Project 25 Documents & Standards Reference
Testing Documents
To demonstrate compliance with the protocol specifications, a set of test documents is defined for manufacturers. Users and testing laboratories can also use test documents as a basis for independent assessment of P25 systems and equipment in relation to user requirements.
The Conformance Test Procedures documents test for conformance to the associated protocol documents. For example, such tests may be used to assess the conformance of P25 services involving the interconnection of different agencies’ P25 systems at a P25 reference point.
The Measurements Methods documents and Performance Recommendations documents quantify service setup times, throughput delay times, bandwidths, co- and adjacent channel factors, etc. for a system component or service to ensure that the radio systems:
o Conform to radio and network regulations
o Behave as good neighbors to the systems of nearby agencies
o Satisfy user performance requirements
The Interoperability Test Procedures documents describe tests for operational equipment to assure users that equipment supplied by different manufacturers can indeed be trusted to interoperate under the conditions defined by the standards. For example, such tests may be used to assess the interoperability of P25 services involving the interconnection of different agencies’ P25 systems at a P25 reference point.
