Public transport - Communication between contactless readers and fare media - Part 1: Implementation requirements for ISO/IEC 14443
This Technical Specification sets out the technical requirements to be met by contactless fare management system terminals and contactless fare media hosting a transport ticketing application in order to be able to interface together using the ISO/IEC 14443 standard contactless communications protocol.
This Technical Specification applies to:
- any contactless fare management system terminals acting as a PCD contactless reader based on ISO/IEC 14443 standard series;
- any contactless fare media acting as a PICC contactless object based on ISO/IEC 14443 standard series.
The purpose of these implementation requirements is to ensure contactless communications interoperability between contactless fare management system terminals and any contactless fare media liable to be accepted by them, once both terminal and fare media have been certified as meeting the requirements of these implementation requirements. An interface–oriented test approach will be used to evaluate the interoperability of relevant components and is defined in FprCEN/TS 16794-2, Public transport — Communication between contactless readers and fare media — Part 2: Test plan for ISO/IEC 14443.
Application-to-application exchanges executed once contactless communication has been established at RF level fall outside the scope of these implementation requirements. In line with the rules on independency between OSI protocol layers, these implementation requirements work on the assumption that application-to-application exchanges are not contingent on the type of contactless communication established or by the parameters used for the low-level protocol layers that serve as the platform for these application-to-application exchanges.

Javni prevoz - Komunikacija med brezkontaktnimi čitalniki/terminali in prevoznimi mediji - 1. del: Zahteve za izvajanje ISO/IEC 14443
Ta tehnična specifikacija določa tehnične zahteve, ki jih morajo izpolnjevati sistemi brezkontaktnih terminalov in brezkontaktnih prevoznih medijev, ki gostijo aplikacijo za preverjanje vozovnic, da jim je omogočeno skupno delovanje s pomočjo brezkontaktnega komunikacijskega protokola standarda ISO/IEC 14443.
Ta tehnična specifikacija velja za:
– vse sisteme brezkontaktnih terminalov, ki delujejo kot brezkontaktni čitalniki PCD na podlagi skupine standardov ISO/IEC 14443.
– vse brezkontaktne prevozne medije, ki delujejo kot brezkontaktni predmet PICC na podlagi skupine standardov ISO/IEC 14443.
Namen teh izvedbenih zahtev je zagotoviti brezkontaktno komunikacijsko interoperabilnost med sistemi brezkontaktnih terminalov in brezkontaktnih prevoznih medijev, ki jih lahko sprejmejo, potem ko je potrjeno, da tako terminal kot prevozni medij izpolnjujeta zahteve iz teh izvedbenih zahtev. Za oceno interoperabilnosti pomembnih komponent se uporabi vmesniško usmerjen preskusni pristop, ki ga določa FprCEN/TS 16794-2, Javni prevoz - Komunikacija med brezkontaktnimi čitalniki in brezkontaktnimi prevoznimi mediji - 2. del: Preskusni načrt za ISO/IEC 14443.
Izmenjave med aplikacijami, ki so izvedene po vzpostavitvi brezkontaktne komunikacije na radiofrekvenčni stopnji, niso zajete v teh izvedbenih zahtevah. V skladu s pravili o neodvisnosti med plastmi protokolov OSI te izvedbene zahteve delujejo na predpostavki, da izmenjave med aplikacijami niso odvisne od vrste vzpostavljene brezkontaktne komunikacije ali parametrov, ki se uporabljajo za nižje plasti protokola, ki služijo kot platforma za te izmenjave med aplikacijami.

Introduction
These implementation requirements represent the first step in a process designed to ensure contactless
communication interoperability between fare management system terminals and any fare media liable to be
accepted by them. The end-purpose of this document is therefore to prepare the ground for European
deployment of a certification process on contactless communication protocols guaranteeing technical
interoperability between fare management system terminals and fare media.
These implementation requirements set out the requirements related to the use of ISO/IEC 14443 to ensure
interoperability between fare management system terminals and multiple-form-factor contactless fare media
(smartcards, e-tickets, mobile phones, USB keys, tablets, etc.).
These implementation requirements are not designed to repeat or duplicate the referenced specifications
(essentially standards ISO/IEC 14443 and ISO/IEC 10373-6) but to finalize some specific points and to define
their testing and use conditions, and thus ultimately to improve overall interoperability.
These implementation requirements have been built to facilitate co-compliance of a given fare management
system terminal or fare media on both these implementation requirements and one or more other standard
specifications like EMVCo Book D or NFC Forum Analog and Digital Technical specifications.
These implementation requirements include the following key clauses:
— Clause 6 presents general considerations applicable to fare management system terminals and fare
media.
— Clause 7 sets out the requirements specific to contactless fare management system terminals.
— Clause 8 sets out the requirements specific to contactless fare media.
— Clause 9 sets out the test conditions for the certification of contactless fare management system
terminals and contactless fare media under these implementation requirements. It also lists the
implementation characteristics to be provided by fare management system terminal manufacturers and
contactless fare media manufacturers as a prerequisite to the certification process.
— Various possible polling sequences are given in Annex A for information purposes.

1 Scope
This Technical Specification sets out the technical requirements to be met by contactless fare management
system terminals and contactless fare media hosting a transport ticketing application in order to be able to
interface together using the ISO/IEC 14443 standard contactless communications protocol.
This Technical Specification applies to:
— any contactless fare management system terminal acting as a PCD contactless reader based on
ISO/IEC 14443 standard series;
— any contactless fare media acting as a PICC contactless object based on ISO/IEC 14443 standard
series.
The purpose of these implementation requirements is to ensure contactless communications interoperability
between contactless fare management system terminals and any contactless fare media liable to be accepted
by them, once both terminal and fare media have been certified as meeting the requirements of these
implementation requirements. An interface–oriented test approach will be used to evaluate the interoperability
of relevant components and is defined in CEN/TS 16794-2, Public transport — Communication between
contactless readers and fare media — Part 2: Test plan for ISO/IEC 14443.
Application-to-application exchanges executed once contactless communication has been established at RF
level fall outside the scope of these implementation requirements. In line with the rules on independency
between OSI protocol layers, these implementation requirements work on the assumption that application-to-
application exchanges are not contingent on the type of contactless communication established or by the
parameters used for the low-level protocol layers that serve as the platform for these application-to-application
exchanges.

5 Conformance
Conformance to the present implementation requirements carries a number of requisites:
— For a contactless reader, to meet all the [Rdrnn] requirements listed herein that are applicable according
to the applicant's stated implementation characteristics (ICS), under the test conditions stipulated in
Clause 2 and following the PCD Reader test plan set out in CEN/TS 16794-2.
— For a contactless object, to meet all the [Objnn] requirements listed herein that are applicable according
to the applicant's stated implementation characteristics (ICS), under the test conditions stipulated in
Clause 2 and following the PICC Media test plan set out in CEN/TS 16794-2.
The validation process to be carried out by contactless object and contactless reader manufacturers or
integrators is out of scope of the present specification.
6 General considerations for fare media and contactless readers
6.1 Combining the present requirements with others industry standards
The implementation requirements are designed to facilitate the software and hardware migration roadmap for
existing fare management system terminals and to minimize the allied roadmap costs by integrating existing
contactless ticketing test specifications (regional or local test specifications used in population clusters aiming
for transport interoperability). Moving forward along these lines, the specifications do not impose a unique
predefined polling sequence for fare management system terminals, but define minimal requirements for
polling sequence, thus leaving each transport network free to integrate into this sequence those contactless
fare media that are off-scope, i.e. non-compliant to the ISO/IEC 14443 requirements on Type A or B as
outlined herein.
These implementation requirements, for those transport networks that opt in, also give the possibility to get an
EMVCo L1 certification on fare management system terminals designed to accept contactless payment as the
transport network fare payment and access system, regardless of the type of media hosting the allied
applications: contactless smartcards, NFC-enabled mobile phones, NFC-enabled secure memory cards, etc.
In order to facilitate joint compliance to these requirements and to EMVCO requirements, notes have been
added where EMVCo imposes restricted implementation and these current implementation requirements are
more open.
Similarly, when NFC devices are used as fare management system terminals or as fare media, additional
certification such as NFC Forum certification may be requested for these devices. It should be possible for an
NFC-enabled device to comply both with these implementation requirements and with NFC Forum’s Analog
and Digital Technical specifications. Some discussions will take place between the CEN TC 278 Working
Group 3 SG 5 and NFC Forum’s SIG Transport to look after requirements harmonization.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
SIST-TS CEN/TS 16794-1:2015
CEN/TS 16794-1:2015 (E)
The requirements set out in these implementation requirements are applicable to contactless fare media,
whether they are dedicated solely for use in a transport fare solution or whether they are designed to host a
number of contactless applications from other sectors (telecom, banking, mass retail, etc.) in addition to a
transport application. By this, transport-sector contracting authorities can require conformance to these
requirements when making procurement orders for transport-network fare management system terminals and
contactless fare media. It is equally desirable that the manufacturers of multi-capability contactless fare media
(NFC-enabled smartphones, contactless USB keys, NFC-enabled secure memory cards, multi-application-
carrying contactless cards) ensure their products conform to these implementation requirements to make
them eligible for hosting fare management system applications.
NFC mobile devices designed and tested according to NFC Forum specifications will be covered in Edition 2
of this Technical Specification. The work on Edition 2 is intended to complement Edition 1 for NFC Forum
devices and not to rework Edition 1. Edition 2 will ensure backward compatibility with Edition 1 requirements.
6.2 Progressive and flexible approach to the targeted interoperability
These implementation requirements should make it possible to accept a broad spectrum of contactless fare
media, without distinction between form factors not smaller than Class 3 such as: contactless smartcards in
ID-1 format (as defined in ISO/IEC 7810), contactless tickets, contactless USB keys and NFC-enabled mobile
phones, or any other contactless fare media that is a PICC and is in conformance with the requirements
stipulated in these implementation requirements. This requires that PT infrastructures follow the amendments
on additional PICC classes that are provided with the latest version of ISO/IEC 14443 and ISO/IEC 10373-6
standards.
In the past, significant investments in PT infrastructures have been made by PTOs across Europe. These
comply mainly with previous versions of ISO/IEC 14443 and support interoperability with Class 1 PICC (e.g.
ID1-cards) only. The targeted interoperability with next generation fare media like NFC mobile devices and
smart objects within PICC classes 2 or 3 would probably require an update of this reader infrastructure and
generate significant cost. The following step-by-step approach will facilitate an economically viable transition
that can be accepted and justified by the PTO:
a) In the first step, interoperability may be supported for classical fare media (Class 1 PICC) only. The
reader infrastructure has to support ISO/IEC 14443 and ISO/IEC 10373-6 but not the amendments
related to additional PICC classes.
b) As soon as the PTO wants to introduce mobile services and next generation fare media like NFC mobile
devices and smart objects within PICC classes 2 or 3, the infrastructure has to be upgraded to comply
with the latest version of ISO/IEC 14443 and ISO/IEC 10373-6 standards including the amendments on
additional PICC classes. By this, a mandatory precondition for the targeted interoperability for all fare
media in the scope will be reached. At this point, the investment into the update of the reader
infrastructure has to be made but it can be justified by new services and enhanced customer value.
7 Requirements on contactless readers
7.1 General
This clause sets out the requirements applicable to contactless fare management system terminals acting as
PCD contactless readers based on ISO/IEC 14443 standard.
— Requirements described in 7.3, 7.4 and 7.5 are normative and mandatory to achieve interoperability.
— Requirement described in 7.6 is informative only, hence not necessary to achieve interoperability.
Requirements on contactless readers are identified by a numbering format that reads [Rdrnn] where nn is the
number of the requirement.

SIST-TS CEN/TS 16794-1:2015
CEN/TS 16794-1:2015 (E)
7.2 Categories for contactless reader
This Technical Specification reflects that contactless readers’ requirements depend on particular use cases.
Therefore two categories of readers are introduced:
— The first category, the “IFM Reader”, covers use cases where performance (i.e. reading distance,
transaction time) is key.
— The second reader category, the “Common Reader“, is defined for scenarios that impose requirements
on the contactless interface such as minimization of cost or maximisation of battery life of the reader.
These requirements have been derived from use cases from the following parts of the PTO’s system
implementation:
— sales infrastructure,
— customer’s home infrastructure,
— mobile inspection terminals.
Some requirements given in this specification will be adapted for Common Readers.
There is no compromise against the cost of interoperability as all implementation requirements and tests that
are necessary to achieve interoperability between contactless readers and fare media are mandatory for both
reader categories.
As indicated in 6.1, Edition 2 will ensure backward compatibility with Edition 1 requirements. This will protect
legacy investment in contactless readers and infrastructure equipment.
7.3 Normative requirements for contactless readers
[Rdr1] Contactless readers shall meet the mandatory normative requirements for PCD defined in the
ISO/IEC 14443 standard and associated ISO/IEC 10373-6 test methods standards listed in Clause 2
with the following temporary waivers:
— The limits and test methods for electromagnetic disturbance parasitically generated by the PICC has
recently been standardised (ISO/IEC 14443-2:2010/Amd.1:2011, ISO/IEC 14443-3:2011/Amd.1:2011 and
ISO/IEC 10373-6:2011/Amd.2:2012) and contactless readers in the field may not be compliant with these
standards. The electromagnetic disturbance requirements defined in these standards are therefore
informative for existing readers. Existing readers should implement an EMD recovery algorithm to meet,
as far as possible, the low EMD time t specified in ISO/IEC 14443-3:2011/Amd.1:2011. These
E,PCD
electromagnetic disturbance requirements are mandatory for contactless readers produced after the
publication of this Technical Specification.
— Additional PICC classes (including e.g. different load modulation amplitude limits for PCD) have recently
been standardised (ISO/IEC 14443-2:2010/Amd.2:2012, ISO/IEC 14443-1:2008/Amd.1:2012 and
ISO/IEC 10373-6:2011/Amd.1:2012) and most contactless readers in the field may not be compliant with
these standards. The requirements defined in these standards are therefore:
— mandatory for all system infrastructures that use above mentioned additional PICC classes;
— informative for a transitional period for system infrastructures that use only “Class 1” PICC fare
media: this transition period ends as soon as the PTO wishes to support “Class 2” or “Class 3” PICC
fare media.
NOTE 1 If contactless objects are introduced into a PT infrastructure using existing readers without EMD compliance,
interoperability cannot be guaranteed.
