Contactless Kernel C-8 Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS)
Contactless Kernel C -8 Implementation C onformance Statement Version 1.2a ICS Reference Number and Validity Period (for EMVCo administrative use only) ICS Reference Number: Valid from: Valid to: Notice: This ICS form must be completed for products implementing the Kernel C-8 submitted to receive EMVCo Contactless Product testing and compliance/approval. ICS form must be completed in its entirety. It shall be provided along with the corresponding “ICS
- Contactless Product” in case of C-8 Kernel submission in a Contactless Product. Part I
- Administrative Product Provider Identification M Company Legal Name: (As listed on the Letter of Registration) M EMVCo Registration Number: Laboratory Identification M Company Legal Name: M EMVCo Registration Number: ICS Submission Type M Select submission type C For any submission except Initial, please provide the EMVCo letter of approval reference number of the previously approved C-8 Kernel (if already granted) M Is this ICS a replacement of a previously accepted ICS? Yes No C If Yes. p lease provide the reference number of the previously accepted ICS C If Yes, p lease provide the reason for replacing the ICS C If Yes, please provide details of ICS replacement ion 1.2a Product Type submitted for Approval M Select the Product Type submitted Note: like any other C-x Kernel, if it is a Contactless Product submission containing C-8 Kernel, the Contactless Product ICS must be also provided (not requested in case of a C-8 Kernel standalone submission). PART II – Product Identification C-8 Kernel Application Name This is the name of the overall C-8 Kernel whether the Kernel is split in several submodules or exists in a single module. In case the Kernel is in a single physical location, the C-8 Application Kernel Name may be the same as Kernel Name C-8 Kernel Version C-8 Kernel Checksum Value C-8 Kernel Test Configuration File Name and Version (Provide the identification you have assigned to uniquely identify the batch of all Test Configurations used during the testing session) C-8 Kernel Product Test Application – Name and Version (for Information only) (Provide the identification you have assigned to uniquely identify the Product Test Application used during the testing session) ion 1.2a ion 1.2a Device/Terminal(s) Name within which the C-8 Kernel will be tested (referred to 'As tested in' Name): The C-8 Kernel may be contained within a single physical location, module, or library in which case the entries above must be complete. However, when the C-8 Kernel is split across several physical components devices (e.g.: server, mobile etc.), all hardware components must be fully described below (Only first line if a single location, multiple line if multiple location): Device / Terminal HW Name Type of Device Kernel Name (or sub- kernel if multiple location) Kernel Version (or sub- kernel if multiple location) Kernel Checksum (or sub- kernel if multiple location) OS Name (or sub- OS if multiple location) OS version (or sub- OS if multiple location) PART III – EMV Specifications EMV Specification Date & Version: EMV® Contactless Spec ifications for Pay ment Systems

Note: A product not supporting the transaction data processing through the ACT signal will return ‘ACT_ACK:NOTSUPPORTED’. See further details in the Testing Environment Requirements. Yes No Does the product support PCD-bypass interface? Note: If the PCD-bypass interface is supported, then the 3 signals APDU_ACTIVATE, APDU_CMD and APDU_RESP must be supported. Yes No Implementation options Values Does the submitted kernel implement the Data Exchange / Data Storage? Yes No ion 1.2a Testing Environment: Describe the installation and operation of the Device Test Environment submitted with the samples (e.g define your submitted product architecture).
