4.TACHOGRAPH CARDS FUNCTIONAL TESTS

Tests according to this Section 4,

  • no. 5 ‘Protocol tests’,

  • no. 6 ‘Card structure’ and

  • no. 7 ‘Functional tests’

can be performed by the evaluator or certifier during the Common Criteria (CC) security certification process for the chip module.

Tests number 2.3 and 4.2 are the same. These are the mechanical tests of the combination card body and chip module. If one of these components (card body, chip module) is changed, then these tests are necessary.
