EMV L3 evaluation and testing for Visa and Mastercard approval
Obtain Visa and Mastercard approval through EMV L3 evaluation and testing, a key step in ensuring the compliance of your payment solutions
What is EMV L3 certification?
EMV L3 certification is a rigorous testing and approval process that validates the compliance of payment devices, such as point-of-sale (POS) terminals and automated teller machines (ATMs), with EMV standards. This certification guarantees that these devices are capable of securely processing chip and PIN payment cards. DFL security measures to protect sensitive data during transfers cardholders during transactions.

How does it work?
Phase 1: Planning
In this phase, we work with the customer to define the scope of the L3 tests, the priorities and the certification timetable. We then work with them to complete the forms needed to register the project with the Schemes. Finally, this stage results in an operational test plan and the configuration of the necessary tools.
Phase 2: Pre-certification
We start with a limited number of test cases per project. Then, after the pre-test, all the tests are executed, analysed, corrected and retested until they are validated.
Phase 3: Certification and validation
We carry out all certification test cases and compile the required evidence. Once the tests have been carried out, the results are prepared and sent to the customer or its designated accreditation partners.
Phase 4: Submission for project approval
Through our partnership with FIME in the Netherlands, we simplify Mastercard and Diners certification. We also work closely with accreditation partners to finalise submissions to other programmes.

EMV L3 evaluation not only ensures compliance, security and optimisation of transactions, but also reduces errors and fraud, while improving the customer experience.
First and foremost, EMV L3 evaluation ensures that your payment solutions comply with international standards. It also helps to improve transaction security and maximise payment performance. What's more, you benefit from a more reliable solution that is compatible with EMV cards, reducing the risk of transaction rejection and errors.
The duration of a full evaluation varies mainly according to the complexity of your solutions and technical specifications. As a general rule, the evaluation can last from a few days to several weeks to ensure a thorough audit and to fully guarantee compliance with EMV L3 standards.
