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

This document represents a necessary step in a process designed to ensure contactless communications

interoperability between inspection systems and machine-readable travel documents to be accepted by

them. The purpose of this document is to provide the conformance test plan that needs to be performed

to ensure compliancy of inspection systems and any machine-readable travel documents in accordance

to ICAO Doc 9303.

This conformance 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.

5 Test methods for eMRTD
5.1 General test conditions
5.1.1 General

Test conditions and procedures in this clause are based on ISO/IEC 10373-6 taking into account specific

needs of eMRTD application.

This clause addresses the test of the mandatory and optional features of eMRTD's contactless interface.

5.1.2 to 5.1.5 specify the different test setups, the values used for the tests, and a recommendation for

the format of the test report.

Depending on the implementation statement of the applicant, Type A or Type B tests shall be performed.

All the tests defined in this document and relevant to eMRTD are applied in accordance to PICC Class 1.

For tests of ISO/IEC 14443-1 and ISO/IEC 14443-2 parameters, the minimum number of samples

provided for testing is three, unless explicitly defined otherwise. The applicant may request that a

larger number of samples be tested. The samples provided by the applicant shall be personalized and

should be marked each with a unique serial number.

It is not mandatory to use the same samples to run all the tests defined in this document. It's

recommended to provide to the test laboratory at least:
— 3 samples for static electricity test;
— 3 samples for alternating magnetic field test;
— 3 samples for ISO/IEC 14443-2 parameters;
— 1 sample for ISO/IEC 14443-3 and ISO/IEC 14443-4 parameters.
5.1.2 Test environment

Unless otherwise specified, testing shall take place at room temperature 23 °C ± 3 °C (73 °F ± 5 °F) and

in an environment of relative humidity 25 % to 75 %.
5.1.3 Test conditions for PICC

Unless otherwise specified, the test conditions defined in Table 1 shall be applied.

optional value 5,5 A/m may be applied in addition.

NOTE Optional and mandatory field strength values are chosen in line with the following reasons:

— most of eMRTD associated readers operate between 1,5 A/m(rms) and 4,5 A/m(rms);

— check that there is no potential communication hole between 1,5 A/m(rms) and 4,5 A/m(rms) or more.

Unless otherwise specified, the values defined in Table 2 shall be used to adjust PICC-test-apparatus

parameters.
