scope:

This Recommendation provides guidance on soft error test methods using an accelerator-driven neutron source for confirming the validity of soft error mitigation measures. It also describes the requirements for test conditions, such as the neutron generator, test site, test set-up and test procedure for testing conformity to the reliability requirements of the equipment. This Recommendation is applicable to telecommunication equipment installed at telecommunications centres for carrier networks, including core network equipment (link and node equipment) and access network equipment.
