NFC Forum confirmed that the NI solution conforms to new CR12 requirements

NI announced that its NFC Forum Test System had been successfully qualified by the NFC Forum following the latest certification release document (CR12). That means this new test tool version can now be used by the NFC Forum test laboratories to perform for their customer's official validation of NFC devices and NFC tags.

The NFC Forum CR12 specification is one of the most ambitious updates ever released by the NFC Forum, and aims at:

• contributing to the solving of interoperability issues that may happen on the field between two NFC devices, 
• resolve discrepancies with other NFC standards, 
• add the possibility to define innovative new use cases based on the new Active Communication Mode (ACM).

NI’s coverage of the NFC Forum CR12 test specifications is total and includes the analog, digital protocol, LLCP, and SNEP layers, as well as the NFC tag specific test cases. Those test libraries are automated and run on the Contactless Test Station or the MP500 TCL3.
