ISO 7816 Card Test Solution Specifications

The ISO 7816-3 document defines the behavior of a contact terminal. Which signals shall be used, which levels of voltages, which data shall be send... The ISO 10373-3 document defines methods to check the compliancy of terminals with the ISO 7816-3, and Micropross supplies to the market innovative and efficient solutions to perform this compliance checking in an automated manner.

Based on MP300 SC1 test tools, our ISO 10373-3 test cases will make it possible for the user to perform digital compliance checking of their readers (IFD) with the ISO 7816-3 specification.

Completely automated, this set of test cases includes all test scenarii defined inside the ISO 10373-3, plus many other test cases, which comes from the experience of our engineers.

Here are some of the items that are tested by our ISO 7816-3 test suite :

Handling of the ATR

• T=0 protocol tests (parity errors, guard time, return guard time, ...)
• T=1 protocol tests (all scenarii included inside the ISO 10373-3 document, including EDC error, parity, ...)
• extented APDU handling

Taking into account the latest evolutions of the ISO 7816-3 specification, this test solution will enable you yo push your reader to its limits.

This ISO 7816-3 card solution is particulary suitable for :

• pay tv (STB testing)
• loyalty cards readers
• security
• e-government

ISO 7816-3 card Solution assets :

• completely automatised test process
• automatic generation of test reports
• high quality implementation of the test specification
• based on Micropross hardware
• open for customisation of the pre-defined test cases
