Standards
The standards you certify against.
EMV®, NFC Forum, ISO/IEC 14443 / 15693 / 10373 and ISO 7816 — what each one is, and how cilab tests it on one integrated bench.
EMV® Level 1 contact & contactless testing
EMV® Level 1 is the physical and protocol layer of payment — the analog and low-level digital behaviour every payment card, terminal and phone must pass before type approval, on both the contact (ISO 7816) and contactless (RF) interfaces.
Interoperability certificationNFC Forum certification (CR15)
NFC Forum certification proves an NFC device interoperates with the rest of the ecosystem. CR15 is the current certification release, extending the tested operating range and consolidating the analog, digital and wireless-charging requirements.
Contactless standardISO/IEC 14443 proximity card testing
ISO/IEC 14443 is the foundation of contactless — the 13.56 MHz proximity standard behind payment cards, transit, eID and access. Almost every NFC and EMV® contactless product builds on it.
Contactless standardISO/IEC 15693 vicinity card testing
ISO/IEC 15693 is the vicinity contactless standard — 13.56 MHz like ISO 14443, but designed for a longer read range, used in library, asset-tracking and some access applications.
Test methods & calibrationISO/IEC 10373-6 contactless test methods
ISO/IEC 10373-6 is the 'how to test' standard for contactless proximity cards. It defines the reference equipment and measurement methods that EMV® and NFC Forum analog test plans build on.
Contact standardISO/IEC 7816 contact smart card testing
ISO/IEC 7816 is the contact smart-card standard — the gold-contact chip behind SIM cards, payment chips and ID cards. Unlike contactless, the card is powered and clocked through physical contacts.
Wireless chargingNFC Wireless Charging (WLC) testing
NFC Wireless Charging (WLC) lets a device draw power over the same 13.56 MHz NFC link it already uses for data — ideal for small devices like wearables and styluses, with no extra coil.
One bench for every standard.
The ci230 runs EMV®, NFC Forum, NFC-WLC and ISO 10373 from a single integrated instrument; the ci220 covers ISO 7816 contact.
