Certification Policy Documents
NFC Forum Certification Policy (October 2010)
Defines the policies that govern the operation of the NFC Forum Certification Program. These policies define what can be certified, what it means to be certified, and the process for achieving and maintaining certification.
NFC Forum Device Requirements (October 2010)
Details the requirements a device needs to meet to be certified. These requirements come directly from the NFC Forum specifications. The document is zipped with two short documents describing current exceptions to the Device Requirements: Exception 1: SNEP and Exception 2: Analog.
Implementation Note (18 April 2011)
Guides implementers on corrective action related to a discrepancy identified between the NFC LLCP 1.0 Technical Specification and the NFC Digital Protocol 1.0 Technical Specification.
Device Test Application Specification
Device Test Application (DTA) Specification (v1.2.2, February 2012)
Describes a test application that a vendor can integrate in an NFC Forum Device to ensure that the Implementation Under Test (IUT) can be tested against the NFC Digital Protocol Technical Specification and NFC Forum Type 1-4 Tag Operation Specifications. The Test Laboratory uses the DTA to configure the IUT for NFC Forum Digital Certification Testing. The DTA, together with the NFC Digital Protocol Technical Specification and the NFC Forum Type 1-4 Tag Operation Specifications, provides all the information vendors need in order to implement in their devices the functionalities required to pass the NFC Forum Certification.

Clarifications to the Test Case Mapping Table:
If the IUT supports "Listen for ISO-DEP Protocol2" and both "Listen for T4AT platform" and "Listen for T4BT platform", the following test cases shall be executed twice:
- Once using the NFC-A technology and once using the NFC-B technology: TC_LIS_NFCAB_UND_BV_01_x, TC_LIS_NFCAB_UND_BI_02_x, TC_LIS_ NFCAB_UND_BI-03_xy, TC_LIS_NFCAB_UND_BI_04_xy, TC_LIS_NFCAB_UND_BV_07, TC_LIS_NFCAB_UND_BI_09_x
- Once using the NFC-A Listen Mode scenario and once using the NFC-B Listen Mode scenario: TC_LIS_NFCAB_UND_BI_05_x, TC_LIS_NFCAB_UND_BI_06_x
