Beijing and Shenzhen Lab of the National FinTech Evaluation Center (NFEC, also well-known as Bank Card Test Center or BCTC) is newly accredited for EMVCo COTS Level 1 testing, becoming the exclusive laboratory to perform testing in China.

Commercial Off-the-Shelf device (hereinafter referred to as "COTS") is a mobile device equipped with a built-in contactless NFC function. Currently, EMVCo has launched both certification and testing projects for this product. Compared with PCD products under traditional EMVCo standards, EMVCo COTS tests need to use battery power. It is not necessary to display the EMVCo contactless symbol but declares the device reference center point. Moreover, in terms of performance parameters, the test height of COTS products during the Level 1 test is only Z≤2cm.

At present, EMVCo and PCI have formulated specifications based on mobile POS products from the perspective of performance and security. China UnionPay also released the world's first mobile POS product in June 2018. Meanwhile, VISA, Mastercard, and other payment organizations also launched the self-owned "TAP on Phone" project and piloted from the market application level.
