Standard and conformance testing
Ensuring standards-compliant quality
With their recommendations and standards, international standardization bodies provide requirements for a wide range of communication devices. Standards-compliant testing ensures that devices meet minimum requirements for voice and audio quality, which benefits users and manufacturers alike. For device manufacturers, these tests are vital because they demonstrate to customers, competitors and approval committees that a device meets the relevant standards. This validation is often mandatory to gain access to the market. Standards-compliant testing also ensures that devices are compatible with other devices. Special standards allow further product differentiation regarding user-relevant quality criteria.
Standard-compliant testing and product optimization
As early as the development phase, manufacturers of audio and communication devices have to check whether specific standards – or even approval-relevant standards – apply to their product. If so, they have to ask themselves the following questions:
- What is the latest version of the standard?
- Are all measurements available?
- How do we ensure standards-compliant measurement procedures?
- How do we document these tests?
The implementation of standards-compliant measurements in the laboratory is anything but trivial for manufacturers and test houses. In addition to the correct implementation of the standards, measurement technology is required that not only covers all test procedures but also provides the necessary test hardware.
