| NEV | The action is never possible. |
| PLAIN-C | The command APDU is sent in plain, i.e. without secure messaging. |
| PWD | The action may only be executed if the workshop card PIN has been successfully verified, i.e. if the card internal security status ‘PIN_Verified’ is set. The command must be sent without secure messaging. |

TCS_28A tachograph card may or may not accept a command with a higher level of security than the one specified in the security conditions. I.e. if the security condition is ALW (or PLAIN-C) the card may accept a command with secure messaging (encryption and / or authentication mode). If the security condition requires secure messaging with authentication mode, the tachograph card may accept a command with secure messaging of the same generation in authentication and encryption mode.U.K.
Note: The command descriptions provide more information on the support of the commands for the different tachograph card types and the different DFs.U.K.
