Re: Question about: functional performance Statement (FPS) in European EN 301 549

Thanks all for your feedback.
I am specifically looking for confirmation for the need to test for
FPS when testing against the EN-standards, be it for ICT covered by
the EU's WAD or any other iCT.
I did refer to normative C.4 statement in my initial email that made
me think one is not required to test for FPS. Shadi confirms this, so
thank you!
And I did look at the draft in the works. (Thanks James for the link)
It has the identical C.4 text. The draft also confirms that only
Clauses 5 to 13 contain testable requirements.
Best wishes,
Sailesh
