PD CEN/TS 16794-2:2019

What is this PD CEN/TS 16794-2- Public transport — Communication between contactless readers and fare media about?  

PD CEN/TS 16794-2 comes as a complement to the technical requirements expressed in CEN/TS 16794-1, for ensuring contactless communication interoperability between Public Transport (PT) devices or between PT devices compliant to CEN/TS 16794-1 and NFC mobiles devices compliant to NFC Forum specifications. 

PD CEN/TS 16794-2 lists all the test conditions to be performed on a PT reader or a PT object to ensure that all the requirements specified in CEN/TS 16794-1 are met for the PT device under test. 

PD CEN/TS 16794-2 applies to PT devices only: 

• 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 16794-2 applies solely to the contactless communication layers described in Parts 1 to 4 of the ISO/IEC 14443 series. application-to-application exchanges executed once contactless communication has been established at the RF level fall outside the scope of this document. However, a test application will be used to make end-to-end transactions during tests on the RF communication layer. 

Who is PD CEN/TS 16794-2- Public transport — Communication between contactless readers and fare media between for? 

PD CEN/TS 16794-2 on Public transport is useful for: 

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

Why should you use PD CEN/TS 16794-2- Public transport — Communication between contactless readers and fare media between?  

PD CEN/TS 16794-1 set out the technical requirements for the users, to be met by contactless Public Transport (PT) devices to interface together. 

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