These tests are aimed at verifying that the new standard has reached the goals specified by the initially defined requirements. The results of these tests are suitable to estimate the improvement introduced by the new technology and to determine a minimum threshold in terms of achievable performance by systems based on that standard, as improvements certainly can be introduced by optimizing the implementations.
