While we have specified BER rates in the past
We have never specified the test plan or sampling rate than a vendor has
to use to demonstrate conformance.
Thus I would agree with your statement:
It would be impractical to make a BER
1E-15 test with every transceiver/transponder, that is
unrealistic.
but there is no reason to think that our standard would call out a
conformance statement that required a BER 1E-15 test with every
transceiver/transponder.
