According to the UIC, the FRMCS Test Specification Task Force develops test specifications to support FRMCS V3. Its mandate lies in describing tests. UIC: FRMCS – organisation and document directory

Role in the FRMCS Context

For test managers, the key is the mapping: which requirement is to be verified by which test? This profile recommends establishing this link explicitly in every test plan. This makes it possible to see what a result actually demonstrates and what scope remains open.

The publicly reviewed UIC programme page confirms the mandate, but does not name, for this task force, a complete published test catalogue with document number and version. The overview below therefore states this publication status openly. UIC: FRMCS – organisation and document directory

Significance and Binding Nature

The work mandate implies neither a product approval nor already delivered proof of conformity. Robust statements require a specific test specification and the corresponding test result.

Working Groups and Cooperation

The relevant technical reference points are the requirements and interface specifications. The ETSI publication TS 104 070 is a related artefact on test applicability; it must be attributed to its actual publisher. ETSI TS 104 070 V1.1.1 – Test Applicability / ICS

Practical Guidance

Recommendation for test teams: capture document ID, version, requirement reference, test environment and result together. Mark test references that are not yet available as open.

Frequently asked question

Is the task force a certification body?

The reviewed UIC source describes the development of test specifications. A role as a certification or approval body is not evidenced by it. [UIC: FRMCS – organisation and document directory](https://img.uic.org/rail-system/telecoms-signalling/frmcs)
