ICC testing and certification services
Testing and certification services covering the whole cycle for contact and contactless EMV terminals, from development through to regression.
The testing problems this solves
ICC test and certification services carry out the testing needed for scheme approval and support the process of obtaining it, from fixing the test scope through to submitting the report.
Integration steps
The path from integration to certification, so a developer can see at the outset how it fits their system.
Supported platforms and specifications
Supported operating systems, chipsets and specifications are stated, together with backend integration and the scope of support.
More than 20 years of experience, exported to over 60 countries, and used together with ICCSimTMat.
Choosing the right ICC product
The ICC products divide by purpose. Where each sits is set out in the Level 3 layer.
| Product | If you are considering |
|---|---|
| ICCSimTMat | You need to pass formal scheme approval at Level 2 and Level 3, and want acceptance testing managed and run with qualified suites |
| ICCSimTMat for Fiserv | Merchant and ISV certification through Fiserv, with test logs uploaded directly via the portal |
| ICCSimDev | You want to build your own card responses and error conditions, for negative testing and debugging |
| VIABLE | You want to run merchant and ISV acceptance testing together in a closed-loop store setup |
| Merchant Test Cards | You want physical cards for checking terminal configuration, regression and staff training |
| ★ Test and certification services (this page) | You would rather not run the testing yourself and want certification handled for you |
Where it is used
- Setting up Level 3 verification for a new development
- Regression after a configuration change or update
- Coverage checks ahead of certification
Relationship to certification
Testing uses the test suites qualified by the scheme. The approval itself is issued by the scheme or the acquirer.
