Company

Built by test & measurement engineers.

cilab builds test & measurement systems across the smart-card and secure-element lifecycle — NFC and contactless RF, ISO 7816 contact, and semiconductor production test — with the deep analog measurement that comes from engineers who design the instruments themselves.

Who we are

Founded in 2012 as an electronic development and testing laboratory with an NFC focus, cilab has grown into a specialist in contactless, contact and semiconductor production test & measurement. We design and build the ci230, ci220, ci200, and the accessories behind them — and we calibrate them ourselves under ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation.

Our customers test and certify NFC and contactless products across payment, mobile, eID and passport, transit and ticketing, access control and automotive digital key.

Quality

Recalibration in days, from a single source.

ISO 9001 certified ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration
