Intertek-EWA Canada Accredited by the Payment Card Industry to Conduct SPoC Testing

Business Wire
Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to
industries worldwide, announces that Intertek-EWA Canada has been
accredited by the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards
Council to conduct testing for Software-Based PIN Entry on
Commercial-off-the-Shelf (SPoC) technology. With this
accreditation, Intertek-EWA Canada becomes the first lab in North
America, and third lab globally, approved by PCI to test to their
SPoC standard.
SPoC solutions enable contact and contactless payment
transactions using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) devices, such as
smart phones and tablets. The devices can be used in combination
with a Secure Card Reader for PIN (SCRP) to provide secure
PIN-based transactions. PCI’s solution-based standard allows
manufacturers and developers to create versatile payment solutions
with COTS devices. Intertek-EWA Canada is now authorized by PCI to
validate that solutions based on hardware security modules (HSM),
SCRP, or companion payment applications on smartphones or tablets
conform to PCI’s SPoC standard and its requirements. This expands
on the lab’s existing scope of PCI services, which includes PCI Pin
Transaction Security (PTS) Point of Interaction (POI) and PCI PTS
HSM.

Canada, as we provide leading Assurance, Testing, Inspection and
