System simulator-based Device testing for industry certification schemes such as GCF and PTCRB has traditionally expected the necessary Test Profiles to be made available via removable test UICCs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the industry moves towards widespread usage of eUICCs, testing of Devices fitted with eUICCs becomes less clear. The opportunity therefore exists to normalise the way in which Test Profiles for eUICCs will be available, and configurable, for industry standardised testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Generic Test Profile described in this document is the result of an interest group of the test industry, Device manufacturers and network operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It is designed to work only on defined test networks, aligned to specific technologies and their associated test specifications, as referenced by global industry certification schemes;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It has been developed with the intention that it be an included Test Profile in eUICCs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst the Generic Test Profile is expected to be the default Test Profile on eUICCs, it does not preclude the existence of other Test Profiles for purposes outside the scope of this document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The persistent inclusion of the Test Profile in eUICCs removes the need for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>specific test hardware or test eUICCs,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>specific test platforms with proprietary virtual server,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>bypassing the eUICC, or modifying device hardware to enable conformance testing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This document addresses the necessary definitions, preconditions and processes around the Generic Test Profile in the scope of testing and certification of a Device, for example preconditions for radio frequency and protocol testing defined by 3GPP specifications. This document is compliant to 3GPP 31.102 [16].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This document addresses testing of Devices incorporating eUICCs that support remote SIM provisioning as specified by the GSMA for M2M [2], Consumer Devices [5], and IoT Devices [18]. However, functional testing of the eUICC and remote SIM provisioning is out of scope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note 1: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This specification requires v2.1 or higher of [11]. This specification (since v2.0) supports 5G SA and V2X configurations for the eSIM based on v2.3 of [11]. Support of other configurations based on later versions of [11] (e.g., IoT Minimal Profile Package defined in v3.3.1 of [11]) is FFS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note 2:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; See RSP Test Specification [6] for the functional testing of the eUICC and remote SIM Provisioning for Consumer Devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This document is intended for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>parties that develop test tools and platforms;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>manufacturers (Device and eUICC);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mobile Network operators.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The different testing use cases are described in section 2 of this document.
