EMV Migration Forum publishes testing, certification update


The EMV Migration Forum, a cross-industry body focused on supporting EMV chip implementation in the U.S., has published a revised version of its white paper, "EMV Testing and Certification White Paper: Current Global Payment Network Requirements for the U.S. Acquiring Community."

"As merchants and acquirers continue to work to enable their terminals to accept EMV chip cards, it's essential that they understand the requirements for testing to ensure they are obtaining certifications efficiently and effectively," said Randy Vanderhoof, director of the EMV Migration Forum. "This update to the white paper reflects the current payment network requirements and will be a useful resource as merchants and acquirers move forward with their move to chip payments."

The updated document provides use cases for several circumstances:

  • when testing or retesting is required for EMV chip and contactless terminals;
  • when retesting is recommended as a best practice; and
  • when only standard internal testing is advised.

Use cases are included for:

  • ATMs;
  • terminals (semi-integrated and standalone);
  • acquirer-processor platforms;
  • value-added resellers;
  • gateways; and
  • unattended and automated fuel dispensers.

The white paper also includes details about industry initiatives that have focused on streamlining testing and the certification process.

The revised white paper was developed by the forum's testing and certification working committee and is available as a free download.
