Activity Technical Specification

The specification explains how the NFC Digital Protocol Specification can be used to set up the communication protocol with another NFC device or NFC Forum tag. It describes the building blocks, called Activities, for setting up the communication protocol. These Activities can be used as defined in this specification or can be modified to define other ways of setting up the communication protocol, covering the same or different use cases. Activities are combined in Profiles. From Version 2.1 onwards these profiles are described in a separate specification, the Profiles Technical Specification.

Version 2.2 of the Activity technical specification reflects the removal of NFC Forum Type 1 Tag features from Technical Specification Release 2021 to simplify the implementation of future NFC enabled devices without reducing the user experience.

Version 2.3 of the Activity technical specification includes updates performed on the NFC-A collision resolution, which are also backwards compatible.
