Read an introduction to CQM Scopes and Subscopes here.
The following CQM Products and Components are used in CQM Requirements Version 3a, and can be elements of the scope of a CQM Assessment:
| Short Name | Long Name | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| IC | Integrated Circuit | Integrated Circuit; unless stated explicitly otherwise, an IC is an integrated circuit containing a version of the MChip application. |
| ICM | IC Module | Integrated Circuit Card Module – one IC, typically the secure element, packaged into a module, with contacts or connectors for an antenna or both |
| IL | Inlay | An Inlay in the card constructions, usually containing at least an antenna to make a contactless card |
| CB | Cardbody | A card without an embedded IC |
| ICC | IC Card | Integrated Circuit Card – a plastic card containing an IC |
| P | Personalized Card | Personalization of a cardholder device |
| iacICM | IC Module for producing IAC | Integrated Circuit Card Module containing additional functionality – an ICM containing more components than just one secure element, e.g. multiple IC, or an IC and additional discrete capacitors or resistors. An iacICM may have external contacts or connectors for an antenna or both or neither. |
| BSM | Biometric Sensor Module | Biometric Sensor Module, an iacICM containing a biometric sensor, such as a Fingerprint Sensor, a Voice Sensor, or an Image Sensor |
| iacIL | IL for producing IAC | InterActive Card InLay, an inlay containing the electronics of, and intended to produce an IAC from. The typical difference between an IAC and an iacIL iacIL being that the iacIL iacILlacks the printed layers on the top and bottom. |
| IAC | InterActive Card | InterActive Card, a card that supports direct interaction with the card holder (not via a terminal or computer), such as cards containing a display, an LED, push buttons, fingerprint sensors etc. |
| Generic | CQM Subscopes applicable for all of the above products |
Click on the respective "Short Name" of the CQM Product or Component (CQM Scope) to see the definition of the corresponding CQM Subscopes for each product, and on Generic to see the definitions of the Subscopes applicable to every CQM Product and Component.
Some CQM Subscopes are defined equally for all CQM Scopes. These are defined in the page Generic.
