The market for nomadic devices has grown rapidly over the past few years in Europe. A rich variety of different technologies are available on the market. Many standards relate to the design and development of nomadic devices, but there is no uniform definition of the minimum requirements. For consumers, this situation is very confusing. This is why organisations all over Europe have conducted comparative studies over the last years in order to give consumers more information for their purchase decision. The aim is to compile an overview of all applicable European standards relating to nomadic devices. The TeleFOT project aims to investigate whether or not a dedicated nomadic devices standard should be developed. Another work package consists of portraying the organisations in Europe testing nomadic devices. The aim is to identify the types of devices under review, the test frequency and the basic test criteria, highlighting any overlap in the scope of testing and the assessment criteria. As a result, a list of recommended test criteria for the evaluation of nomadic devices will be developed. This report aims to give an overview of existing standards and consumer tests that may be relevant for the design and development of nomadic devices.
