About the certification

 

The Embedded SIM secures access to the mobile network and is there to ensure that the end-user and device are who and what they say that they are, that they can be trusted to act as intended on the network and, equally, that the network can trust them. Certification is there to ensure peace of mind for Embedded SIM users and customers.

 

The GSMA Embedded SIM specification describes what is intended to be a robust, secure, scalable and interoperable solution; but these promises can only be delivered if every technology provider interprets and implements the specification in a compliant manner. Compliance is assured with a multi-layered approach. Embedded SIM manufacturers and subscription managers are required to submit their products to a series of tests to achieve various certifications to prove compliance.
