ETSI PTS

Pay Terminal & Systems

ETSI Project on Pay Terminals and Systems (PTS), formely TE9, was established at the end of 1996.

PTS was responsible for the standardization of equipment and systems for use with Integrated Circuit (IC) card systems for wired payment telecommunications terminals. PTS issued an upgraded version of CEN EN726, in line with the conformance testing (CEN prEN13343/4/5), to form a comprehensive package. PTS worked closely with TC224 (Machine Readable Cards) of the European Standards Committee (CEN). In fact, PTS was nearly identical to CEN TC224 WG9. PTS collaborated with TC Integrated Circuit Cards (ICC) to produce a series of ETSI Guides on the allocation of identifiers (EG 201 220/227). Since 1998 ETSI SMG9 is responsible for studying generic IC card issues and development and maintenance of standards for general telecommunication purposes. PTS was actively contributing to the SMG9_generic group.

It was closed on 2000-04-02.
