scope:

This Bulletin identifies the tests appropriate for use in compliance-assessment-type testing in the area of Trunked Voice operation. These tests were deemed appropriate by the members of TR-8.25. This group, being familiar with the relevant published standards, available test equipment and the general intentions of compliance assessment testing, reviewed all trunking interoperability and conformance tests described in references [CABC], [CAEC], and [CAED]. The TIA TR-8.25 subcommittee is responsible for maintaining the document and keeping it current with the latest published revisions of references [CABC], [CAEC], and [CAED].

In determining the tests appropriate for compliance assessment testing in this area, the group considered whether tests in references [CABC], [CAEC], and [CAED]¹ were important for achieving interoperability between equipment of different manufacturers versus tests important for product design and certification. In general, tests that were determined to be more oriented towards product design and certification were deemed unnecessary for inclusion in this list. The resulting list therefore represents tests that are most important for or most likely to impact interoperability between manufacturers building to the same set of published standard documents and conformance to the aforementioned standards.
