UL’s UK laboratory accredited by MasterCard for Level 2 Contactless Terminal Type Approval
April 2015 by Marc Jacob
UL is proud to announce its UK laboratory is now a MasterCard reference test center for official certification of payment acceptance terminals.
This new service provided by UL includes Level 2 contactless kernel testing against MasterCard PayPass Mchip V3.0 and additionally covers performance, combination and integration terminal testing. Payment acceptance devices manufacturers will now be able to test the functionality and characteristics of their terminal’s application.
Additionally, they can verify that a transaction is correctly performed within specified transaction times, across several selected positions inside the operating volume and using a comprehensive pool of different cards and mobile devices.
This accreditation has been achieved at the perfect timing since, according to MasterCard, and effective April 1st, 2015, any submission of a new MasterCard Contactless Reader for approval must be compliant with PayPass V3.0 specification.
