This annex defines a test plan for the PICC contactless part of the ePassport oriented PICC. These tests are
divided into tests of the physical and electrical parameters according to ISO/IEC 14443-1:2000 and
ISO/IEC 14443-2:2001, and tests of the initialization & anticollision and the transport protocol according to
ISO/IEC 14443-3:2001 and ISO/IEC 14443-4:2008.
In order for the PICCs to operate correctly, many functional layers of technology should work together. The
purpose of this annex is to define in depth the tests to be performed to minimize the probability that an error or
fault remain undetected before the design is approved.
For ePassport compliance testing, this annex is normative.
