| Abstract: | By the end of 1988, the International Standards Organization (ISO) will have approved many of the major communications standards in the OSI seven-layer model of communications standards. For users to benefit, these standards will have to be applied in real products. Internationally aligned and widely accepted conformance testing and certification procedures are needed. The testing of communications equipment is also necessary. Beyond the test of conformance there are problems in relation to performance and usefulness. The requirements of successful testing are summarized. The danger of developing rifts between the US, Japan, and Europe is mentioned. |
