Assembly for shielding at least one radio-frequency chip and method for making the same

A method for making an assembly, including:

• providing a shield, the shield including a first shield part and a second shield part, the first shield part being foldable on the second shield part;
• and
• providing, each of the first shield part and the second shield part, with at least one closure element, so that the at least one closure element associated with the first shield part is in contact with at least one corresponding closure element associated with the second shield part, the contact allowing to ensure an electrical continuity between the first shield part and the second shield part and to generate a Faraday cage, wherein the assembly further includes an e-passport comprising at least one substrate element, at least one antenna and at least one chip, the at least one chip being communicatively coupled to the at least one antenna, the first shield part and/or the second shield part includes at least one aperture, each aperture is deprived of any material and constitutes a through hole,
• wherein the at least one substrate element is included in a group including at least one inlay, at least one cover, a sheet, and at least one data page and wherein the first shield part or the second shield part is included in or attached to an inlay, a cover, a sheet or a data page, wherein the at least one aperture comprises multiple apertures along a hinge that provides points of attachment between the multiple apertures for one or several sheets and faces a folding area of the assembly between the first shield part and the second shield part, and
• wherein the at least one cover includes a first cover part and a second cover part, said first shield part is adapted to be incorporated in or attached to the first cover part, the area of said first shield part being overlap to the area of said first cover part.
