Having, over the years (!), seen a few TRF’s, I totally agree with the 1st sentence below – absolutely of no use to the “average” engineer in most companies, other than the test labs, because the “correct answers” are in the eyes of the beholders as there are so many possible interpretations and “hidden” questions!
At my last company I had to totally dissect the standard (61010-1, 2nd Ed. IIRC) down to the individual phrases of each sentence of each para of each Clause of the document in order to be able to ask the question “Not applicable”, “Pass” or “Fail”. Even then, early in the analysis process, there were inevitably a lot of “To be Determined” (TBD) “answers” that would need a lot more investigation and possible testing before the “final” answer to that “Not applicable”, “Pass” or “Fail” question could be determined (possibly!)

The official TRF has this information. Possible test case verdicts: - test case does not apply to the test object......... : N/A - test object does meet the requirement............... : P (Pass) - test object does not meet the requirement......... : F (Fail) Best, Doug On Thu, Aug 2, 2018 at 12:01 PM Kevin J Harris <kevin.3.har...@jci.com> wrote: Hi Doug The testing templates were for tests found in either IEC 60950 or IEC 62368.
