The ISO/IEC 10373 series 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 the ISO/IEC 10373 series, but can be found in the International Standards mentioned above. This document defines test methods which are specific to proximity cards and objects, 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. NOTE 2 Test methods defined in this document are intended to be performed separately. A given proximity card or object, proximity coupling device or proximity extended device, is not required to pass through all the tests sequentially. ISO/IEC 10373‑1 defines test methods which are common to one or more integrated circuit card technologies and other parts in the ISO/IEC 10373 series deal with other technology‑specific tests. The conformance test plan defined in Annex O specifies the list of tests applicable for each part of the ISO/IEC 14443 series.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for
the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
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. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the
Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents) or the IEC
list of patent declarations received (see http:// patents .iec .ch).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

This document was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, SC 17,
Cards and security devices for personal identification.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO/IEC 10373-6:2016), which has been
technically revised. It also incorporates the Amendment ISO/IEC 10373-6:2016/Amd.3:2018.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— enhancement of test methods for PCD load modulation reception and PICC transmission including
introduction of Active Reference PICC and PICC amplitude and phase drift analysis tool;
— introduction of PICC Type A Frame Delay Time (FDT) determination method;
— extension of frame with error correction test methods.

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.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for
the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
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. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the
Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents) or the IEC
list of patent declarations received (see http:// patents .iec .ch).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see www .iso .org/
iso/ foreword .html.
This document was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, SC 17,
Cards and security devices for personal identification.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO/IEC 10373-6:2016), which has been
technically revised. It also incorporates the Amendment ISO/IEC 10373‑6:2016/Amd.3:2018.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— enhancement of test methods for PCD load modulation reception and PICC transmission including
introduction of Active Reference PICC and PICC amplitude and phase drift analysis tool;
— introduction of PICC Type A Frame Delay Time (FDT) determination method;
— extension of frame with error correction test methods.
A list of all the parts in the ISO/IEC 10373 series can be found on the ISO website.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

FINAL DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/IEC FDIS 10373-6:2020(E)
Cards and security devices for personal identification —
Test methods —
Part 6:
Contactless proximity objects
1 Scope
The ISO/IEC 10373 series 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 the ISO/IEC 10373 series, but can be found in the
International Standards mentioned above.
This document defines test methods which are specific to proximity cards and objects, 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.
NOTE 2 Test methods defined in this document are intended to be performed separately. A given proximity
card or object, proximity coupling device or proximity extended device, is not required to pass through all the
tests sequentially.
ISO/IEC 10373‑1 defines test methods which are common to one or more integrated circuit card
technologies and other parts in the ISO/IEC 10373 series deal with other technology‑specific tests.
The conformance test plan defined in Annex O specifies the list of tests applicable for each part of the
ISO/IEC 14443 series.
