The PCI PED standard applies to companies that make devices that accept PIN entry. Certified PED (PIN Entry Device) laboratories validate adherence to the PED standard, which has requirements for device characteristics and management. Merchants and service providers should ensure that they are using certified PED devices.
The EMV standards are a series of specifications and testing procedures for EMV chip payment cards and card accepting devices, such as point of sale (POS) terminals and ATMs. A primary goal of the EMV standards, and EMVCo as an organization, is to help facilitate the global interoperability and compatibility of chip-based payment cards and payment terminals.
