US-based Agilent Technologies has partnered with secure-chip testing provider FIME to offer test systems based on the EMV Contactless Level 1 Specification for mobile payments.
According to FIME, the test systems will allow users to validate that a contactless payment card or mobile device achieves the required functionality and will perform as specified by EMV industry standards.

The joint FIME and Agilent PICC test systems, which covers both analogue RF and digital protocol, have been built on Agilent’s T3111S NFC Conformance Test System.
FIME said that the test benches will be based on EMV version 2.3.1 test plans for pre-certification test and device evaluation.
The addition of FIME’s EMV L1 Analog RF and Agilent’s EMV L1 Digital Protocol test suites will expand the Agilent T3111S test system’s already existing capabilities.
The test system will now offer support for the FIME robots in addition to the Agilent T1142A Automatic Positioning Robot.
