The CQM program has been developed by MasterCard in cooperation with numerous industrial partners, under which Telefication serves as a single entry point for the smart card qualification by MasterCard issuers.
Products, i.e. finished cards or card components, will receive a quality label when these products comply with the CQM requirements. An important fact is that the quality label is part of the MasterCard vendor requirements in order to be allowed to sell the cards to MasterCard issuers.
