The Regula e-passport inspection system has received a certification from the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) for being compliant to extended access control two test standards.
The inspection system, Regula series 7024, manufactured by Latvia based Regula Baltija Ltd. is the first inspection system to receive the conformity certificate for both extended access control one and extended access control two.
Regula passed all test cases for e-passports and e-IDs successfully. In addition to the testing procedures for e-passports and eID cards secured by basic access control, extended access control and Password Authenticated Connection Establishment, the evaluation also includes testing the conformance with the ISO 7816 standard for the communication protocol and the proper processing of the data read from the eID document.
HJP Consulting partners with TÜV IT, the test laboratory, accredited by the German BSI for conformity testing of e-IDs, e-passports and respective inspection systems to provide manufacturers an effective test and certification process. Acting as prime contractor, HJP Consulting managed the test and certification process on behalf of Regula.
In order to assure, that the device passes the official conformity testing phase at accredited test laboratory, HJP test engineers perform a pre-test at HJP premises. Using HJP’s own conformity test tool GlobalTester, all tests according to BSI TR-03105 part 5.1 and part 5.2 have been tested.
