Objective The creation of common standards was examined in order to support the Research and development in Advanced Communications technologies in Europe programme (RACE) objectives of creating a common market for integrated broadcast communications (IBC) technology and a common development of precompetitive IBC technology.Initial studies were performed and a common methodology for verification of compliance to these standards and a strategy for selecting IBC components were proposed. With the help of other authorities a consensus agreement on the verification approach was achieved.Technical Summary RACE has an objective of creating a common market for IBC technology and has sponsored a common development of pre- competitive IBC technology. One key element in the achievement of this objective will be Common Standards. This project performed initial studies and proposed a common methodology for verification of compliance to these standards in Part II, proposed a strategy for selecting IBC components to be verified, proposed a workplan to accomplish Part III.1 and liaise with Part I and other authority sources, and achieved a consensus agreement on the verification approach. In addition, the project provided various supports to the proposed approach.
