Widely regarded as one of the market's most rigorous security audit standards, SAS-UP can be applied to any UICC production environment - whether producing classical card form-factor UICC SIM cards, embedded form factor devices for industrial, automotive and IoT applications, or performing wafer-level personalisation for OEM integration - addressing the full range of security requirements. FML is the only organisation to have been involved with the GSM Association since the inception of SAS and offers the most experienced audit team in this specialism. We have been instrumental in supporting the continuous development of the scheme, the SAS-UP FS.04 Standard and the supporting documentation, including the latest versions of the SAS FS.17 Consolidated Security Requirements (CSR) and FS.18 Consolidated Security Guidelines (CSG).

The certification process offers significant benefits to both manufacturers and GSM operators globally. To find out more about the certification scheme, please visit the GSM Association’s website.

FML also offers support and guidance to help suppliers prepare for certification and audit. If you are a smartcard supplier planning certification, please contact us to find out more.
