Passport Quality Control

The compliance with all governmental requirements regarding passport durability and quality is one of the main topics for passport manufacturers. In a global and highly technological world travel documents must be able to withstand many controls and stresses. Whether physical demands or stamping at the chip module at a border control point, e-passports have to resist those strains.

The global interoperability of travel documents is of paramount importance. In particular, the use of chip technology in passports with validity periods up to ten years requires an appropriate quality assurance and special test equipment. With ruhlamat passport test systems, passport manufacturers and issuing authorities are able to check that their machine readable travel documents and electronic passports meet the relevant requirements surrounding physical durability and functionality.
