Validation and Testing of Our New NFC Design via IBL-Lab GmbH

[MarDev]

Dear NFC Forum Community,

we have recently developed a circuit design using one of STMicro’s latest NFC chips (e.g. ST25R200 as their most recent reader IC). We are very interested in having this design validated under NFC Forum conformance testing.

We are based in Germany and have learned that IB-Lenhardt AG / IBL-Lab GmbH operates in St. Ingbert and is now officially designated as an Authorized Test Lab (ATL) for NFC Forum analog and digital conformance tests. The lab is ISO/IEC 17025 (DAkkS) accredited and works with validated test systems and robotics from COMPRION.

Do any forum members have experience working with IBL-Lab GmbH / IB-Lenhardt AG for NFC Forum conformance testing? If so:

• What were the results and your overall impression of their services?

• With what ballpark costs did you come across for an initial protocol / conformance test?

Thank you in advance for any insights or contact suggestions.

Best regards,
Marc

Hi Markus,

As NFC-F is not a feature of the ST25R200, running NFC conformance tests has limited relevance and is restricted to a few NFC Forum profiles, such as CCC DK RD.

I do not have specific experience with this test lab.

Please note that this community is not the appropriate place to discuss costs or impressions about an external company. I suggest replying privately.

Regards,
