This standard provides a physical specification with similar electronic characteristics to Proximity Integrated Circuit Cards (PICCs)@ such as those specified within ISO/IEC 14443-2 and 3. The physical card thickness (finished card body) formats@ are defined within this specification and may also have references to both ISO/IEC 7810:2012 (ID1-Identification cards)@ INCITS 440 (Card Life Cycle)@ and ISO/IEC 15457 for thin flexible cards and other thickness dimensions as called out in this standard. Construction attributes@ pertaining to the materials@ functionality@ and environmental requirements and the targeted use of these cards are also specified. This type of PICC is to be classified as a Limited Use ?C Proximity Integrated Circuit Card (LU-PICC). Purpose This Standard provides for LU-PICCs that are designed to satisfy the need for a minimal cost contactless smart card or an electronic paper ticket as a form of electronic media. These LU-PICCs have limited features and defined life cycle expectations@ while providing core electronic interface technology compatible with the established and latest published ISO/IEC 14443-1@ -2@ and -3 parts of the standard where PICCs are designed to accommodate other application requirements. (Optionally)@ ISO/IEC 14443-4 may be implemented if no other specifications within this document are compromised. Further@ this LU-PICC specification is not intended for applications where card life-cycle requirements are significant (The intended application of the Limited Use PICC is for use of a duration no greater than six (6) months or where extensive and high-security applications are not required or intended. The life cycle may be extended@ where a twelve (12)-month period of usage is required if the card is constructed of a thin plastic or composite material allowing for this greater life expectancy.) This class of PICC may be applied to any application that requires a low-cost RFID ISO/IEC 14443 compliant technology. Example applications include: private and public transit systems requiring electronic ticketing@ building security access systems@ retail@ as well as many other applications that are not provided for through the international standards forum. The LU-PICC also provides for a companion card to the standard PICC where full-featured-long-term cards are required. Alternatively@ a cost-effective short-term card may provide for a more cost-effective product offering for both the users and system providers who require only a limited amount of usage. Both cards operate on the same proximity coupled reader (PCD)@ providing for a signal technology acceptance system.
