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. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have
established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as
an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Amendment 2 to ISO/IEC 14443-2:2010 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information
technology, Subcommittee SC 17, Cards and personal identification.

operating volume
for each PICC class, the positions where the corresponding Reference PICC shows PCD compliance with all
requirements of this International Standard for this class

5 General considerations
5.1 Initial dialogue
The initial dialogue between the PCD and the PICC shall be conducted through the following consecutive operations:
— activation of the PICC by the RF operating field of the PCD,
— the PICC shall wait silently for a command from the PCD,
— transmission of a command by the PCD,
— transmission of a response by the PICC.

ISO/IEC 14443-2:2010/Amd.2:2012(E)
These operations shall use the RF power and signal interface specified in the following clauses.
5.2 Compliance
5.2.1 PICC compliance
The PICC shall comply with all mandatory requirements of this International Standard and may support optional
requirements (bit rate, class…). The PICC should fulfill all the requirements of one particular class in order to
improve interoperability.
5.2.2 PCD compliance
The PCD shall comply with all mandatory requirements of this International Standard and may support optional
requirements (bit rate, support of PICCs of optional classes…).
The PCD
— shall support PICCs of “Class 1”, “Class 2” and “Class 3”,
— may optionally support PICCs of “Class 4”,
— may optionally support PICCs of “Class 5”,
— and may optionally support PICCs of “Class 6”.
PCD requirements measured with Reference PICCs 1, 2 and 3 are mandatory for all PCDs.
PCD requirements measured with Reference PICC 4 are only mandatory for PCDs supporting operation with
“Class 4” PICCs.
PCD requirements measured with Reference PICC 5 are only mandatory for PCDs supporting operation with
“Class 5” PICCs.
PCD requirements measured with Reference PICC 6 are only mandatory for PCDs supporting operation with
“Class 6” PICCs.
For each supported PICC class, the PCD manufacturer shall indicate the operating volume within which the
PCD fulfils all requirements of this International Standard.
NOTE As an indication of each operating volume, the manufacturer may give the operating range (e.g. 0 to X cm with
PCD and PICC relative positions, e.g. PCD and PICC antennas parallel and concentric).
5.2.2.1 PCD supporting PICCs of particular class(es)
If a PCD is expected to operate with PICCs of only particular class(es), it is not mandatory for this PCD to
support PICCs of other classes. This PCD shall comply with all other relevant clauses of this International
Standard. The PCD manufacturer shall clearly state which class(es) are supported.
NOTE A PCD which does not support one of the mandatory classes 1, 2 and 3 is not fully compliant with 14443-2. It
may be advertised as “supporting “Class X” PICCs only” or “compliant with Class(es) X requirements only”.
Page 4, Clause 6
Replace 6.2 by the following subclause:
6.2 Operating field strength
Within the manufacturer specified operating volumes (see 3.6), the PCD shall generate a field strength of at
least H and not exceeding H under unmodulated conditions.

The PCD
— shall support PICCs of “Class 1”, “Class 2” and “Class 3”,
— may optionally support PICCs of “Class 4”,
— may optionally support PICCs of “Class 5”,
— and may optionally support PICCs of “Class 6”.
PCD requirements measured with Reference PICCs 1, 2 and 3 are mandatory for all PCDs.
PCD requirements measured with Reference PICC 4 are only mandatory for PCDs supporting operation with
“Class 4” PICCs.
PCD requirements measured with Reference PICC 5 are only mandatory for PCDs supporting operation with
“Class 5” PICCs.
PCD requirements measured with Reference PICC 6 are only mandatory for PCDs supporting operation with
“Class 6” PICCs.

Measured with Reference PICC 5 (optional) 2,5 14
Measured with Reference PICC 6 (optional) 4,5 18
The PCD shall not generate a field strength higher than the average and maximum levels specified for all
mandatory and optional classes in ISO/IEC 14443-1:2008/Amd.1:2012, 4.4 (alternating magnetic field) in any
possible PICC position and orientation, measured with the associated Reference PICCs.
Test methods for the PCD operating field are defined in ISO/IEC 10373-6 and use a dedicated Reference PICC
for each class.
NOTE 1 Although field measurements with some Reference PICCs may show values higher than 7,5 A/m (rms),
the new H limits specified in Table 1 do not allow PCDs to produce higher field strength than with first edition of
