6. APPENDIX B: AT&T-TP-76205 PRODUCT CHANGE TEST
GUIDELINES
6.1. Purpose
The purpose of this appendix is to provide product suppliers a guide to help determine what tests may not
need to be performed on a product enhancement to verify conformance to AT&T-TP-76205 Ancillary
requirements.
6.2. 5.2. General
Some product enhancements are so minor that a complete retest of the product may not be necessary.
Typically, when a product supplier requests a re-test waiver to run tests on product enhancements, data
comparing the new product to the existing product is submitted to the company representative for
evaluation by AT&T Operations. Depending on the product under review, this data may include pictures,
descriptions of electrical components, etc. Each AT&T Operations product evaluation subject matter
expert (SME) then reviews this data and responds with an assessment of what tests are required. This
Appendix is a guideline only. It is the product suppliers responsibility to satisfactorily document that the
new product conforms to applicable requirements. This Appendix only applies to product enhancements
to equipment previously evaluated as in conformance to applicable AT&T-TP-76205 requirements and
approved for use in AT&T OPERATIONS.
Hardware upgrades/changes shall be revaluated if it involves:
Additional or revised hardware.
Activation of previously unused hardware
An increase in the amount of power (AC or DC) consumed.
Changes in increase of thermal load.
Changes to the internal or external air flows.
Changes that raise the over all cabinet or enclosure acoustic levels.
Changes to the cabinet or enclosures exterior that would affect solar loading (i.e change in paint color or
third party wrapping or applications).
Changes that would affect the weather tightness of the cabinet or enclosure.
Changes that would affect the EMI or FCC part 15 rating of the cabinet or enclosure.
Changes that would affect the original internal equipment layout.
Creating non factory authorized openings in the outer protective layer of material that protects the
electronic equipment from the environment.
6.3. Approval by Similarity
6.3.1. Acceptance of a new EEE/C by similarity as compared
with a previously Approved Product.
Generally, if a EEE /C having the same function, size, weight, physical and electrical properties as well as
possessing the same or similar material components to that of a product(s) that has been previously
tested and passed, the configuration need not be tested again. ATT reserves the right to determine if the
proposed product meets the criteria below or if additional testing is required.
A written statement is required from an approved testing lab and/or OEM validating the following
1. The material is indeed same or similar to an ATT approved product.
2. Product A contains the same or similar material as Product B
3. Product A has the same or similar physical and electrical characteristics as product B
4. Product A has the same or similar power and thermal characteristics as Product B.
5. Any dissimilarity between Product A and Product B.
