Cons from Members
bull The database presents both legal and associated financial liability risks for the ITU and the ICT industry
bull A step-by-step approach should be taken in order to take into account the concerns of the membership as ITU moves forward in implementing the action lines adopted by Council 2009
bull The use of accredited test labs is time consuming and expensive delaying usersrsquo access to technology and slowing global trade
bull TSB should first prepare a business plan to establish the real costs potential liabilities and measurable benefits to society before launching the ITU-T Conformity Database
bull Test centres in developing countries according to one contributor would lead to confusion in the market place
CampI Nairobi 30-31 July 2010 12
Pros from Membersbull Interoperability as Mission for ITU (Res 71 ndash Strategic Plan)
bull Res 76 intended to assist DCs and manufacturers should contribute to its implementation
bull Examples of problems associated with interoperability and conformance of equipments and systems Documentation submitted to TSB so far
bull The conformance database would be exceedingly useful for operators and end users for whom equipment are manufactured Good experience in this field is proven by existing DBs from other SDOs
bull Confidence of users in the kind of equipment they buy is more important than how quickly they appear on the market
bull ITU-T Recommendations must be studied in view of conformance assessment and interoperability testing as relevant
bull Some of them already ensure interoperability of products provided
by different manufacturers For these Recommendations conformance and interoperability testing are complementary considering that conformance is the first step to enable interoperability

NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULEMAKING Adopted May 15 2000 Released May 22 2000
bull Item 68 Declaration of Conformity
(omissis)helliphellipDoC is a procedure under which the party responsible for the equipments compliance with specific technical parameters the manufacturer importer or assembler causes measurements to be made of equipment performance with regard to those parameters The party performing such measurements must be accredited for doing so by an authorized accreditation body based on the International Organization for Standardization and International Electrotechnical Commission (ISOIEC) Guide 25 (omissis)
bull Item 76 Database of Approved or Certified Equipment
Currently the Commission maintains a data base of terminal equipment registered pursuant to Part 68 Consistent with our proposal in this Notice to privatize many of the Commissionrsquos current Part 68 functions we propose that a private entity be responsible for sponsoring and maintaining a similar database We propose that entities obtaining equipment approval from TCBs and entities using either DoC or verification be required to submit pertinent information regarding their identity and approved equipment to a database administrator (omissis)
A nationwide data base ameliorates concerns regarding the potentially adverse impact of non-compliant CPE on the PSTN (omissis)
CampI Nairobi 30-31 July 2010
The FCC-Administrative Council for Terminal Attachment
ACTA (TIA-ATIS) DatabaseRef FCC 00-400 of 21 December 2000
bull (item 108) the database ldquowill permit interested parties such as the Commission providers of telecommunications and consumers to track and identify suppliers or importers of non-compliant equipment As such the database should ameliorate concerns regarding the potentially adverse impact of non-compliant terminal equipment on the PSTN by ensuring that suppliers are held accountable for any damage their equipment may cause to the PSTNrdquo
Registration Numbering and Labeling bull (Item 81) As stated previously when the Commission determines that a
piece of terminal equipment meets the technical requirements for that equipment the Commission assigns a unique registration number to that piece of equipment We tentatively conclude that although the Commission will no longer be responsible for CPE registration some form of unique identifying label must be applied to all terminal equipment This identifying label is necessary to adequately identify CPE as an approved piece of terminal equipment that customers are entitled to connect to the PSTN (omissis)

Is ITU CampI DB creating confusion on the marketplace The GCF ndash Certific explained
bull Manufacturers who certify their mobile devices to GCF rules and procedures are assured that
ndash their products will benefit from a high degree of interoperabilityndash time-to-market for new products is reduced using this respected
one-stop verification process ndash expensive and time-consuming duplication of testing effort can be
avoided
bull With GCFs tested once use anywhere maxim manufacturers can significantly reduce the requirement for operator acceptance testing if presenting GCF certified devices
bull GCF Certification delivers extra confidence throughout the mobile value chain by demonstrating that a mobile phone or wireless deviceis compliant with requirements agreed by GCF which in turn reference core and test specifications published by recognised standards organisations and other industry forums
bull will interoperate correctly when used on a variety of digital mobile networks

The step-by-step approachbull How long will each step be [time] and how many steps are
foreseen
bull Are the industry the operating companies regulators and end-users willing to wait for the results of the proposed multi-year step-by-step approach before deciding how to make investments and how to deploy new risk-free technologies
bull To gain time we can benefit of the step-by-step approaches followed by others SDOs Especially those that found reasonable and frutful the creation of a conformity database
bull A step-by-step approach that benefits of the experience of others SDOs should be developed in parallel to the implementation of the Res 76 46 and to the action lines endorsed by Council-09Considering the activities of other SDOs well consolidated the ldquoITU parallel step-by-steprdquo approach will allow
ndash To satisfy needs of vendors and customersndash To fine-tuning the activities of ITU on res 76 and 47ndash To give advice to ITU Study Groups to consider for new studies for test
suites as neededndash A better coordination with other SDOs in the field of CampI

Addressing interoperability is one of the very reasons for founding ITU and for which Experts in ITU-T Study Groups
are engaged in developing Recommendations and test suites
There is no point in developing test suites if ITU does not give some recognition to
manufactures having their equipment tested to ITU-T Recommendations
TSB is committed to consulting and collaborating with all the ITU-T membership to ensure the successful
implementation of Resolution 76 as endorsed by the ITU Council

bull Item 68 Declaration of Conformity
(omissis)helliphellipDoC is a procedure under which the party responsible for the equipments compliance with specific technical parameters the manufacturer importer or assembler causes measurements to be made of equipment performance with regard to those parameters The party performing such measurements must be accredited for doing so by an authorized accreditation body based on the International Organization for Standardization and International Electrotechnical Commission (ISOIEC) Guide 25 (omissis)
bull Item 76 Database of Approved or Certified Equipment
Currently the Commission maintains a data base of terminal equipment registered pursuant to Part 68 Consistent with our proposal in this Notice to privatize many of the Commissionrsquos current Part 68 functions we propose that a private entity be responsible for sponsoring and maintaining a similar database We propose that entities obtaining equipment approval from TCBs and entities using either DoC or verification be required to submit pertinent information regarding their identity and approved equipment to a database administrator (omissis)

Registration Numbering and Labeling bull (Item 81) As stated previously when the Commission determines that a
piece of terminal equipment meets the technical requirements for that equipment the Commission assigns a unique registration number to that piece of equipment We tentatively conclude that although the Commission will no longer be responsible for CPE registration some form of unique identifying label must be applied to all terminal equipment This identifying label is necessary to adequately identify CPE as an approved piece of terminal equipment that customers are entitled to connect to the PSTN (omissis)

Addressing interoperability is one of the very reasons for founding ITU and for which Experts in ITU-T Study Groups
are engaged in developing Recommendations and test suites
There is no point in developing test suites if ITU does not give some recognition to
manufactures having their equipment tested to ITU-T Recommendations
TSB is committed to consulting and collaborating with all the ITU-T membership to ensure the successful
implementation of Resolution 76 as endorsed by the ITU Council

Cons from Members
bull The database presents both legal and associated financial liability risks for the ITU and the ICT industry
bull A step-by-step approach should be taken in order to take into account the concerns of the membership as ITU moves forward in implementing the action lines adopted by Council 2009
bull The use of accredited test labs is time consuming and expensive delaying usersrsquo access to technology and slowing global trade
bull TSB should first prepare a business plan to establish the real costs potential liabilities and measurable benefits to society before launching the ITU-T Conformity Database
bull Test centres in developing countries according to one contributor would lead to confusion in the market place
CampI Nairobi 30-31 July 2010 12
Pros from Membersbull Interoperability as Mission for ITU (Res 71 ndash Strategic Plan)
bull Res 76 intended to assist DCs and manufacturers should contribute to its implementation
bull Examples of problems associated with interoperability and conformance of equipments and systems Documentation submitted to TSB so far
bull The conformance database would be exceedingly useful for operators and end users for whom equipment are manufactured Good experience in this field is proven by existing DBs from other SDOs
bull Confidence of users in the kind of equipment they buy is more important than how quickly they appear on the market
bull ITU-T Recommendations must be studied in view of conformance assessment and interoperability testing as relevant
bull Some of them already ensure interoperability of products provided
by different manufacturers For these Recommendations conformance and interoperability testing are complementary considering that conformance is the first step to enable interoperability

Cons from Members
bull The database presents both legal and associated financial liability risks for the ITU and the ICT industry
bull A step-by-step approach should be taken in order to take into account the concerns of the membership as ITU moves forward in implementing the action lines adopted by Council 2009
bull The use of accredited test labs is time consuming and expensive delaying usersrsquo access to technology and slowing global trade
bull TSB should first prepare a business plan to establish the real costs potential liabilities and measurable benefits to society before launching the ITU-T Conformity Database
bull Test centres in developing countries according to one contributor would lead to confusion in the market place
CampI Nairobi 30-31 July 2010 12
Pros from Membersbull Interoperability as Mission for ITU (Res 71 ndash Strategic Plan)
bull Res 76 intended to assist DCs and manufacturers should contribute to its implementation
bull Examples of problems associated with interoperability and conformance of equipments and systems Documentation submitted to TSB so far
bull The conformance database would be exceedingly useful for operators and end users for whom equipment are manufactured Good experience in this field is proven by existing DBs from other SDOs
bull Confidence of users in the kind of equipment they buy is more important than how quickly they appear on the market
bull ITU-T Recommendations must be studied in view of conformance assessment and interoperability testing as relevant
bull Some of them already ensure interoperability of products provided
by different manufacturers For these Recommendations conformance and interoperability testing are complementary considering that conformance is the first step to enable interoperability

NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULEMAKING Adopted May 15 2000 Released May 22 2000
bull Item 68 Declaration of Conformity
(omissis)helliphellipDoC is a procedure under which the party responsible for the equipments compliance with specific technical parameters the manufacturer importer or assembler causes measurements to be made of equipment performance with regard to those parameters The party performing such measurements must be accredited for doing so by an authorized accreditation body based on the International Organization for Standardization and International Electrotechnical Commission (ISOIEC) Guide 25 (omissis)
bull Item 76 Database of Approved or Certified Equipment
Currently the Commission maintains a data base of terminal equipment registered pursuant to Part 68 Consistent with our proposal in this Notice to privatize many of the Commissionrsquos current Part 68 functions we propose that a private entity be responsible for sponsoring and maintaining a similar database We propose that entities obtaining equipment approval from TCBs and entities using either DoC or verification be required to submit pertinent information regarding their identity and approved equipment to a database administrator (omissis)
A nationwide data base ameliorates concerns regarding the potentially adverse impact of non-compliant CPE on the PSTN (omissis)
CampI Nairobi 30-31 July 2010
The FCC-Administrative Council for Terminal Attachment
ACTA (TIA-ATIS) DatabaseRef FCC 00-400 of 21 December 2000
bull (item 108) the database ldquowill permit interested parties such as the Commission providers of telecommunications and consumers to track and identify suppliers or importers of non-compliant equipment As such the database should ameliorate concerns regarding the potentially adverse impact of non-compliant terminal equipment on the PSTN by ensuring that suppliers are held accountable for any damage their equipment may cause to the PSTNrdquo
Registration Numbering and Labeling bull (Item 81) As stated previously when the Commission determines that a
piece of terminal equipment meets the technical requirements for that equipment the Commission assigns a unique registration number to that piece of equipment We tentatively conclude that although the Commission will no longer be responsible for CPE registration some form of unique identifying label must be applied to all terminal equipment This identifying label is necessary to adequately identify CPE as an approved piece of terminal equipment that customers are entitled to connect to the PSTN (omissis)

Is ITU CampI DB creating confusion on the marketplace The GCF ndash Certific explained
bull Manufacturers who certify their mobile devices to GCF rules and procedures are assured that
ndash their products will benefit from a high degree of interoperabilityndash time-to-market for new products is reduced using this respected
one-stop verification process ndash expensive and time-consuming duplication of testing effort can be
avoided
bull With GCFs tested once use anywhere maxim manufacturers can significantly reduce the requirement for operator acceptance testing if presenting GCF certified devices
bull GCF Certification delivers extra confidence throughout the mobile value chain by demonstrating that a mobile phone or wireless deviceis compliant with requirements agreed by GCF which in turn reference core and test specifications published by recognised standards organisations and other industry forums
bull will interoperate correctly when used on a variety of digital mobile networks

The step-by-step approachbull How long will each step be [time] and how many steps are
foreseen
bull Are the industry the operating companies regulators and end-users willing to wait for the results of the proposed multi-year step-by-step approach before deciding how to make investments and how to deploy new risk-free technologies
bull To gain time we can benefit of the step-by-step approaches followed by others SDOs Especially those that found reasonable and frutful the creation of a conformity database
bull A step-by-step approach that benefits of the experience of others SDOs should be developed in parallel to the implementation of the Res 76 46 and to the action lines endorsed by Council-09Considering the activities of other SDOs well consolidated the ldquoITU parallel step-by-steprdquo approach will allow
ndash To satisfy needs of vendors and customersndash To fine-tuning the activities of ITU on res 76 and 47ndash To give advice to ITU Study Groups to consider for new studies for test

Addressing interoperability is one of the very reasons for founding ITU and for which Experts in ITU-T Study Groups
are engaged in developing Recommendations and test suites
There is no point in developing test suites if ITU does not give some recognition to
manufactures having their equipment tested to ITU-T Recommendations
TSB is committed to consulting and collaborating with all the ITU-T membership to ensure the successful
implementation of Resolution 76 as endorsed by the ITU Council

piece of terminal equipment meets the technical requirements for that equipment the Commission assigns a unique registration number to that piece of equipment We tentatively conclude that although the Commission will no longer be responsible for CPE registration some form of unique identifying label must be applied to all terminal equipment This identifying label is necessary to adequately identify CPE as an approved piece of terminal equipment that customers are entitled to connect to the PSTN (omissis)

Addressing interoperability is one of the very reasons for founding ITU and for which Experts in ITU-T Study Groups
are engaged in developing Recommendations and test suites
There is no point in developing test suites if ITU does not give some recognition to
manufactures having their equipment tested to ITU-T Recommendations
TSB is committed to consulting and collaborating with all the ITU-T membership to ensure the successful
implementation of Resolution 76 as endorsed by the ITU Council

Cons from Members
bull The database presents both legal and associated financial liability risks for the ITU and the ICT industry
bull A step-by-step approach should be taken in order to take into account the concerns of the membership as ITU moves forward in implementing the action lines adopted by Council 2009
bull The use of accredited test labs is time consuming and expensive delaying usersrsquo access to technology and slowing global trade
bull TSB should first prepare a business plan to establish the real costs potential liabilities and measurable benefits to society before launching the ITU-T Conformity Database
bull Test centres in developing countries according to one contributor would lead to confusion in the market place
CampI Nairobi 30-31 July 2010 12
Pros from Membersbull Interoperability as Mission for ITU (Res 71 ndash Strategic Plan)
bull Res 76 intended to assist DCs and manufacturers should contribute to its implementation
bull Examples of problems associated with interoperability and conformance of equipments and systems Documentation submitted to TSB so far
bull The conformance database would be exceedingly useful for operators and end users for whom equipment are manufactured Good experience in this field is proven by existing DBs from other SDOs
bull Confidence of users in the kind of equipment they buy is more important than how quickly they appear on the market
bull ITU-T Recommendations must be studied in view of conformance assessment and interoperability testing as relevant
bull Some of them already ensure interoperability of products provided
by different manufacturers For these Recommendations conformance and interoperability testing are complementary considering that conformance is the first step to enable interoperability

NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULEMAKING Adopted May 15 2000 Released May 22 2000
bull Item 68 Declaration of Conformity
(omissis)helliphellipDoC is a procedure under which the party responsible for the equipments compliance with specific technical parameters the manufacturer importer or assembler causes measurements to be made of equipment performance with regard to those parameters The party performing such measurements must be accredited for doing so by an authorized accreditation body based on the International Organization for Standardization and International Electrotechnical Commission (ISOIEC) Guide 25 (omissis)
bull Item 76 Database of Approved or Certified Equipment
Currently the Commission maintains a data base of terminal equipment registered pursuant to Part 68 Consistent with our proposal in this Notice to privatize many of the Commissionrsquos current Part 68 functions we propose that a private entity be responsible for sponsoring and maintaining a similar database We propose that entities obtaining equipment approval from TCBs and entities using either DoC or verification be required to submit pertinent information regarding their identity and approved equipment to a database administrator (omissis)
A nationwide data base ameliorates concerns regarding the potentially adverse impact of non-compliant CPE on the PSTN (omissis)
CampI Nairobi 30-31 July 2010
The FCC-Administrative Council for Terminal Attachment
ACTA (TIA-ATIS) DatabaseRef FCC 00-400 of 21 December 2000
bull (item 108) the database ldquowill permit interested parties such as the Commission providers of telecommunications and consumers to track and identify suppliers or importers of non-compliant equipment As such the database should ameliorate concerns regarding the potentially adverse impact of non-compliant terminal equipment on the PSTN by ensuring that suppliers are held accountable for any damage their equipment may cause to the PSTNrdquo
Registration Numbering and Labeling bull (Item 81) As stated previously when the Commission determines that a
piece of terminal equipment meets the technical requirements for that equipment the Commission assigns a unique registration number to that piece of equipment We tentatively conclude that although the Commission will no longer be responsible for CPE registration some form of unique identifying label must be applied to all terminal equipment This identifying label is necessary to adequately identify CPE as an approved piece of terminal equipment that customers are entitled to connect to the PSTN (omissis)

Is ITU CampI DB creating confusion on the marketplace The GCF ndash Certific explained
bull Manufacturers who certify their mobile devices to GCF rules and procedures are assured that
ndash their products will benefit from a high degree of interoperabilityndash time-to-market for new products is reduced using this respected
one-stop verification process ndash expensive and time-consuming duplication of testing effort can be
avoided
bull With GCFs tested once use anywhere maxim manufacturers can significantly reduce the requirement for operator acceptance testing if presenting GCF certified devices
bull GCF Certification delivers extra confidence throughout the mobile value chain by demonstrating that a mobile phone or wireless deviceis compliant with requirements agreed by GCF which in turn reference core and test specifications published by recognised standards organisations and other industry forums
bull will interoperate correctly when used on a variety of digital mobile networks

foreseen
bull Are the industry the operating companies regulators and end-users willing to wait for the results of the proposed multi-year step-by-step approach before deciding how to make investments and how to deploy new risk-free technologies
bull To gain time we can benefit of the step-by-step approaches followed by others SDOs Especially those that found reasonable and frutful the creation of a conformity database
bull A step-by-step approach that benefits of the experience of others SDOs should be developed in parallel to the implementation of the Res 76 46 and to the action lines endorsed by Council-09Considering the activities of other SDOs well consolidated the ldquoITU parallel step-by-steprdquo approach will allow

Addressing interoperability is one of the very reasons for founding ITU and for which Experts in ITU-T Study Groups
are engaged in developing Recommendations and test suites
There is no point in developing test suites if ITU does not give some recognition to
manufactures having their equipment tested to ITU-T Recommendations
TSB is committed to consulting and collaborating with all the ITU-T membership to ensure the successful
implementation of Resolution 76 as endorsed by the ITU Council

Cons from Members
bull The database presents both legal and associated financial liability risks for the ITU and the ICT industry
bull A step-by-step approach should be taken in order to take into account the concerns of the membership as ITU moves forward in implementing the action lines adopted by Council 2009
bull The use of accredited test labs is time consuming and expensive delaying usersrsquo access to technology and slowing global trade
bull TSB should first prepare a business plan to establish the real costs potential liabilities and measurable benefits to society before launching the ITU-T Conformity Database
bull Test centres in developing countries according to one contributor would lead to confusion in the market place
CampI Nairobi 30-31 July 2010 12
Pros from Membersbull Interoperability as Mission for ITU (Res 71 ndash Strategic Plan)
bull Res 76 intended to assist DCs and manufacturers should contribute to its implementation
bull Examples of problems associated with interoperability and conformance of equipments and systems Documentation submitted to TSB so far
bull The conformance database would be exceedingly useful for operators and end users for whom equipment are manufactured Good experience in this field is proven by existing DBs from other SDOs
bull Confidence of users in the kind of equipment they buy is more important than how quickly they appear on the market
bull ITU-T Recommendations must be studied in view of conformance assessment and interoperability testing as relevant
bull Some of them already ensure interoperability of products provided
by different manufacturers For these Recommendations conformance and interoperability testing are complementary considering that conformance is the first step to enable interoperability

Addressing interoperability is one of the very reasons for founding ITU and for which Experts in ITU-T Study Groups
are engaged in developing Recommendations and test suites
There is no point in developing test suites if ITU does not give some recognition to
manufactures having their equipment tested to ITU-T Recommendations
TSB is committed to consulting and collaborating with all the ITU-T membership to ensure the successful
implementation of Resolution 76 as endorsed by the ITU Council

Cons from Members
bull The database presents both legal and associated financial liability risks for the ITU and the ICT industry
bull A step-by-step approach should be taken in order to take into account the concerns of the membership as ITU moves forward in implementing the action lines adopted by Council 2009
bull The use of accredited test labs is time consuming and expensive delaying usersrsquo access to technology and slowing global trade
bull TSB should first prepare a business plan to establish the real costs potential liabilities and measurable benefits to society before launching the ITU-T Conformity Database
bull Test centres in developing countries according to one contributor would lead to confusion in the market place
CampI Nairobi 30-31 July 2010 12
Pros from Membersbull Interoperability as Mission for ITU (Res 71 ndash Strategic Plan)
bull Res 76 intended to assist DCs and manufacturers should contribute to its implementation
bull Examples of problems associated with interoperability and conformance of equipments and systems Documentation submitted to TSB so far
bull The conformance database would be exceedingly useful for operators and end users for whom equipment are manufactured Good experience in this field is proven by existing DBs from other SDOs
bull Confidence of users in the kind of equipment they buy is more important than how quickly they appear on the market
bull ITU-T Recommendations must be studied in view of conformance assessment and interoperability testing as relevant
bull Some of them already ensure interoperability of products provided
by different manufacturers For these Recommendations conformance and interoperability testing are complementary considering that conformance is the first step to enable interoperability

bull Item 68 Declaration of Conformity
(omissis)helliphellipDoC is a procedure under which the party responsible for the equipments compliance with specific technical parameters the manufacturer importer or assembler causes measurements to be made of equipment performance with regard to those parameters The party performing such measurements must be accredited for doing so by an authorized accreditation body based on the International Organization for Standardization and International Electrotechnical Commission (ISOIEC) Guide 25 (omissis)
bull Item 76 Database of Approved or Certified Equipment
Currently the Commission maintains a data base of terminal equipment registered pursuant to Part 68 Consistent with our proposal in this Notice to privatize many of the Commissionrsquos current Part 68 functions we propose that a private entity be responsible for sponsoring and maintaining a similar database We propose that entities obtaining equipment approval from TCBs and entities using either DoC or verification be required to submit pertinent information regarding their identity and approved equipment to a database administrator (omissis)
A nationwide data base ameliorates concerns regarding the potentially adverse impact of non-compliant CPE on the PSTN (omissis)

bull (item 108) the database ldquowill permit interested parties such as the Commission providers of telecommunications and consumers to track and identify suppliers or importers of non-compliant equipment As such the database should ameliorate concerns regarding the potentially adverse impact of non-compliant terminal equipment on the PSTN by ensuring that suppliers are held accountable for any damage their equipment may cause to the PSTNrdquo
Registration Numbering and Labeling bull (Item 81) As stated previously when the Commission determines that a
piece of terminal equipment meets the technical requirements for that equipment the Commission assigns a unique registration number to that piece of equipment We tentatively conclude that although the Commission will no longer be responsible for CPE registration some form of unique identifying label must be applied to all terminal equipment This identifying label is necessary to adequately identify CPE as an approved piece of terminal equipment that customers are entitled to connect to the PSTN (omissis)

bull Manufacturers who certify their mobile devices to GCF rules and procedures are assured that
ndash their products will benefit from a high degree of interoperabilityndash time-to-market for new products is reduced using this respected
one-stop verification process ndash expensive and time-consuming duplication of testing effort can be
avoided
bull With GCFs tested once use anywhere maxim manufacturers can significantly reduce the requirement for operator acceptance testing if presenting GCF certified devices
bull GCF Certification delivers extra confidence throughout the mobile value chain by demonstrating that a mobile phone or wireless deviceis compliant with requirements agreed by GCF which in turn reference core and test specifications published by recognised standards organisations and other industry forums

Is ITU CampI DB creating confusion on the marketplace The GCF ndash Certific explained
bull Manufacturers who certify their mobile devices to GCF rules and procedures are assured that
ndash their products will benefit from a high degree of interoperabilityndash time-to-market for new products is reduced using this respected
one-stop verification process ndash expensive and time-consuming duplication of testing effort can be
avoided
bull With GCFs tested once use anywhere maxim manufacturers can significantly reduce the requirement for operator acceptance testing if presenting GCF certified devices
bull GCF Certification delivers extra confidence throughout the mobile value chain by demonstrating that a mobile phone or wireless deviceis compliant with requirements agreed by GCF which in turn reference core and test specifications published by recognised standards organisations and other industry forums
bull will interoperate correctly when used on a variety of digital mobile networks

Addressing interoperability is one of the very reasons for founding ITU and for which Experts in ITU-T Study Groups
are engaged in developing Recommendations and test suites
There is no point in developing test suites if ITU does not give some recognition to
manufactures having their equipment tested to ITU-T Recommendations
TSB is committed to consulting and collaborating with all the ITU-T membership to ensure the successful
implementation of Resolution 76 as endorsed by the ITU Council

Cons from Members
bull The database presents both legal and associated financial liability risks for the ITU and the ICT industry
bull A step-by-step approach should be taken in order to take into account the concerns of the membership as ITU moves forward in implementing the action lines adopted by Council 2009
bull The use of accredited test labs is time consuming and expensive delaying usersrsquo access to technology and slowing global trade
bull TSB should first prepare a business plan to establish the real costs potential liabilities and measurable benefits to society before launching the ITU-T Conformity Database
bull Test centres in developing countries according to one contributor would lead to confusion in the market place

(omissis)helliphellipDoC is a procedure under which the party responsible for the equipments compliance with specific technical parameters the manufacturer importer or assembler causes measurements to be made of equipment performance with regard to those parameters The party performing such measurements must be accredited for doing so by an authorized accreditation body based on the International Organization for Standardization and International Electrotechnical Commission (ISOIEC) Guide 25 (omissis)
bull Item 76 Database of Approved or Certified Equipment
Currently the Commission maintains a data base of terminal equipment registered pursuant to Part 68 Consistent with our proposal in this Notice to privatize many of the Commissionrsquos current Part 68 functions we propose that a private entity be responsible for sponsoring and maintaining a similar database We propose that entities obtaining equipment approval from TCBs and entities using either DoC or verification be required to submit pertinent information regarding their identity and approved equipment to a database administrator (omissis)

Registration Numbering and Labeling bull (Item 81) As stated previously when the Commission determines that a
piece of terminal equipment meets the technical requirements for that equipment the Commission assigns a unique registration number to that piece of equipment We tentatively conclude that although the Commission will no longer be responsible for CPE registration some form of unique identifying label must be applied to all terminal equipment This identifying label is necessary to adequately identify CPE as an approved piece of terminal equipment that customers are entitled to connect to the PSTN (omissis)

bull Item 68 Declaration of Conformity
(omissis)helliphellipDoC is a procedure under which the party responsible for the equipments compliance with specific technical parameters the manufacturer importer or assembler causes measurements to be made of equipment performance with regard to those parameters The party performing such measurements must be accredited for doing so by an authorized accreditation body based on the International Organization for Standardization and International Electrotechnical Commission (ISOIEC) Guide 25 (omissis)
bull Item 76 Database of Approved or Certified Equipment
Currently the Commission maintains a data base of terminal equipment registered pursuant to Part 68 Consistent with our proposal in this Notice to privatize many of the Commissionrsquos current Part 68 functions we propose that a private entity be responsible for sponsoring and maintaining a similar database We propose that entities obtaining equipment approval from TCBs and entities using either DoC or verification be required to submit pertinent information regarding their identity and approved equipment to a database administrator (omissis)

bull (item 108) the database ldquowill permit interested parties such as the Commission providers of telecommunications and consumers to track and identify suppliers or importers of non-compliant equipment As such the database should ameliorate concerns regarding the potentially adverse impact of non-compliant terminal equipment on the PSTN by ensuring that suppliers are held accountable for any damage their equipment may cause to the PSTNrdquo
Registration Numbering and Labeling bull (Item 81) As stated previously when the Commission determines that a
piece of terminal equipment meets the technical requirements for that equipment the Commission assigns a unique registration number to that piece of equipment We tentatively conclude that although the Commission will no longer be responsible for CPE registration some form of unique identifying label must be applied to all terminal equipment This identifying label is necessary to adequately identify CPE as an approved piece of terminal equipment that customers are entitled to connect to the PSTN (omissis)

bull With GCFs tested once use anywhere maxim manufacturers can significantly reduce the requirement for operator acceptance testing if presenting GCF certified devices
bull GCF Certification delivers extra confidence throughout the mobile value chain by demonstrating that a mobile phone or wireless deviceis compliant with requirements agreed by GCF which in turn reference core and test specifications published by recognised standards organisations and other industry forums

(omissis)helliphellipDoC is a procedure under which the party responsible for the equipments compliance with specific technical parameters the manufacturer importer or assembler causes measurements to be made of equipment performance with regard to those parameters The party performing such measurements must be accredited for doing so by an authorized accreditation body based on the International Organization for Standardization and International Electrotechnical Commission (ISOIEC) Guide 25 (omissis)
bull Item 76 Database of Approved or Certified Equipment
Currently the Commission maintains a data base of terminal equipment registered pursuant to Part 68 Consistent with our proposal in this Notice to privatize many of the Commissionrsquos current Part 68 functions we propose that a private entity be responsible for sponsoring and maintaining a similar database We propose that entities obtaining equipment approval from TCBs and entities using either DoC or verification be required to submit pertinent information regarding their identity and approved equipment to a database administrator (omissis)

bull (item 108) the database ldquowill permit interested parties such as the Commission providers of telecommunications and consumers to track and identify suppliers or importers of non-compliant equipment As such the database should ameliorate concerns regarding the potentially adverse impact of non-compliant terminal equipment on the PSTN by ensuring that suppliers are held accountable for any damage their equipment may cause to the PSTNrdquo
Registration Numbering and Labeling bull (Item 81) As stated previously when the Commission determines that a
piece of terminal equipment meets the technical requirements for that equipment the Commission assigns a unique registration number to that piece of equipment We tentatively conclude that although the Commission will no longer be responsible for CPE registration some form of unique identifying label must be applied to all terminal equipment This identifying label is necessary to adequately identify CPE as an approved piece of terminal equipment that customers are entitled to connect to the PSTN (omissis)

NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULEMAKING Adopted May 15 2000 Released May 22 2000
bull Item 68 Declaration of Conformity
(omissis)helliphellipDoC is a procedure under which the party responsible for the equipments compliance with specific technical parameters the manufacturer importer or assembler causes measurements to be made of equipment performance with regard to those parameters The party performing such measurements must be accredited for doing so by an authorized accreditation body based on the International Organization for Standardization and International Electrotechnical Commission (ISOIEC) Guide 25 (omissis)
bull Item 76 Database of Approved or Certified Equipment
Currently the Commission maintains a data base of terminal equipment registered pursuant to Part 68 Consistent with our proposal in this Notice to privatize many of the Commissionrsquos current Part 68 functions we propose that a private entity be responsible for sponsoring and maintaining a similar database We propose that entities obtaining equipment approval from TCBs and entities using either DoC or verification be required to submit pertinent information regarding their identity and approved equipment to a database administrator (omissis)
A nationwide data base ameliorates concerns regarding the potentially adverse impact of non-compliant CPE on the PSTN (omissis)

bull (item 108) the database ldquowill permit interested parties such as the Commission providers of telecommunications and consumers to track and identify suppliers or importers of non-compliant equipment As such the database should ameliorate concerns regarding the potentially adverse impact of non-compliant terminal equipment on the PSTN by ensuring that suppliers are held accountable for any damage their equipment may cause to the PSTNrdquo
Registration Numbering and Labeling bull (Item 81) As stated previously when the Commission determines that a
piece of terminal equipment meets the technical requirements for that equipment the Commission assigns a unique registration number to that piece of equipment We tentatively conclude that although the Commission will no longer be responsible for CPE registration some form of unique identifying label must be applied to all terminal equipment This identifying label is necessary to adequately identify CPE as an approved piece of terminal equipment that customers are entitled to connect to the PSTN (omissis)

Registration Numbering and Labeling bull (Item 81) As stated previously when the Commission determines that a
piece of terminal equipment meets the technical requirements for that equipment the Commission assigns a unique registration number to that piece of equipment We tentatively conclude that although the Commission will no longer be responsible for CPE registration some form of unique identifying label must be applied to all terminal equipment This identifying label is necessary to adequately identify CPE as an approved piece of terminal equipment that customers are entitled to connect to the PSTN (omissis)

Registration Numbering and Labeling bull (Item 81) As stated previously when the Commission determines that a
piece of terminal equipment meets the technical requirements for that equipment the Commission assigns a unique registration number to that piece of equipment We tentatively conclude that although the Commission will no longer be responsible for CPE registration some form of unique identifying label must be applied to all terminal equipment This identifying label is necessary to adequately identify CPE as an approved piece of terminal equipment that customers are entitled to connect to the PSTN (omissis)

(omissis)helliphellipDoC is a procedure under which the party responsible for the equipments compliance with specific technical parameters the manufacturer importer or assembler causes measurements to be made of equipment performance with regard to those parameters The party performing such measurements must be accredited for doing so by an authorized accreditation body based on the International Organization for Standardization and International Electrotechnical Commission (ISOIEC) Guide 25 (omissis)
bull Item 76 Database of Approved or Certified Equipment
Currently the Commission maintains a data base of terminal equipment registered pursuant to Part 68 Consistent with our proposal in this Notice to privatize many of the Commissionrsquos current Part 68 functions we propose that a private entity be responsible for sponsoring and maintaining a similar database We propose that entities obtaining equipment approval from TCBs and entities using either DoC or verification be required to submit pertinent information regarding their identity and approved equipment to a database administrator (omissis)

Registration Numbering and Labeling bull (Item 81) As stated previously when the Commission determines that a
piece of terminal equipment meets the technical requirements for that equipment the Commission assigns a unique registration number to that piece of equipment We tentatively conclude that although the Commission will no longer be responsible for CPE registration some form of unique identifying label must be applied to all terminal equipment This identifying label is necessary to adequately identify CPE as an approved piece of terminal equipment that customers are entitled to connect to the PSTN (omissis)
