What is ISO/IEC TS 24192‑1 about?
ISO/IEC TS 24192‑1 is part one of the multi-series standard that defines the technical requirements to be met by contactless public transport (PT) devices in order to be able to interface together using the ISO/IEC 14443 (all parts) contactless communications protocol.
ISO/IEC TS 24192‑1 applies to PT devices:
- PT readers which are contactless fare management system terminals acting as a PCD contactless reader based on ISO/IEC 14443 (all parts)
- PT objects which are contactless fare media acting as a PICC contactless object based on ISO/IEC 14443 (all parts)
ISO/IEC TS 24192‑1 addresses interoperability of consumer-market NFC mobile devices, compliant to NFC Forum specifications, with above mentioned PT devices, aligns with ISO/IEC 14443 (all parts), and does not seek to limit compliance for PT readers with EMV Contactless Interface Specification.
Who is ISO/IEC TS 24192‑1 for?
ISO/IEC TS 24192‑1 on Communication between contactless readers and fare media used in public transport implementation requirements for ISO/IEC 14443 is useful for:
- Designers and developers of contactless public transport (PT) devices
- Users of contactless fare management system
- Public transport providers
- Users of ISO/IEC 14443 (all parts) contactless communications protocol
Why should you use ISO/IEC TS 24192‑1?
ISO/IEC TS 24192‑1 defines the requirements related to the use of ISO/IEC 14443 (all parts) to ensure interoperability between fare management system contactless readers and fare media (smartcards, e-tickets, mobile phones, USB keys, tablets, etc.).
These implementation requirements in ISO/IEC TS 24192‑1 are not designed to repeat or duplicate the referenced specifications, essentially ISO/IEC 14443 (all parts) and ISO/IEC 10373‑6, but to complement those specifications with public transport specific considerations.
ISO/IEC TS 24192‑1 is developed such that PT devices can comply with the requirements of both EMV Contactless Interface Specification and ISO/IEC TS 24192‑1.
ISO/IEC TS 24192‑1 defines the conditions under which tests are performed to determine the conformance of a PT reader or PT object to the requirements of ISO/IEC TS 24192‑1.
Given that PT readers or objects operate under only short distances, it is necessary to verify that the PT reader or PT object is able to respect this operating distance regardless of temperature. ISO/IEC TS 24192‑1 provides a test to check the operation of PT readers in regard to the temperature.
