LITD 16

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 6) (First Revision) which is identical to ISO/IEC 10373-6 : 2020 'Cards and security devices for personal identification - Test methods - Part 6: Contactless proximity objects' issued by ISO 'International Organization Standardization' and IEC 'International Electrotechnical Commission' was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Identification & Data Capture Techniques, Cards and Security Devices Sectional Committee and after approval of the Electronics and Information Technology Division Council.

This standard (Part 6) was first published in 2018 which was identical to ISO/IEC 10373-6 : 2016. This revision aligns this Indian Standard with ISO/IEC 10373 (Part 6) : 2020.

The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:

a) Enhancement of test methods for PCD load modulation reception and PICC transmission including introduction of active reference PICC and PICC amplitude and phase drift analysis tool;

b) Introduction of PICC Type A frame delay time (FDT) determination method; and

c) Extension of frame with error correction test methods.

This Indian Standard is published in several parts. The other parts in this series are:

Part 1 General characteristic tests

Part 2 Cards with magnetic stripes

Part 3 Integrated circuit cards with contacts and related interface devices

Part 5 Optical memory cards

Part 7 Contactless vicinity objects

Part 8 USB-ICC

Part 9 Optical memory cards - Holographic recording method

The text of IEC standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appears referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
