Is the testing of an ESE terminal important?

Yes, the test procedure outlined in the current version of NF C 17-102 (dated 2011) should be strictly followed. Some vendors claim to have testing performed to NF C 17-102 when in fact the tests were done incorrectly. LPI has published a document that outlines the key points that should be checked.
