What is ISO/IEC TS 24192‑2 about?
ISO/IEC TS 24192‑2 is part two of the multi-series standard that lists all the test conditions to be performed on a PT reader or a PT object in order to ensure that all the requirements specified in ISO/IEC TS 24192-1 are met for the PT device under test.
ISO/IEC TS 24192‑2 applies to PT devices only:
- PT readers which are contactless fare management system terminals acting as a PCD contactless reader based on ISO/IEC 14443 (all parts);
- PT objects which are contactless fare media acting as a PICC contactless object based on ISO/IEC 14443 (all parts).
ISO/IEC TS 24192‑2 applies solely to the contactless communication layers described in ISO/IEC 14443 (all parts). Application-to-application exchanges executed once contactless communication has been established at RF level fall outside the scope of ISO/IEC TS 24192‑2. However, a test application is used to make end-to-end transactions during tests on the RF communication layer.
ISO/IEC TS 24192‑2 does not duplicate the contents of ISO/IEC 14443 (all parts) or ISO/IEC 10373-6. It makes reference to the ISO/IEC 10373-6 applicable test methods, specifies the test conditions to be used and describes the additional specific test conditions that can be run.
Who is ISO/IEC TS 24192‑2 for?
ISO/IEC TS 24192‑2 on communication between contactless readers and fare media used in public transport test plan for ISO/IEC 14443 is useful for:
- Designers and developers of contactless public transport (PT) devices
- Users of contactless fare management system
- Public transport providers
- Users of ISO/IEC 14443
Why should you use ISO/IEC TS 24192‑2?
ISO/IEC TS 24192‑2 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 ISO/IEC TS 24192‑2 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 with ISO/IEC TS 24192-1.
ISO/IEC TS 24192‑2 test plan is not designed to repeat or duplicate the referenced specifications and associated test method, essentially ISO/IEC 14443 (all parts) and ISO/IEC 10373-6, but to list the test conditions to be performed in addition to the ones already described in the ISO/IEC 10373-6 and to define their testing and use conditions.
ISO/IEC TS 24192‑2 comes as a complement to the technical requirements expressed in ISO/IEC TS 24192-1, for ensuring contactless communication interoperability between public transport (PT) devices or between PT devices compliant to ISO/IEC TS 24192-1 and NFC mobiles devices compliant to NFC Forum specifications.
