EMV Level 1 Protocol and Electrical Test Tools
EMV Level 1 protocol and electrical testing ensures that contact chip cards work properly prior to personalisation and that bad cards do not cause lost time in the personalisation process or require remakes. It also allows failed contact chip cards to be inspected to determine the cause of failure.
Reduce costs and risks of issuing invalid EMV chip cards
EMV Level 1 compliance testing is mandatory to companies involved in the manufacture, personalisation and issuance of EMV chip cards to ensure the global interoperability of chip card and payment devices. Compliance is achieved following the submission of test results performed by an accredited test laboratory.
Chip electrical tester and protocol analyser CET 3000
The Barnes CET 3000 is a terminal simulator designed to perform tests to validate ICC conformance to ISO, EMV and GSM Level 1 specifications.
Solution Highlights
- Provides card manufacturers, personalisers and issuers with the means of validating and analysing ICC electrical and protocol performance at a fraction of the cost of semiconductor industry test equipment.
- Should chip failure occur, it enables detailed analysis to resolve issues prior to the official Level 1 compliance tests or as part of product quality control.
- Engineering Analysis: Expert technical analysis of ICC performance within and beyond specification limits.
- Supports inward quality control and chip vendor management.
Test Modules for: Mastercard CPV, Visa GPR, Visa Europe PVT, Discover CPV, JCB, CUP, eftpos, GIE CB, Interac, mada, NETS, RuPay, Troy BKM, ATH, Credibanco, GIMAC, PayPak and EBC
Each Payment Scheme has its own set of globally consistent personalisation data validation criteria, which financial institutions, retailers and other Issuers must adhere to.
Barnes works closely with the national and international Payment Schemes to ensure its card personalisation validation test modules meet the latest specifications and are kept up to date. Each test module complements EMV Card Validation Test Tools, the CAT 3000v3 and CPT 3000v3, to allow users to use tests specified by the respective payment scheme to validate their applications prior to formal certification.
