Level 1 is the part of EMV certification that depends most on physics. Software fixes are cheap; a casing or antenna change late in a project is not. Plan Level 1 early.

⚠ Procedures, fees, validity periods and forms are set by EMVCo and the laboratories and change over time. Use this article for orientation and check the current EMVCo documents and your laboratory's instructions.
