EMVCo has issued Micropress with a validation letter confirming the compliance of its test bench with the EMVCo PICC Test Bench and Test Cases Requirements version 2.0.1c. The aim of the test tool is to ensure that a contactless smartcard, or NFC device that operates as a smartcard, behaves in conformance with the criteria defined by EMVCo. It is also designed to enable customers using Micropress EMVCo L1 Contactless test bench in their R&D centres to achieve the same results they would get at an accredited EMVCo Laboratory. Customers can then make in-house validation campaigns and go to the EMVCo laboratory to obtain final certification, saving time and money.

"Being the first company worldwide to obtain this validation letter is proof of the technological dominance of Micropress on Level 1 related solutions. Our ambition is to continue in this direction, cover more and more specifications, and give better and better test capabilities to our customers worldwide," said Philippe Bacle, CEO of Micropress.
