FIME's smart card durability test tools are specifically designed to test and certify a plastic smart card's compliance to all relevant ISO/IEC standards surrounding a card's physical characteristics.
Using FIME's dedicated test tools, card manufacturers and issuing authorities, are able to test the durability of a card including its strength and flexibility.

FIME's smart card test tools assess a product’s durability against:
- Warpage
- Laminate resistance
- Adhesion and blocking
- Bending, twisting and flexibility
- Embossed character retention
Additional test tools are also available which assess the durability and resistance of the smart card and secure chip when crushed or handled aggressively.
