Amendment 3 - Identification cards - Test methods - Part 6: Proximity cards - Amendment 3 - PICC loading effect

ISO/IEC 10373 defines test methods for characteristics of identification cards according to the definition given in ISO/IEC 7810. Each test method is cross-referenced to one or more base standards, which can be ISO/IEC 7810 or one or more of the supplementary standards that define the information storage technologies employed in identification card applications.

NOTE 1 Criteria for acceptability do not form part of ISO/IEC 10373, but will be found in the International Standards mentioned above.

NOTE 2 Test methods defined in this part of ISO/IEC 10373 are intended to be performed separately. A given proximity card or object, or proximity coupling device, is not required to pass through all the tests sequentially.

This part of ISO/IEC 10373 defines test methods which are specific to proximity cards and objects, and proximity coupling devices and proximity extended devices, defined in ISO/IEC 14443-1, ISO/IEC 14443-2, ISO/IEC 14443-3, and ISO/IEC 14443-4.

ISO/IEC 10373-1 defines test methods which are common to one or more integrated circuit card technologies and other parts deal with other technology-specific tests.
