UL has announced that its Collis Brand Test Tool is qualified by Discover for acquirer end-to-end testing of both contact and contactless payment terminals.

In order to process EMV transactions on the Discover Network, acquirers are required to execute the Discover D-Payment Application Specification (D-PAS) Acquirer End-to-End test cases. According to the company, The Collis Brand Test Tool provides a unique solution to enable acquirers and terminal vendors to validate the testing of their EMV terminals (POS, ATM) for D-PAS.

The Collis Brand Test Tool is now qualified to be used for certifying against the latest Discover specifications for both contact and contactless interfaces of Discover Network. This qualification includes the D-PAS Issuer Response Simulation, which allows testers to run the complete Acquirer E2E testing with the Collis Brand Test Tool, without having need of external host simulation.

"UL continues to provide high quality test tools for the payment market," said Maxim Dyachenko, Manager of Service Line Test Tools at UL's Transaction Security division. "We are confident that our customers will benefit from this qualification as it will help them reduce the time to market, ease their device testing, and increase their confidence during the Discover implementation."
