UL is pleased to announce that its UL Visa VIS Functional Test Suite is now officially qualified for Visa VIS 1.6.1. The test suite can now be used to support card type approval testing.
The UL Visa VIS 1.6.1 Functional Test Suite, the successor of the Collis VSDC 1.5 Test Suite, is based on the Visa Smart Debit & Credit (VSDC) specification and features. It covers all tests defined in Visa’s Test Plan for Visa Integrated Circuit Card Specification version 1.6.1 and can be used by card vendors and card issuers to perform pre-approval on their VSDC payments products. Pre-certified means that the smart card conforms to functional testing requirements from Visa and that Visa testing should run smoothly. Apart from that, the test suite can also be used by Visa-recognized laboratories for card type approvals.
“UL continues to provide high quality test tools for the payment market. We are confident that our customers will benefit from this updated test suite, as it will help them reduce the time to market and increase their confidence during Visa implementation’, adds Maxim Dyachenko, Director Products at UL’s Transaction Security division.
The UL Visa VIS 1.6.1 Functional Test Suite is part of the UL Payment Card Functional Test Suites portfolio. UL’s Payment Card Functional Test Suites are the most thorough and complete set of test suites for payment card manufacturers, mobile payment application developers, card issuers, test labs and anyone that wants to test payment card implementations based on specifications from the major payment schemes. These test suites help you in pre-certification and ultimately lead to quicker certification by test laboratories or by payment schemes such as Visa and/or MasterCard.
