INTERAC
ICC Solutions is delighted to announce the immediate availability of INTERAC Contactless Terminal Interoperability and Confidence Test Package. This test package is used to check compliance of a combined or integrated contactless terminal application and reader against the criteria outlined in the corresponding test guide.
Terminals and Readers will have been through the certification process with an Interac Association Laboratory (for contactless) and an EMVCo laboratory (for contact) potentially at different times (and only certified at that time for one or the other interface). The objective is to ensure that both contact and contactless interfaces are functioning correctly prior to deployment.
This test package is built on the industry recognised ICCSimTMat test platform which is also used to test compliance with the test cases defined in the INTERAC Contactless Terminal Application Certification Guide. ICC Solutions contributed to the development of the INTERAC Contactless Terminal Interoperability and Confidence Test Guide.
ICC Solutions offers an extensive range of fully validated card test packages which includes INTERAC ICC and Terminal Application Certification test packages.

According to Dave Maisey, CEO / Managing Director at ICC Solutions, “ICC Solutions is delighted to be the first tool vendor to offer the INTERAC Contactless Terminal Interoperability and Confidence Test Package. This demonstrates our ongoing commitment to supporting the development of the Canadian payment card market extending our portfolio of certification test packages already approved by Interac Association.
