Maintain the highest standards in card personalisation quality control
EMV personalisation validation testing enables issuers and card bureaus to validate and pre-certify their cards against the latest payment scheme specifications, as well as the issuer’s business requirements. This prevents the costly production of invalid EMV cards and delays in the formal card certification process.
To ensure new EMV products comply with the chosen payment scheme’s personalisation requirements, test laboratories can perform pre-certification checks using Barnes approved tools. This speeds up the formal payment scheme card approval process and reduces laboratory-testing costs.
