Frequently Asked Questions

What certifications does this secure payment solution have?

The solution is based on THD89 with CC EAL6+ certification, the highest commercial security level. It also meets PCI PTS 6.x, EMVCo, and UnionPay compliance requirements for payment terminals. For more detailed information and application guidance, please consult the product datasheet or contact our technical support team.

Verify specific certification requirements for your target markets. EAL6+ is suitable for all banking applications.

How long does certification typically take?

Using our pre-certified solution reduces certification time by 50% compared to custom designs. Typical timeline: 6-9 months for EMV certification, 3-6 months for PCI PTS, depending on test lab availability and any required modifications.

Plan for 6-12 months total certification time. Use pre-certified solution to minimize delays.

What support does BeiLuo provide for payment solution development?

As an authorized Unisplendour distributor, BeiLuo provides comprehensive support including reference design review, certification guidance, personalization services, production support, and ongoing technical assistance throughout the product lifecycle.

Engage BeiLuo early in the design phase for optimal support. Leverage our certification experience.

Can this solution support both contact and contactless payments?

Yes, the THD89 supports dual-interface operation with both ISO 7816 contact and ISO 14443 contactless interfaces. This allows a single design to support both payment methods, maximizing compatibility with existing infrastructure.

Dual-interface is recommended for new designs to ensure maximum market coverage.

What tamper protection features are included?

The solution includes comprehensive tamper protection: active shielding mesh, voltage and temperature monitoring, light sensors, intrusion detection, and secure key erasure upon tamper detection. These features meet PCI PTS physical security requirements.

All tamper features should be enabled for banking applications. Customize based on specific threat models.

How does this solution compare to NXP or Infineon alternatives?

Our solution offers equivalent EAL6+ security certification at 20-30% lower cost. THD89 provides comparable performance to NXP P71 and Infineon SLE97. The main advantage is local support and supply chain security through BeiLuo as authorized distributor.

Evaluate based on total cost of ownership, including support and supply chain considerations.
