The important development of the Common AMC obliges us, as a structure responsible for governance and security, to be more vigilant and rigorous. This is why we remind you that any public or private organization that intervenes in the issuance of a common MCA (manufacturer), or that uses the common MCA (User Entity), whatever the use, must sign a usage agreement with ADCET and thus be referenced by our association.
Moreover, the functioning of a project around the Common AMC is only possible insofar as ADCET mobilizes the means necessary to support, develop, secure and govern the Common AMC, which represents a significant expense.

Consequently, the agreement may be granted free of charge, provided that the Relying Party and/or the manufacturer is a member of ADCET and is up to date with its dues.

If the User and/or the manufacturer does not wish to join the ADCET or is not up to date with its membership fees, a fee must be paid, by annex to the agreement to be established between the ADCET, the User and/or the manufacturer.

We would be grateful if you could communicate this information to any third party that you may meet in the context of a project around the common AMC. As a member, it is also your responsibility to contribute to ensuring that each third party partner is registered as an organization with ADCET and in particular to remind this obligation in the calls for tender and contracts that you will have to sign with third parties concerning the use and/or production of the Common AMC.

Furthermore, it is reminded that the logo of the common AMC must appear on any support integrating the common AMC. If, at first, there may have been exceptions and factual derogations to this rule, it is now necessary to regularize the situation without delay.

In this sense, we ask that each card manufacturer provide us with a visual for validation, before any new production. If the logo is not present, ADCET will have to oppose the production of these cards.

Finally, it is also reminded that the specification of the AMC standard cannot be distributed but that each entity wishing to know about it must acquire it on the AFNOR website (https://www.boutique.afnor.org/norme/nf-p99-508/services-de-vie-quotidienne-application-multiservices-citoyenne-amc/article/938347/fa199961).

We remain at your disposal.
