Standards

Requirements begin with the product.

Applicable standards depend on a product’s design, intended use and market. Product-specific scope and current evidence must be reviewed before any approval or certification statement is made.

Standards categories

Payment security and interoperability

Payment products may be subject to security and interoperability requirements. The applicable program, version and product scope must be established for each inquiry.

Market access and product safety

Radio, electrical-safety and market-access requirements vary by product and destination. Evidence is assessed at the model and market level.

Testing and documentation

Reports and technical files are meaningful only when their subject, scope, issuer and date match the product under review.

Independent reference

For general information about how international standards are developed, visit the International Organization for Standardization. This reference does not indicate a WAYMC approval, membership or relationship.

Ask about a specific requirement

Share the product, intended use and target market so the relevant requirements can be discussed without assuming certification status.
