BS ISO/IEC 10373-6:2016+A3:2018

Identification cards. Test methods. Proximity cards | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope ISO/IEC 10373 defines test methods for characteristics of identification cards according to the definition given in ISO/IEC 7810. Each test method is cross-referenced to one or more base standards, which can be ISO/IEC 7810 or one or more of the supplementary standards that define the information storage technologies employed in identification card applications.

NOTE 1 Criteria for acceptability do not form part of ISO/IEC 10373, but will be found in the International Standards mentioned above.

NOTE 2 Test methods defined in this part of ISO/IEC 10373 are intended to be performed separately. A given proximity card or object, or proximity coupling device, is not required to pass through all the tests sequentially.

This part of ISO/IEC 10373 defines test methods which are specific to proximity cards and objects, and proximity coupling devices and proximity extended devices, defined in ISO/IEC 14443‑1, ISO/IEC 14443‑2, ISO/IEC 14443‑3, and ISO/IEC 14443‑4. ISO/IEC 10373‑1 defines test methods which are common to one or more integrated circuit card technologies and other parts deal with other technology-specific tests.
