9. AMHS WORKSHOP Chennai, IndiaDecember 15-16, 2008 9 Our Vision: Service and Safety ATNICG Tasks  ATN CONFORMANCE DOCUMENT AND CHECKLIST –Describes the standard checklist required to ensure interconnectivity and interoperability. The document was adapted with a baseline from the Eurocontrol Conformance Document. The adaptation of the Eurocontrol Manual focuses on the use of AMHS with an additional ATN router testing procedure which was developed based on the router testing and trials conducted between Hong Kong China and Japan. –The ATN Conformance Document will cover the system level testing for AMHS and ATN router necessary for interoperability and interconnectivity as an initial step based on existing technical provisions. Technologies such as the adoption of Internet Protocol (IP) are proposed to be addressed in later revisions. The structure of the documenst would be as follows: AMHS Conformance Document Annex A - Guidelines on Quality of Service (QOS) Annex B - AMHS Conformance Test and Checklist Annex C – ATN Router Test and Checklist 9
