1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) defines the interface between the Subscriber Identity
Module (SIM) and the Mobile Equipment (ME) for use during the network operation phase of GSM as well
as those aspects of the internal organization of the SIM which are related to the network operation phase.
This is to ensure interoperability between a SIM and an ME independently of the respective manufacturers
and operators. The concept of a split of the Mobile Station (MS) into these elements as well as the
distinction between the GSM network operation phase, which is also called GSM operations, and the
administrative management phase are described in the Technical Specification GSM 02.17 [6].
This ETS defines:
- the requirements for the physical characteristics of the SIM, the electrical signals and the
transmission protocols;
- the model which shall be used as a basis for the design of the logical structure of the SIM;
- the security features;
- the interface functions;
- the commands;
- the contents of the files required for the GSM application;
- the application protocol.
Unless otherwise stated, references to GSM also apply to DCS 1800.
This ETS does not specify any aspects related to the administrative management phase. Any internal
technical realization of either the SIM or the ME are only specified where these reflect over the interface.
This ETS does not specify any of the security algorithms which may be used.
This ETS defines the SIM/ME interface for GSM Phase 2. While all attempts have been made to maintain
phase compatibility, any issues that specifically relate to Phase 1 should be referenced from within the
relevant Phase 1 specification.

For any voltage level, monitored during the activation sequence, or during the deactivation sequence
following soft power-down, the order of the contact activation/deactivation shall be respected.
NOTE 1: Soft Power switching is defined in GSM 02.07 [3].
NOTE 2: It is recommended that whenever possible the deactivation sequence defined in
ISO/IEC 7816-3 [25] should be followed by the ME on all occasions when the ME is
powered down.
If the SIM clock is already stopped and is not restarted, the ME is allowed to deactivate all the contacts in
any order, provided that all signals reach low level before Vcc leaves high level. If the SIM clock is already
stopped and is restarted before the deactivation sequence, then the deactivation sequence specified in
ISO/IEC 7816-3 [25] subclause 5.4 shall be followed.
When Vpp is connected to Vcc, as allowed by GSM (see clause 5), then Vpp will be activated and
deactivated with Vcc, at the time of the Vcc activation/deactivation, as given in the sequences of
ISO/IEC 7816-3 [25] subclauses 5.1 and 5.4.
The voltage level of Vcc, used by GSM, differs from that specified in ISO/IEC 7816-3 [25]. Vcc is powered
when it has a value between 4,5 V and 5,5 V.
4.3.3 Inactive contacts
The voltages on contacts C1, C2, C3, C6 and C7 of the ME shall be between 0 and ± 0,4 volts referenced
to ground (C5) when the ME is switched off with the power source connected to the ME. The
measurement equipment shall have a resistance of 50 kohms when measuring the voltage on C2, C3, C6
and C7. The resistance shall be 10 kohms when measuring the voltage on C1.
4.3.4 Contact pressure
The contact pressure shall be large enough to ensure reliable and continuous contact (e.g. to overcome
oxidisation and to prevent interruption caused by vibration). The radius of any curvature of the contacting
elements shall be greater than or equal to 0,8 mm over the contact area.
Under no circumstances may a contact force be greater than 0,5 N per contact.

Care shall be taken to avoid undue point pressure to the area of the SIM opposite to the contact area.
Otherwise this may damage the components within the SIM.
4.4 Precedence
For Mobile Equipment, which accepts both an ID-1 SIM and a Plug-in SIM, the ID-1 SIM shall take
precedence over the Plug-in SIM (see GSM 02.17 [6]).
4.5 Static Protection
Considering that the SIM is a CMOS device, the ME manufacturer shall take adequate precautions (in
addition to the protection diodes inherent in the SIM) to safeguard the ME, SIM and SIM/ME interface from
static discharges at all times, and particularly during SIM insertion into the ME.
5 Electronic signals and transmission protocols
Electronic signals and transmission protocols shall be in accordance with ISO/IEC 7816-3 [25] unless
specified otherwise. The following additional requirements shall be applied to ensure proper operation in
the GSM environment.
The choice of the transmission protocol(s), to be used to communicate between the SIM and the ME, shall
at least include that specified and denoted by T=0 in ISO/IEC 7816-3 [25].
The values given in the tables hereafter are derived from ISO/IEC 7816-3 [25], subclause 4.2 with the
following considerations:
-V and V always refer to the device (ME or SIM) which is driving the interface. V and V
OH OL IH IL
always refer to the device (ME or SIM) which is operating as a receiver on the interface.
- This convention is different to the one used in ISO/IEC 7816-3 [25], which specifically defines an
ICC for which its current conventions apply. The following clauses define the specific core
requirements for the SIM, which provide also the basis for Type Approval. For each state (V V
OH, IH,
V and V ) a positive current is defined as flowing out of the entity (ME or SIM) in that state.
IL OL
- The high current options of ISO/IEC 7816-3 [25] for V and V are not specified for the SIM as
IH OH
they apply to NMOS technology requirements. No realization of the SIM using NMOS is foreseen.
5.1 Supply voltage Vcc (contact C1)
The SIM shall be operated within the following limits:
Table 1: Electrical characteristics of Vcc under normal operating conditions
Symbol Minimum Maximum Unit
Vcc 4,5 5,5 V
Icc 10 mA
The current consumption of the SIM shall not exceed the value given in table 1 during any state (including
activation and deactivation as defined in subclause 4.3.2).
When the SIM is in idle state (see below) the current consumption of the card shall not exceed 200µA at
1 MHz and 25°C. If clock stop mode is allowed, then the current consumption shall also not exceed 200
µA while the clock i
