_Chinese vendors with international aspirations can now receive local multi-scheme support for their EMV® projects_

> [FIME](https://www.fime.com/?utm_source=iseepr&utm_medium=PR&utm_campaign=Shenzhenlab)’s Shenzhen laboratory is now accredited by EMVCo to deliver contactless EMV® Level 1 card, terminal and mobile, and contact EMV Level 2 terminal testing, debugging and type approval services.

In parallel, the lab has received accreditation from Mastercard and Visa to deliver contactless terminal testing and type approval services in-line with each scheme’s respective requirements. This stack of accreditations gives Chinese chip, terminal and device manufacturers access to local support as they seek to certify their EMV projects in line with the payment industry’s key international payment body and schemes.

Combined with FIME’s leading payments testing consultancy, tools and solution engineering services, the FIME China office is now able to deliver end-to-end support for EMV projects, responding to the [region’s increasing demand for multi-scheme solutions and the rise](https://www.financedigest.com/rising-demand-for-packaged-processed-food-in-the-apac-region-drives-the-growth-of-batch-rotary-dryers.html "Rising Demand for Packaged & Processed Food In The APAC Region Drives The Growth of Batch Rotary Dryers") of vendors keen to trade internationally.
