EMVCo Approvals (Smart Card)

EMV Terminal Type Approval

TÜV Product Service has gained considerable experience of Smart Card terminal testing as a result of being associated with the testing of smart card technology since its inception. As an accredited EMVCo Level 2 test laboratory we test a wide variety of smart card products, including vending units, automatic teller machines and retail devices.

We offer an unbiased and technically competent service, for a wide range of subsystems and systems, whether established technologies, Bluetooth or the latest mobile phone systems. We prepare reports and manage the type approval process, providing fast evaluation and clearance.

Smart Card Systems Group started with Mondex Interface Device Testing in 1998 and expanded its business field to the testing of smart cards and devices on behalf of EMVCo, Visa, JCB and MasterCard in accordance with respective requirements. We are the only testing laboratory recognized by EMVCo, Visa, and JCB in Japan and provide our services for the market all over the world as well as Japanese market for 10 years.

Our activities are not limited to the testing. With our smart card expertise we participate in standardization activities, such as Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) or Japan IC Card System Application Council (JICSAP). We also are an active member of the NFC Forum(TM) and are now taking action to aim at providing new services for near field communication.

As an independent third party test and certification body, specialising in innovative products, we are authorised to carry out testing for smart card devices against the harmonised debit/credit EMV standards. Compliance with EMV level 2 standards is essential to ensure that card interface devices and related software have the functionality and interoperability to perform effectively with EMV-compliant payment systems; TÜV Product Services ensures this compliance through the use of the FIME EVAL & ICC Solutions test tools. Even in the most highly advanced technologies, we have always added value with our compliance and compatibility solutions.
