NFC Forum CR15: Big Step Forward for NFC Usability

NFC Forum Certification Release 15 (CR15) extends the contactless operating range from 0.5 cm to 2 cm — a convenience boost for user experiences, such as unlocking car doors in automotive use cases. This allows the industrial design of a solution more degrees of freedom and smartphone users no longer need to position the device with pinpoint accuracy.

 

This type of interaction is already second nature in contactless payments, where users are accustomed to a seamless tap-and-go experience. Naturally, they expect the same convenience in other NFC applications, such as automotive scenarios.

It also brings a much-needed usability upgrade for wearables: no more awkward wrist angles or repeated attempts to get a successful read.

COMPRION is proud to be one of the first test tool providers already implementing a NFC Forum certified test solutions for CR15. It will become a natural evolution of our existing certified CR14 solution. 

Certification is coming in fall 2025. With years of experience in NFC testing and active involvement in the Car Connectivity Consortium, we’re well-positioned to ensure our solutions address the real needs of the automotive industry.
