed test environment requirements, including the ME simulator, signal generation devices, temperature control, force application and measurement accuracy. It also contains a test group hierarchy that maps SIM, PHY, ELEC, LOG, SEC, FN, CMD, CEF and APP test groups back to clauses in GSM 11.11.
The main body gives step-by-step test procedures with initial conditions, procedures and expected status words. Many procedures use SELECT and GET RESPONSE sequences, and the document includes tables for current limits, voltage classes and status conditions. Annex A provides change history.
