The Department of Homeland Security needs to be able to collect essential information from manufacturers on their products that have met P25 standards as demonstrated through the P25 CAP. Equipment suppliers will provide information to publicly attest to their products compliance with a specific set of P25 standards. Accompanied by a Summary Test Report that substantiate this declaration, the SDoC constitutes a companyÂs formal, public attestation of compliance with the standards for the equipment. In providing this information, companies will consent making this information public. In turn, the emergency response community will use this information to identify P25-compliant communications systems.
