The European Vending Association launched its position paper on contactless payments in October 2009. Currently, the EVA is presenting the logo of the Cashless Vending Specification (CVS) for self-certified companies.
Lately, there have been some concerns about the use of Bisphenol A (BPA), which is found in certain plastics used in food and drink packaging. The European Vending Association has released an “FAQ” to clarify matters for its members in order to avoid potential disruption to their business activities and to allow their vending businesses to continue to operate smoothly. 
The US-based vending association, NAMA, has recently released NAMA version 4.0.
