Description (English):

ISO/IEC TR 19446:2015 is applicable to driving licences which include a microchip and claim compliance to the EU Regulation on driving licences. ISO/IEC TR 19446:2015 proposes: - details that are missing for the implementation of Commission Regulation (EU) No 383/2012 Annex II item 1 ? 10; - the subset of the ISO/IEC 18013‑4:2011 test methods that are applicable to Commission Regulation (EU) No 383/2012 Annex II item 12; - further test methods that are applicable to Commission Regulation (EU) No 383/2012 Annex II item 12; these test methods are due to EU driving licence requirements that are incompatible with ISO/IEC 18013‑2:2008. The following Commission Regulation (EU) No 383/2012 Annex II requirements are out of the scope of this Technical Report: - item 11 extended access restriction ? EAC; - item 13: requirements on the security certificate; - item 14 functional certificate - smart card testing according to the ISO/IEC 10373‑ series.

Abstract

Overview

ISO/IEC TR 19446:2015 clarifies the differences between driving licences that include a microchip and the ISO/IEC 18013 series versus the European Union specifications defined by Commission Regulation (EU) No 383/2012. It is a Technical Report aimed at implementers who claim compliance with the EU driving‑licence regulation and need guidance on missing details, applicable test methods, and EU-specific constraints that are incompatible with ISO/IEC 18013-2:2008.

Key Topics

Scope and Purpose: Applies to EU driving licences containing a microchip and claiming compliance with the EU Regulation. Proposes missing implementation details for Annex II items 1–10 and selects/adapts test methods for Annex II item 12.
File structure & Data Groups: Defines the EU application DF and the mandatory/optional Elementary Files (EFs) and Data Groups (EF.COM, EF.DG1, DG5, DG6, DG11, EF.SOD, etc.). Highlights specific tags used in EF.DG1 such as '5F 01' (type approval number), '5F 02' (demographic data object) and '7F 63' (vehicle categories).
Data formats and encodings: Notes EU-specific differences - e.g., date format ddmmyyyy (EU) vs yyyymmdd (ISO/IEC 18013-2), variable-length fields without ISO limits, and an EU-required set of vehicle category codes per Directive 2006/126/EC. Also warns that EU tag values may not be ASN.1 / ISO/IEC 7816-6 compliant.
Biometric/image formats: EF.DG5 and EF.DG6 must use JPEG or JPEG2000 for portrait and facial biometric templates.
Security and access control: Specifies Passive Authentication for data groups, allows Active Authentication to detect chip replacement, mandates Basic Access Protection (BAP) using the one-line SAI MRZ (BAP1 configuration), and indicates Extended Access Control (EAC) may be used where needed (EAP not allowed).
Test methods: Provides complementary test methods to ISO/IEC 18013-4 for EU-specific features (access control, authentication, LDS tests), with environmental/test nominal values (e.g., room temperature, 1.5 A/m rms).

Applications / Who Uses It

EU driving licence implementers designing microchip-based licences to meet EU Regulation compliance.
Issuing authorities for specification, quality control and type approval of e‑licences.
Conformity assessment bodies, test laboratories and test-tool providers implementing EU-specific test cases and test suites derived from ISO/IEC 18013-4 and this TR.
Card manufacturers and system integrators who must align chip file layouts, security, and biometric/image handling with EU requirements.
