PD CEN/TS 16794-1:2019

What is PD CEN/TS 16794-1- Public transport — Communication between contactless readers and fare media about?  

PD CEN/TS 16794-1 constitutes the 3rd edition of CEN/TS 16794-1.  

PD CEN/TS 16794-1 sets out the technical requirements to be met by contactless Public Transport (PT) devices to be able to interface together using the ISO/IEC 14443 series (ISO/IEC 14443-1, ISO/IEC 14443-2, ISO/IEC 14443-3 and ISO/IEC 14443-4) contactless communications protocol. 

PD CEN/TS 16794-1 applies to PT devices: 

• PT readers which are contactless fare management system terminals acting as a PCD contactless reader based on the ISO/IEC 14443 series 
• PT objects which are contactless fare media acting as a PICC contactless object based on the ISO/IEC 14443 series 

PD CEN/TS 16794-1 addresses interoperability of consumer-market NFC mobile devices, compliant to NFC Forum specifications. 

Who is PD CEN/TS 16794-1 - Communication between contactless readers and fare media for? 

PD CEN/TS 16794-1 on Public transport is useful for: 

• PICC object manufacturing companies 
• Public transport 
• NFC mobiles devices companies 

Why should you use C Communication between contactless readers and fare media media?  

PD CEN/TS 16794-1 provides the users with the necessary technical requirements for seamless interference of the contactless Public Transport (PT) devices.  

PD CEN/TS 16794-1 helps the users to enhance the interoperability of consumer-market NFC mobile devices, compliant to NFC Forum specifications.  

What’s changed since the last update?  

PD CEN/TS 16794-1:2019 supersedes PD CEN/TS 16794‑1:2017. PD CEN/TS 16794-1:2019 includes some technical changes with respect to PD CEN/TS 16794‑1:2017.
