7.5 GCF and PTCRB

Conformance test and declaration are required for establishing that the GSM and
WCDMA terminals to be sold in a region meet the requirements of the local carriers
and networks.
Global Certification Forum (GCF) and PTCRB certifications are recognized in most
regions all around the world. Most operators all round the world accept either
certification as one of the market entry conditions.

7.5.1 GCF Certification

The GCF is an active partnership between European mobile device manufacturers
and mobile network operators.
According to the R&TTE Directive 1999/95/EC issued in 2001, authorized test
organizations or manufacturers should perform final conformance tests of GSM
terminals in compliance with the GCF certification criteria (GCF-CC). Manufacturers
then should prepare a DOC and take all responsibilities for quality of the equipment.
The GCF officially launched the 3G WCDMA certification program in February 2005.
The GCF plays an important role in protocol and application conformance testing. The
GCF provides harmonized standards for conformance tests and defines a test system
approved by all members to ensure that the terminals meet network deployment
requirements. All GCF members approve the terminals if the terminals are certified by
the GCF. The GCF certifies both test cases and test systems. The GCF certification
originates in Europe and now is accepted by mainstream operators in both Europe
and Asia.
The GCF certification is a DOC of equipment manufacturers. Equipment
manufacturers only need to perform the test items defined by the GCF and then
submit a DOC on the GCF website. All GCF members can view the desired DOC on
the GCF website.
