EMV Personalisation Validation Test Tools
Maintain the highest standards in card personalisation quality control
EMV personalisation validation testing enables issuers and card bureaus to validate and pre-certify their cards against the latest payment scheme specifications, as well as the issuer’s business requirements. This prevents the costly production of invalid EMV cards and delays in the formal card certification process.
Essential for card and payment application development and certification testing
To ensure new EMV products comply with the chosen payment scheme’s personalisation requirements, test laboratories can perform pre-certification checks using Barnes approved tools. This speeds up the formal payment scheme card approval process and reduces laboratory-testing costs.

CPT 3000v3
CPT 3000v3
The Barnes CPT 3000v3 is a Personalisation Validation Tool (PVT) widely used by companies involved in the manufacture, test, certification and issuance of EMV cards. It is used to enhance quality assurance practises, and ensure EMV cards meet stringent payment scheme specifications when sent for formal certification testing. As with all Barnes Test Tools, the CPT 3000v3 is easy to use providing various levels of reporting and analysis to meet the differing needs of its users.
Solution Highlights
- With a simple card insertion, performs quick and accurate tests of personalisation data in single or multiple applications on the EMV chip and magnetic stripe to ensure data is correct and valid according to issuer templates/ card profiles and all major payment scheme specifications and standard profiles.
- Test results include Pass / Fail data displays and detailed test result logs with hyperlinks to the EMV and payment scheme specifications to allow the user to quickly identify and resolve problems.
- Supports all EMV payment applications:
- CPT 3000v3CL: personalisation validation of contact, contactless and dual interface EMV cards to ensure cards contain consistent information over both contact and magnetic stripe interfaces and personalisation complies with Visa (VIS), Mastercard M/Chip, Amex AEIPS, JCB, Discover/ Diners, UnionPay/ PBOC and National payment scheme rules such as GIE CB, Interac, RuPay, mada, JetCo, plus mobile NFC and compliance with Visa payWave and Mastercard PayPass™ / Advance, Amex ExpressPay, J/Speedy and many others.
- CPT 3000v3ML mobile payment validation over SWP interfaces. Test scripts validate against Visa VMCPS, Mobile MasterCard PayPass and Amex ExpressPay Mobile.
- Developed in collaboration with Visa, Mastercard, Amex and other payment schemes; used by Visa, Mastercard, American Express, JCB, major banks and card bureaus globally.
- Barnes customers benefit from regular test scripts updates made available via the Barnes website.

CPT Batch
CPT Batch
The Barnes CPT Batch is a Personalisation Validation Tool (PVT) widely used for Batch Testing by companies involved in the manufacture, test, certification and issuance of EMV cards.
The new Barnes 60H Motorised Triple Interface Reader working with Barnes CPT Batch software allows you to gain efficiency when testing batches of cards. The user can stack up to 60 embossed cards for testing and free up staff to perform other work while the tests are performed without further user intervention.
We know the CPT3000v3CL tool from the advice of our main supplier of EMV cards, Gemalto. This tool is very useful because it guarantees that the personalised cards by PLANAD (VISA, Mastercard PURE white label) comply with the agreed specifications. It is in fact a guarantee that our service is properly performed. Today, we use Barnes test tools every time we finish any card production. We are very satisfied with the CPT test tool and we also participated in an EMV Training course organised by Barnes in order to deepen our knowledge.
