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.
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).
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
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee
SC 17, Cards and personal identification.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO/IEC 14443-1:2008), which has been
technically revised.
It also incorporates the Amendment ISO/IEC 14443-1:2008/Amd 1:2012.
ISO/IEC 14443 consists of the following parts, under the general title Identification cards — Contactless
integrated circuit cards — Proximity cards:
— Part 1: Physical characteristics
— Part 2: Radio frequency power and signal interface
— Part 3: Initialization and anticollision
— Part 4: Transmission protocol

Introduction
Contactless card standards encompass a variety of types as embodied in ISO/IEC 10536 (close-coupled
cards), ISO/IEC 14443 (proximity cards) and ISO/IEC 15693 (vicinity cards). These device types are
intended, respectively, for operation when very near, nearby and at a longer distance from associated
coupling devices.
ISO/IEC 14443 defines the technology-specific requirements for identification cards conforming to
ISO/IEC 7810 and thin flexible cards conforming to ISO/IEC 15457-1 and the use of such cards to facilitate
international interchange. However, it also recognizes that the technology offers the possibility that
proximity objects may be provided in forms other than that of the International Standard card formats.
Furthermore, it does not preclude the incorporation of other standard technologies on the card, such as
those referenced in Annex B.
ISO/IEC 14443 accommodates the operation of proximity cards in the presence of other contactless
cards conforming to ISO/IEC 10536 and ISO/IEC 15693.
