FAQ
EMV L2 Certification verifies that the EMV kernel correctly follows EMVCo specifications for processing chip transactions.
It ensures your EMV kernel handles transaction steps—like card authentication, risk management, and cardholder verification—accurately and securely.
It validates the logic and decision-making process of the EMV kernel to confirm it functions according to EMVCo standards.
L1 tests the physical/electrical interface (hardware)
L2 tests the software logic (kernel) that processes chip card transactions.
Terminal manufacturers, EMV kernel developers, SoftPOS vendors, and OEMs seeking EMVCo compliance must obtain L2 certification.
Both contact and contactless EMV kernels can be certified individually or together, depending on terminal functionality.
Yes. SoftPOS solutions must have a certified software kernel that meets L2 standards for secure chip processing.
The kernel must pass a defined set of functional tests, provide required documentation, and undergo review by an EMVCo-accredited lab.
It depends. If platform changes affect kernel behavior, separate certifications may be required. Modular and portable kernels can sometimes reuse certification with minimal updates.
We assist with kernel development, test planning, test execution, documentation, debugging, and lab coordination to secure L2 approval.
We provide both: complete kernel development, customization, and full certification support from start to finish.
Typically 3–6 weeks depending on kernel maturity, test outcomes, and responsiveness in resolving issues.
Accredited labs use tools like UL Brand Test Tool, FIME LabSuite, and others based on EMVCo specifications.
Yes. We prepare or review the Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS), Kernel Design Document (KDD), and other required technical files.
Yes, in some cases. If the terminal hardware and OS remain unchanged, reusing the kernel may not require full recertification.
Any changes that affect transaction logic or core functionality may trigger a partial or full recertification.
We support both custom-built kernels and those seeking adaptation, porting, or enhancement before certification.
Your kernel is listed on EMVCo’s public directory, enabling you to integrate it into production-grade terminals or SoftPOS apps.
A certified L2 kernel is mandatory for proceeding to EMV Level 3 testing, which verifies host and transaction integration.
Absolutely. We specialize in kernel integration for Android-based POS, mPOS, and SoftPOS platforms.
