---------------------------------------------------------------------

Amsterdam, October 28, 2011 - SMARTRAC N.V., a leading developer,
manufacturer, and supplier of RFID transponders, announced that the company
has obtained EAL5+ certification for its high security production site in
Reichshof-Wehnrath, Germany, from the German Federal Office for Information
Security (BSI).

The EAL5+ site certificate complements the already existing EAL5
certificate. Certificates from the German Federal Office for Information
Security (BSI) are accepted in all countries following the Common Criteria
specifications. Customers throughout the value chain benefit from increased
flexibility and cost savings as they are now enabled to include the
SMARTRAC site certificate in their own product certificates.

'With the completion of the second EAL5+ site certification, we are the
only high security inlay and eCover manufacturer who has two active EAL5+
site certificates', says Dr. Christian Fischer, CEO of SMARTRAC. 'We are
very pleased that we are able to offer our customers a future-proof and
flexible security commitment which serves their needs.'

The facility in Reichshof-Wehnrath, Germany, is part of the company's
global network of certified high security production facilities in Asia,
Europe, and the U.S. which comply with a range of quality and security
standards, among them Security Assurance Certification from NASPO, ISO 9001
certification, and site certificates supporting the EAL5+ assurance level.
The company's target to equip further production facilities with site
certificates and increase the certification grade of existing ones offers
business partners the possibility to satisfy demand alternatively on a
certified SMARTRAC location nearby.

The EAL5+ site certificate (BSI-DSZ-CC-S-0008-2011) and the SMARTRAC Site
Security Target LITE are available for download on the BSI website:
