The STS (Standard Transfer Specification) is the only Globally accepted open standard for prepayment metering, ensuring interoperability at all levels. Combined with state-of-the-art Key Management services, it allows you to scale your prepayment infrastructure easily, no matter how many suppliers or vendors you wish to use. It achieves this seamless interoperability through a meticulous compliance certification process to ensure that all certified products adhere to the requirements stipulated in the IEC62055-41, and companion specifications where applicable. Once you have your STS Compliance Certificate, your product can now be added to any STS prepayment infrastructure easily. Preparing to submit a product for compliance testing is a costly and time-consuming exercise, so it would be best to ensure there are no unnecessary delays or complications. In Part 2 of this article series, we will guide you through some basic steps and mandatory requirements you must consider before submitting your product for STS compliance certification.

About us
The STS Association, as the custodian of the STS prepayment metering technology standard was founded in 1997. The key operational objectives of the association are to maintain the necessary infrastructure; promote the technology internationally and further develop the standard to meet emerging international demands for additional functionality. The Association ensures interoperability between system components from different manufactures of prepayment meter and vending systems by accrediting and maintaining a list of test laboratories that ensure compliance to STS standards. The Association manages the availability of encrypted vending keys to manufacturing members via its key management centres, and ensures consistent use of manufacturer identity codes as well as meter serial numbers.
