Applus+ Laboratories expands payment testing services in Shanghai with new PURE accreditation

This achievement not only expands our laboratory’s capability to provide testing and certification services for a wide range of payment schemes — including domestic and private-label card organizations — but also reinforces our position as one of the global leaders in functional and security evaluation of payment solutions.

PURE is an EMV™-compliant payment application designed to support contactless and chip-based payments for localized and private use cases.
 
What truly distinguishes this milestone is that our Shanghai team developed and qualified the required testing tools entirely in-house, exemplifying Applus+ Laboratories’ strong technical expertise and commitment to innovation.

At Applus+ Laboratories, our testing scope covers everything from widely adopted technologies to the most innovative solutions. This includes the evaluation of semiconductors used in payment systems, smart cards, payment terminals, mobile payment applications, and even commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) devices like smartphones and tablets used for payment acceptance.

This new authorization further strengthens our ability to support clients' diverse payment certification needs globally, delivering independence, quality, and technical excellence as a trusted partner for multiple payment schemes.
