This liaison answers SG15 - LS 185.
ITU-T SG11 would like to thank ITU-T SG15 for their liaison (SG15 LS185) informing on their
work item which is related to conformance and interoperability testing. SG11 highly evaluates such
an activity and recognizes that the OMCI-EPON conformance testing is driven by market need.
SG11 will incorporate this update into the living list of suitable ITU-T Recommendations on key
technologies for C&I testing, which is publically available at http://itu.int/go/key-technologies.
For your information, ITU launched Product Conformity Database in December 2014 to promote
conformity assessment to ITU Recommendations and to assist purchaser (e.g. customer, operator,
regulator, etc.) in their efforts to select standards-compliant products. First entries to this database
are e-health devices which conform to Recommendations ITU-T H.810-series. This has been
achieved as a result of close collaboration between ITU and Continua Health Alliance (ITU pressrelease).
In March 2015, at the request of the automotive industry, ITU published the whitelist of mobile
phones which successfully passed tests against ITU-T P.1100/P.1110 to address the great variance

observed in the behaviour of phones when operating within hands-free terminals (HFTs) installed in
vehicles. These whitelisted phones were also registered in the Product Conformity Database.
As the Lead Study Group for C&I, SG11 encourages pilot projects for conformity assessment
against ITU-T Recs which aim to develop missing test specifications if needed and to perform C&I
testing against particular ITU-T Recommendation(s). ITU-T SG11 started a conformance testing
pilot project on “Network management interface” (ITU-T M.3170-series) in collaboration with
ITU-T SG2. Another conformance testing pilot project on Mobile Number Portability (based on
ITU-T Q.suppl.4) is expected soon. One outcome of these pilot project(s) could be to populate the
ITU-T Product Conformity Database with tested ICT equipment(s).
Given the progress of ITU-T SG15 on the Implementer’s Guide for OMCI-EPON C&I tests, ITU-T
SG11 would like to invite ITU-T SG15 to start a pilot project on conformance testing of OMCIEPON systems against ITU-T G.9801. In case of interest, please respond with information filled in
the attached application form.
SG11 looks forward to continuing cooperation with ITU-T SG15 on C&I activities and would
appreciate any progress on this item as well as other ITU-T SG15 activities on C&I testing.
