VISA PED expiration

[ngrnn]

Does anyone know how long it will be possible to use VISA PED certified POS PIN PAD's? Any links and information is highly appreciated. Thank you very much for your replies.

Per the FAQS on the PCI SSC's website: https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/pin/index.html

Q Will PIN Entry Devices that have previously been approved to the old PCI PED requirements maintain their approval status?
A Yes. They will be on the approval list until the existing, pre-defined expiration dates.

Hope this helps.

There is currently no 'sunset' data on when 'pre-PCI' certified PIN entry devices (which include those approved to the Visa PED standard) must be withdrawn from the field. New deployments of 'pre-PCI' certified PEDs are not permitted as of the end of last year, but devices that are already in the field can be used for the forseeable future (until the card brands provide some date as to when they must be withdrawn). Devices that have never been evaluated by a PCI recognised laboratory to either the 'pre-PCI' or PCI standard must be withdrawn from the field by 2010.

Thank you very much for your help, mlmorgan and andrewj. The information you posted is that what I needed.

A caveat exists if you are also processing PIN Debit transactions on the same terminal. There's a 2010 deadline for 3TDES that, by default, will cause most older PIN Pads to require an upgrade.
