EMV Conformance Testing and Debugging

Contactless and Mobile EMV Testing

Product providers wishing to implement an EMV payment device, whether cards, wearables, mobile or other form factors, must certify their devices. EMV level 1 contactless card approval outlines the mandatory, recommended and optional Proximity Integrated Circuit Card (PICC) requirements needed to support Proximity Coupling Devices (PCDs).

Q-Card is able to conduct certification, precertification and debugging testing on behalf of product providers who need level 1 type approval for EMV payment applications.
