Product Assessment

Upon receipt of the test report from the laboratory, the Product Provider decides if it will submit the product to EMVCo for assessment. Assuming so, the Product Provider shall complete a Request for Assessment form and ask the laboratory to send the test report to EMVCo. EMVCo will grant a Test Assessment Summary (TAS) when a test report demonstrates sufficient product conformance. Applicable fees must be paid before the TAS is granted.
