Generic Information about the Tests Page 6/214 2.1. ICS (Implementation Conformance Statement) and Application Selection In the ICS (Implementation Conformance Statement) form document the PICC vendors have to indicate the parameters used by the PICC they want to go through Type Approval. This way, the tests scenarios which must be performed on the Card Under Test can be selected and configured by the laboratory. The parameters indicated in the ICS (Implementation Conformance Statement) form document shall be used. The application residing in the PICC shall respond to its AID identified in ICS following selection of PPSE. The application shall be able to provide successful response to the test application commands, C-APDUs, which allows next command to be executed (if any) as identified in ICS. ICS shall have an example of trace and log with enough C and R-APDU exchange pairs to allow the payment transaction to be completed. The laboratory should be able to enter the C-APDUs and R-APDUs to the test tool (if necessary) for the application to execute the test. However the test tool may have already setup for a full transaction that would eliminate the tool preparation process for the application residing in the Card Under Test. In the tests that ‘Continue C/R – APDU exchanges until transaction is completed’ is stated the test tool shall compare the data send in response from R-APDUs with the data and status words presented in ICS except the dynamic data (data changing each transaction). Important: the laboratory shall ensure that the parameters indicated by the vendors in the ICS (Implementation Conformance Statement) form for contactless PICC digital testing are consistent with the EMV Contactless specification. © 2009-2025 EMVCo, LLC.

Default Environmental Test Conditions The following environmental conditions shall be used for all the tests described in the present document. They will be referred to as the ‘Standard Test Conditions’: • The Card Under Test shall be placed as close as possible to the landing plane of the test tool so that the transaction is less perturbed. • The external perturbations shall be suppressed: no metal objects or other perturbing elements in a volume of 30 centimeters around the test system and no other antennas (contactless terminals, cell phones,…) in a volume of 1 meter around the test system. • Test tool environment shall be able to progress: o Application transaction flow according to test cases. o EMD algorithm and deaf time against noise generated by the PICC unless the test procedures state otherwise. This is to alleviate any disturbance during test session and to improve interoperability between test tool and the PICCs with EMD. • Normal temperature: 23°C (±3°C) • Ambient relative humidity: 50% ± 10% 2.3. Default Tool Requirements Unless otherwise specified in the test description (i.e. for exception processing tests), the blocks sent by the LT shall never contain a CID or a NAD field as it is never used by an EMV Contactless terminal. Unless otherwise specified in the PICC parameters section of the test the relevant test shall be applicable for all PICCs. If PICC parameters section of the test indicates special condition only PICCs with that condition shall be tested against the subject test. For example if the PICC parameters section indicates ‘Type A/ UID size=1’ the test is applicable all Type A PICCs with UID size 1 including dynamic UID PICCs. Another example is that if the parameters section indicates ‘Type A’ the test is applicable to all type A PICCs with fixed or dynamic UIDs. Unless otherwise specified in the test description (i.e. to perform a PICC Reset), the LT shall never stop sending the carrier during a test transaction. Unless otherwise specified in the test description, the LT shall apply the default EMV Contactless timings and the default EMV Contactless parameters values (as defined in the present section 2). Unless otherwise specified in the test description, for PICC Type = A, the LT shall use the Type A frame format and a bit rate of 106 kb/s. Unless otherwise specified in the test description, for PICC Type = B, the LT shall use the Type B frame format and a bit rate of 106 kb/s. Unless otherwise specified in the test description, the LT shall initiate the test by generating the RF field for at least tP (to put the CUT in the IDLE state). Although it is not specified in the test description, the LT shall respect the maximum frame size FSC of the PICC and use chaining if necessary when sending commands in I-Blocks. Unless otherwise specified in the test description, the LT shall wait for at least 100 ms before considering that the CUT did not respond to a frame (i.e there is a time-out error). © 2009-2025 EMVCo, LLC.

EMV® Contactless Card Level 1 Type Approval PICC Digital Test Cases v3.2b.r Page 8/214 When, for Type Approval, a Test Tool is used as a LT, the following requirements apply: • Any executed subcase shall generate traces, logs and a test report. • The generation of traces, logs and test reports shall indicate whether the acceptance criterias have been met. All acceptance criterias and related values shall be visible in the traces, logs or test reports (e.g. for a timing measurement, the timing measured by the Test Tool shall be present, so shall be the tolerance used by the Test Tool and the expected value or expected range of values for this timing). • Any applied timing shall be visible in the traces, logs or test reports. • The Test Tool shall be able to manage WTX exchanges for at least 300ms when expecting an I-Block or R-Block from the CUT. • Unless indicated otherwise, the Test Tool shall send all its frames indicating chaining with a size equal to FSC. • All the frames sent by the CUT shall be checked. It means that the Test Tool shall check that: o Regarding the Type A frames: the presence of Start of Frame (SoF), parity bits and the two CRC bytes. o Regarding the type B frames: the presence of Start of Sequence (SoS), End of Sequence (EoS), a start bit (Logic “0”) followed by 8 data bits and a stop bit (Logic “1”) and the two CRC bytes. • The Test Tool shall implement the following options: “Check APDU”, “Do not check APDU” and “Check SW only”. “Check APDU” means that all the data bytes included in the I-Blocks sent by the CUT shall be checked. “Do not check APDU” means that only the bytes related to the EMV Contactless Level 1 included in the frames sent by the CUT shall be checked (i.e. PCB and CRC bytes). “Check SW only” means that only the “Status Word” bytes in the I-Blocks sent by the CUT shall be checked. • In addition to the above requirements, it is recommended that the test tools comply with the following: • The test tool should be capable of automatically detecting the digital parameters used by the CUT (e.g. technology supported, UID size, support of extended ATQB, etc). 2.4. Default Timings For a time parameters given below, when a test description does not indicates a specific value which have to be used to perform the test, then the default time value shall be used by the LT to send sequences (i.e. the LT shall send sequences to the CUT with delays equal to the default values). The concerned parameters and their default values are as follow. Common to Type A and Type B: After RF field is ON (after a RESET or at the beginning of a test case), the test tool shall wait at least 100ms before sending the 1st command. © 2009-2025 EMVCo, LLC.

EMV® Contactless Card Level 1 Type Approval PICC Digital Test Cases v3.2b.r Page 9/214 In Type A: SFGT = 1179648/ fc between the end of the sequence sent by the CUT and the beginning of the sequence sent by the LT containing first I-Block of the half-duplex block protocol. FDTA,PCD = 8184/ fc (> FDTA,PCD,MIN) between the end of a sequence sent by the CUT and the beginning of the next sequence sent by the LT. During the whole test, unless otherwise specified in the test description, the LT applies a delay of unmodulated field for at least tP before WUPA command sent following WUPB or REQB or PICC reset sent by the LT. During the whole test, the LT applies a delay of unmodulated field for at least tP between the end of the HLTA sequence sent by the LT and the beginning of the next sequence sent by the LT. In Type B: FDTB,PCD = 8184/ fc (> FDTB,PCD,MIN) between the end of a sequence sent by the CUT and the beginning of the next sequence sent by the LT. EGTPCD = 384/ fc (&lt; EGTPCD,MAX) between two consecutive characters within any sequence. Start of Sequence (SoS) = 1344/ fc of logical state (0)b followed by 320/ fc of logical state (‘1’)b. End of Sequence (EoS) = 1344/ fc of logical state (0)b followed by a logical state transition. During the whole test, unless otherwise specified in the test description, the LT applies a delay of unmodulated field for at least tP before WUPB command sent following WUPA or REQA or PICC reset sent by the LT. 2.5. Definition for Timing Measurement When an executable test asks for the measurement (or the application) of a timing between two consecutive sequences sent in the same direction or in opposite directions, the delay shall be measured (or applied) between the end of the first sequence and the beginning of the second sequence: • Beginning of a sequence sent by a Type A PICC: the start (i.e. the first modulation transmitted) of the Start of Frame (SoF) of the PICC sequence. • Beginning of a sequence sent by a Type A PCD: the start of the lower level within the Start of Frame (SoF) of the PCD sequence. • Beginning of a sequence sent by a Type B PICC: the start of the Start of Sequence (SoS) of PICC sequence. • Beginning of a sequence sent by Type B PCD: the start of the Start of Sequence (SoS) of the PCD sequence. • End of a sequence sent by a Type A PICC: the last modulation transmitted in the PICC sequence. • End of a sequence sent by a Type A PCD: the rising edge of the last lower level of the PCD sequence (within the last data bit sent by the PCD if this last data bit is a Logic “1” or within the End of Frame if the last data bit sent by the PCD is a Logic “0”). • End of a sequence sent by a Type B PICC: the start of the End of Sequence (EoS) of the PICC sequence. • End of a sequence sent by a Type B PCD: the end of the End of Sequence (EoS) of the PCD sequence. © 2009-2025 EMVCo, LLC.

Types of Frames in the Scenario In this document, when describing the transactions within the test scenarios, the following rules apply: In Type A tests, if nothing is indicated, the bytes are transported within a Type A standard frame with the 2 bytes of CRC_A (i.e. a valid CRC_A is automatically added after the bytes by the Test Tool). In Type A tests, if “(short frame)” is indicated, the bytes are transported within a Type A short frame. In Type A tests, if “(no CRC_A)” is indicated, the bytes are transported within a Type A standard frame with no CRC_A bytes. In Type A tests, if “(Type B frame)” is indicated, the bytes are transported within a Type B frame with 2 bytes of CRC_B (i.e. a valid CRC_B is automatically added after the bytes by the Test Tool). In Type B tests, if nothing is indicated, the bytes are transported within Type B frames with 2 bytes of CRC_B (i.e. a valid CRC_B is automatically added after the bytes by the Test Tool). In Type B tests, if “(Type A short frame)” is indicated, the bytes are transported within a Type A short frame (WUPA Command sent during collision detection). In Type A and Type B tests, if “(NFC-F Frame)” is indicated, the bytes are transported within an NFC-F Frame at 212 kbps as defined in NFC Forum Referenced Documents. In Type A and Type B tests, if “(Type A Frame)” is indicated, the bytes are transported within a Type A standard frame with the 2 bytes of CRC_A (i.e. a valid CRC_A is automatically added after the bytes by the Test Tool). In Type A and Type B tests, if “(Type B Frame)” is indicated, the bytes are transported within Type B frames with 2 bytes of CRC_B (i.e. a valid CRC_B is automatically added after the bytes by the Test Tool). 2.8. Notational Conventions The following notations apply: ‘00’ to ‘FF’ or “00…00” to “FF…FF”: hexadecimal values (sometimes the hexadecimal values are indicated between parenthesis and followed by a lower case “h”). (0)b or (“1001”)b: binary notation. Values expressed in binary form are followed by a lower case “b”. u: any value (e.g. byte A = (“1u11 0101”)b means that b7 of byte A can take any value). UID Size 1, 2 or 3: refers to the single, double or triple size Type A UID as defined in the EMV specification. © 2009-2025 EMVCo, LLC. All rights reserved.

The timing values in the table below are as given in the EMV Contactless specification and do not take the test margins induced by the tool inaccuracy into account. When a timing value is applied by the test tool (e.g. FDTA,PCD,MIN), the test implementation should be as close as possible to the timing given in the table and the following rules shall be respected by the test tool: • In the case where a minimum timing value shall be supported by the tested PICC, the applied timing value shall never be lower than the specification value given in the table • In the case where a maximum timing value shall be supported by the tested PICC, the applied timing value shall never be higher than the specification value given in the table When a timing value is measured during a test, the tolerances of the test tool shall be used. The following is the maximum tolerance p accepted for a test tool: • If T is defined in ‘1/fc’ and T  12800 x 1/fc then p = 12.8 x 1/fc • If T is defined in ‘1/fc’ and 12800 &lt; T  128000 x 1/fc then p = 64 x 1/fc • If T is defined in ‘1/fc’ and 128000 < T  1280000 x 1/fc then p = 128 x 1/fc • If T is defined in ‘1/fc’ and T > 1280000 x 1/fc then p = 0.001 * T • If T is defined in ‘ms’ then p = 0.001 * T (e.g. T = 10 ms => p = 10 µs) Notation: T is the timing which shall be measured within a Test Case and p is the time precision needed for this Test Cases.

Type A Executable Tests Page 20/214 3.1. Basic Type A Exchange and Timings Measurement (UID size = 1) [CA001] Test Codification: CA001 ICS Parameters: PICC Type = A / UID size = 1 Test Objective: To ensure that the Type A PICC with a single size UID respects the frame format, the timings and the order of the commands during a basic exchange (installation and block protocol). Reference Requirements: 4.7.1.1, 4.7.1.2, 4.7.1.3, 4.8.1.2, 4.8.1.5, 4.8.1.9, 4.8.1.11, 4.8.1.13, 5.2.1.1, 5.2.1.2, 5.3.2.3, 5.5.2.2, 5.7.1.1, 5.7.2.1, 5.7.2.3, 5.7.2.4, 5.7.2.7, 5.7.2.9, 5.7.2.10, 5.7.2.12, 5.7.2.15, 7.1.1.5, 10.3.4.8 Procedure: Run the following scenario. When a sequence sent by the LT is followed by a sequence sent by the CUT, the LT measures the Frame Delay Time between the end of the sequence sent by the LT and the beginning of the sequence replied by the CUT. Remark: The Frame Delay Time used by the CUT to reply to any command shall be measured, and, if the CUT uses chaining or sends WTX Requests when replying to any command, then the measurement is performed for each sequence sent by the CUT until the next command is sent by the LT. Acceptance Criteria: The CUT behaves as described in the following scenario. Each frame sent by the CUT is a Type A standard frame composed of a Start of Frame i.e. SoF = Logic “1”, followed by the bytes coding the CUT response (and eventually the CRC). For each byte, the 8 bits are transmitted LSB first and are followed by an odd parity bit. Each Type A frame sent by the CUT is contained in a sequence ending with an End of Sequence i.e. EoS = the carrier is not modulated with the subcarrier for one bit duration.
