Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
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 ISO documents 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 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).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity
assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical Barriers
to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information

SC 17, Cards and personal identification.

Part 3:
Anticollision and transmission protocol
AMENDMENT 3: Extended VICC memory organisation
Page 6, Clause 5
Replace the paragraph with the following:
The commands specified in this part of ISO/IEC 15693 assume that the physical memory is organized in
blocks (or pages) of fixed size.
— Up to 65536 blocks can be addressed.
— Block size can be of up to 256 bits.
— This leads to a maximum memory capacity of up to 2 MBytes (16 MBits).
The commands described in this part of ISO/IEC 15693 allow the access (read and write) by block(s).
There is no implicit or explicit restriction regarding other access method (e.g. by byte or by logical object
in future revision(s) of this part of ISO/IEC 15693 or in custom commands).

10.4.14  Extended read single block
Command code = ‘30’
When receiving the Extended read single block command, the VICC shall read the requested block and
send back its value in the response.
If a VICC supports Extended read single block command, it shall also support Read single block command
for the first 256 blocks of memory.
If the Option_flag is set in the request, the VICC shall return the block security status, followed by
the block value.
If it is not set, the VICC shall return only the block value.

When receiving the Extended write single block command, the VICC shall write the requested block
with the data contained in the request and report the success of the operation in the response.
If a VICC supports Extended write single block command, it shall also support Write single block
command for the first 256 blocks of memory.
