Notice of Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

The Project 25 Compliance Assessment Program {P25 CAP) provides equipment purchasers demonstrated evidence of a product's compliance with a select group of requirements within the suite of P25 standards. The test procedures used to validate these requirements are also part of the P25 suite of standards. While successful tests will demonstrate P25 compliance for the specific requirements tested, the conclusions drawn from these tests do not apply to every environment or need that individual users may have. P25-CAP-mandated tests only demonstrate product compliance with the test procedures listed in the Supplier's Declaration of Compliance and, therefore, only attest to a product's compliance with specific requirements within the P25 standard.

1. Introduction

The Project 25 Compliance Assessment Program (P25 CAP) is a voluntary program that allows P25 equipment suppliers to formally demonstrate their products' compliance with a select group of requirements within the suite of P25 standards. The purpose of the Program is to provide emergency response agencies with evidence that the communications equipment they are purchasing interoperates, conforms to P25 standards, and meets P25 performance requirements.

The Program requires test laboratories to demonstrate their competence through a rigorous and objective assessment process. Such a process promotes the user community's confidence in, and acceptance of, test results from recognized laboratories. All equipment suppliers that participate in the P25 CAP must use DHS-recognized laboratories to test their products. P25 equipment suppliers will release Summary Test Reports and Suppliers Declarations of Compliance (SDOCs) based on testing from laboratories recognized by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This documentation will assure the public that P25 equipment complies with established standards.

Performance, conformance, and interoperability issues are likely to occur in all communications technologies and especially in ones such as P25 where protocols constantly adapt to changing user requirements. Such problems should be resolved within the P25 CAP and, notably, before product launch and deployment. Further, the declaration of compliance-related documents developed by Program participants will provide useful technical information about the equipment.

The P25 CAP will provide the more than 60,000 emergency response agencies nationwide with a consistent and tractable perspective of P25 product compliance. It will also provide a means of verifying that Federal grant dollars are being invested in standardized solutions and equipment that promote interoperability.

1. Scope

This Compliance Assessment Bulletin (CAB) will identify uniform format requirements for use in preparation of SDOCs. These SDOCs are submitted to the Responder Knowledge Base (RKB) (http://www.rkb.us) Web site for DHS Office for Interoperability and Compatibility review and approval.

2. Effective Date

This Compliance Assessment Bulletin becomes effective on November 18^th, 2009.

3. Conventions

Throughout this CAB and its annex, underlined and italicized text represents variable content.

3. Normative References

None

2. Supplier's Declaration of Compliance Requirements

This portion of the CAB describes each major element or section of the SDOC document in a separate subsection.

1. SDOC File Format

All SDOCs submitted to DHS for review and posting will use Adobe Acrobat's Portable Document Format

{.pdf). Additionally, SDOCs submitted must be compliant with all posted RKB¹ requirements, such as Section 508² compliance.

2. SDOC Naming Convention

In order to provide for easy document management and traceability, all SDOCs will use a common naming convention, detailed as follows:

SDOC-<Manufacturer Unique ldentifier>-<Manufacturer Document #>

The Manufacturer Unique Identifier is selected by the manufacturer that is issuing the SDOC; it must be unique so as not to be confused with another manufacturer's SDOCs. Additionally, the Manufacturer Document # is a number that is chosen by the manufacturer issuing the SDOC. This number is unique to other SDOCs issued by that same manufacturer. Here is an example:

SDOC-LMR-123456

¹ http://www.rkb.us

² http://www.section508.gov/

3. Letterhead and Title

The SDOC document begins with the P25 CAP letterhead, title, and SDOC document identification, as illustrated in Figure 1.

Figure 1 P25 CAP Letterhead and Title

Project 25 Compliance Assessment Program SUPPLIER’S DECLARATION OF COMPLIANCE (SDOC) SDOC-LMR-123456

3. Company Information

Company information for the manufacturer of the land mobile radio (LMR) product appears at the top of the document, just below the P25 CAP letterhead and title. This information includes the company's name; department; address; the customer contact's name, phone number, fax number; the company's Web address; and the e-mail address of the customer contact. Figure 2 demonstrates how to present this information:

Figure 2 Company Information

LMR Equipment Corporation

Quality Assurance Department

1 Sound Way, Radio City, NY 12345-6789 Customer Contact: Testem Daley

Phone: 111-222-3333 Fax: 111-222-3334

3. Product Information

As illustrated in Figure 3, information for the LMR product tested in the P25 CAP appears at the top of the document, just below the company address and contact information. This information includes the name of the product tested, and a description of the package (when applicable), such as a version or release, for the product and its installed options, and the vocoder type if a vocoder is included in the product. The description of installed options provides a single unique identifier to reflect the tested product's software, hardware, and firmware configuration. The vocoder identification will be one of the following: Baseline, Baseline with System Improvements, Enhanced Full Rate, Enhanced Full Rate with System Improvements, or Not Applicable.

Figure 3 Product Information

Product Name: Wokytoky

Installed Options: Hardware options A001, B017, Z999; Firmware version 2.8a

Installed Vocoder: Baseline with System Improvements

6. Other Devices Tested

In the event that the tests performed on the product{s) given in Figure 3 are interoperability tests, the other devices that the product under test was tested against will be listed following the product information. A unique identification of the other device{s) tested shall be provided {e.g., serial number and/or Media Access Control {MAC) address). Figure 4 gives an example of how the other devices tested will be displayed. In the title of the matrix, the product under test will be listed.

Figure 4 Other Devices Tested

Other Devices Tested with LMR Equipment Corporation Wokytoky
Manufacturer	Product Name, Definition, and Unique ID	Installed Options
AirTalky	Talkover Portable MAC Address AFE0014	1.5 ACMv1, ERCv3
Speak Systems	SS5100 Portable SN 0011234	N/A
ClearWaiver	CW-5400 Portable SN 9A5400	Hardware: Software:	5400ph35 5400ps398g
AirVine	AV100 Portable SN AV100000122	Hardware: Software:	100AVPH007a5y 100AVPS028ca1g

6. Declaration of Compliance

A declaration statement will follow the product information {or optional other devices tested) in the SDOC. In the event that other devices are tested in addition to the product under test, the product name will be used in place of a simple reference to the products listed. This will reduce confusion as to which products the SDOC is referring to. An example of a simple reference is provided in Figure 5, where examples of specific products tested are given in Figure 6 and Figure 7. The supplier will declare that the product passes all of the P25 test cases specified in the associated CAB, either in whole or by section. All exceptions and/or excluded tests will be noted within the declaration. A list of applicable CABs and relevant CAB sections will follow the declaration, followed by the Detailed Test Report {DTR) document

code{s) that supports the test program.³

³ Note that inclusion of the DTR document code{s) provide{s) for document traceability between SDOCs, Summary Test Reports, and DTRs. The format for the DTR document code is DTR-<P25 CAP Laboratory Code>-<P25 CAP Laboratory Document ID>.

Figure 5 provides an example for the complying product.
