PCI SSC publishes PIN Entry Devices (PED) standards

The PCI SSC announced the release of the PIN Entry Device (PED) standards in conjunction with the latest self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ). The PCI SSC has a long list of resources that you will want to check out, but may be applicable to a shorter list of people.

Remember that the PIN/PED requirements apply to the vendors of these PED devices, but merchants can also see the date their PED devices may expire.  Check out the list of approved PIN Entry Devices and make sure you are using one of those listed. Also, here is a list of the Visa PIN mandates and deadlines.
