Welcome to Q-Card Hotline

At Q-Card, we take card testing seriously, and we believe that ensuring card quality saves money and makes happy customers. We're relaunching Q-Card Hotline as a periodic publication to provide you with updates, tips, and answers to commonly asked questions.

We'll talk about magnetic stripe, contactless, and RFID technologies. In addition, we'll cover and comment on industry news when appropriate.

My name is Terry Schindler, Chief Engineer at Q-Card, and I'll be your host on Q-Card Hotline. I am the chair of ANSI/NCITS B10.11 working group for card test methods. I attend all ISO and ANSI/NCITS meeting. For 15 years, I have attended the ISO WG1 test methods group and held a secretary position in WG1 for at least 6 of those years.

I look forward to hearing from you.
