Abstract
A test system for checking the receivers of the digital pan-European paging system ERMES for conformity to the standard specification for air interface and receiver operation has been developed according to the ISO 9646 standardized methodology for conformance testing services. The test procedures, various test setups and test execution software, implemented and integrated in a fully operational test system, are described in this paper. Complete test suites have been carried out on ERMES receivers. A part of the results of test trials is listed here, demonstrating the test system functionality.
