Top-Quality and Neutrality for Successful Certification Processes

Applus+ Laboratories, a leading testing and certification service provider, and the test solution provider COMPRION have entered into a groundbreaking partnership to offer comprehensive testing services for GlobalPlatform eUICC conformance testing. Thanks to this collaboration, manufacturers benefit from high-quality standards and a neutral testing environment – the ideal combination for reliable and successful certification processes.

Applus+ Laboratories relies on COMPRION’s GlobalPlatform-qualified test solution to provide both official conformance testing as a GlobalPlatform-accredited lab and additional use cases, such as quality acceptance testing and development testing.

The COMPRION test solution consists of the “Connectivity Test Center (CTC)” software, the test benches and a PC/SC reader or custom hardware.  
 

What is being tested?
GlobalPlatform Certification aims to ensure that eUICCs comply with the following test specifications and function seamlessly:

• GSMA SGP.23 RSP for Consumer Devices: An update to the existing specification.
• GSMA SGP.33 for eSIM IoT: A new test specification for IoT products.
• TCA eUICC Profile Package: Interoperable Format: An update to the existing specification for Consumer Devices and eSIM IoT.

Applus+ Laboratories already provides testing services for Consumer Devices according to Version 2.x of the specifications. For the new specifications – Consumer Devices Version 3.x and IoT devices – COMPRION is currently working closely with GlobalPlatform to certify its test tools, which are expected to be completed by February 2025.
 

Neutrality and Quality: The Keys to Successful eUICC Certification
“Manufacturers who test their cards with us greatly value the reliability of the tool provider and the high quality throughout the process. The externally developed tool by COMPRION ensures neutrality and guarantees that tests and certifications are conducted objectively and smoothly.” explains Jose Ruiz, Cybersecurity Business Unit Director at Applus+ Laboratories.

Olaf Rethmeier, Product Manager for eUICC Test Solutions at COMPRION, adds: “As the only test solution provider in the GSMA eUICC domain actively involved in ETSI, TCA, and the GSMA, we’re deeply involved in eUICC technology and test specifications. Our collaboration with Applus+ Laboratories enables manufacturers to use the same test system during development and preparation as is later employed in the laboratory. This ensures a smooth and efficient certification process.”

Through the partnership between Applus+ Laboratories and COMPRION, card manufacturers gain access to proven quality, innovative technologies, and a neutral testing environment – a critical step for the successful implementation of eUICC projects and adherence to global standards.
