The NFC Forum, the global standards-body for Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, announced the availability today of Test Release 13.1 (TR13.1) that, for the first time, allows manufacturers to certify that their products comply with the NFC Wireless Charging (WLC) 2.0 specification as part of the NFC Forum Certification Program.

TR13.1 testing and certification minimizes risk for the manufacturer and ensures consumers that products will work as promised. It means a product is interoperable with the broader NFC technology eco-system, said Mike McCamon, executive director, NFC Forum Certification demonstrates an organization's commitment to quality and usability. Wireless charging certification should be part of an NFC product's roadmap.

TR13.1 certification ensures interoperability across certified WLC 2.0 devices. An example of WLC 2.0 certification is using a smartphone or dedicated WLC 2.0 charging device to wirelessly charge small battery-operated devices such as wireless earbuds, smart watches, digital pens, headsets, fitness trackers and other consumer products at a power transfer rate of up to one watt. TR13.1 is fully backward compatible and has no impact on existing NFC device classes for certification. NFC WLC certification for Type 2 Tag is available now. More tag types will be added this year.

NFC Wireless Charging Certification Market Adoption

The Universal Stylus Initiative (USI) is the first organization to test with TR13 and achieve NFC Forum certification. USI integrated NFC wireless charging into its active stylus specification giving USI-enabled active styluses the capability to be wirelessly charged with a compatible notebook or other NFC charging device. USI mandates NFC Forum certification to improve the user experience for millions using active styluses with notebooks, tablets and phones. USI-enabled active styluses are standard on Google Chromebooks.
