1. A method for commissioning an access control device, the method including the steps of:
- (a) reading commissioning data from a carrier substrate, the commissioning data being applicable to an access control device for commissioning the access control device, the commissioning data including a first unique identifier which is applied to the access control device upon application of the commission data;
(b) applying the commissioning data to the access control device thereby to commission the access control device;
(c) defining a second unique identifier on the basis of the first unique device identifier;
(d) writing the second unique identifier to the carrier substrate in place of the first unique identifier such that a subsequently commissioned access control device commissioned by the carrier substrate control device applies the second unique identifier.

Abstract
Described herein are systems and methods for commissioning access control devices. In overview, a carrier substrate such as a smartcard is used to commission a plurality of access control devices. Measures are implemented such that the individual access control devices are uniquely commissioned. That is, no two devices apply identical commissioning data, hi some embodiments this is achieved by, as part of the commissioning process at a given access control device, modifying one or more aspects of the data carried by the carrier substrate.
