The D-Book
The D-Book is the technical
specifcation for UK digital terrestrial
television (Freeview and Freeview HD).
The DTG has published and maintained
the D-Book for over a decade and the
specifcation is updated annually to
keep up with the pace of development
in UK DTT.
The D-Book is a living document and is
continually enhanced and peer-reviewed
by the DTGs expert working groups.
The frst edition of the D-Book was
published in 1996 when the current
UK standard for digital terrestrial
broadcasting (DVB-T) was new
and untried. Early editions of the
D-Book enabled the publication of
the European digital TV specifcation:
the E-Book.
In March 2009, the DTG published the
6th edition of the D-Book introducing
DVB-T2, the new modulation scheme
that is being used in the UK to deliver
high defnition services on DTT which
enabled the consumer launch of an
initial three free-to-air HD channels
on Freeview in early 2010.
D-Book 6 also mandated a broadband
return path which can be used for
streaming on-demand video content
such as BBC iPlayer, ITV Player and
4oD, accessing e-government services
and allowing viewers to complete
transactions via their television.
The 7th edition of the D-Book will be
circulated to members in December
2010 and contains the specifcation
for UK hybrid broadcast/broadband
Connected TV products and services.
The D-Book is only available to
members of the Digital TV Group.

The DTG supports the digital
switchover programme carried out
by Digital UK. The Groups D-Book
specifcation and test regimes
underpin the Digital Switchover
Certifcation Mark (the Digital Tick)
the logo used to tell consumers
that a product is designed to work
through digital switchover.
DTG Testing conducts special
switchover projects on behalf of Digital
UK and the Department of Business,
Innovation and Skills (BIS), using
its receiver collection to simulate
switchover scenarios in advance of
regional switchovers and carries out
spot tests of receivers carrying the
Digital Tick to ensure they comply with
the certifcation marks requirements.
The Group also provides a forum for
Digital UK to engage with industry
and to feed into technical requirements
if required.
DVB-T2
2009 saw the development of the 6th
edition of the D-Book specifcation.
D-Book 6 represents a landmark
in UK broadcasting, providing the
specifcation for the launch of high
defnition services on Freeview. The
specifcation also includes a broad
range of updates such as surround
audio, HD interactivity, DVB-SSU,
HD subtitles, an MHEG interaction
channel and HDMI guidelines.
To ensure market compliance the DTG
provides the test and conformance
regime for the Freeview and Freeview
HD logos.
Listening to our members
One of the DTGs core objectives for
2010/11 is to increase the level of
service we offer to members. The Group
is committed to increasing membership
value, driven by membership and
customer consultation feedback
and measured against a membership
value index.
To ensure we continue to closely
monitor levels of membership and
customer satisfaction, the DTG
conducts an annual survey of DTG
members and DTG Testing customers.

BSkyB is pleased to actively engage with the
DTG in the development of an open standard
for Connected TV devices.
Nick Gregory, Business Development Director, BSkyB

Virgin Media are committed to continuing their

long-standing relationship with the DTG through
the development of a core open standard for
UK Connected TV.
Ian Mecklenburgh, Director, Digital Entertainment, Virgin Media

In 2010, the DTG launched

a consultation on how an
interoperable, eff cient, stable
and innovating horizontal digital
TV market might best continue
to be delivered.
This consultation process will play a
key role in ensuring the Group is able
to work with its members to produce a
roadmap for the ongoing interoperability,
stability and technical development
of UK digital terrestrial television.
Connected TV
Connected TV is the term used by
the digital television industry to refer
to the delivery of programmes, flms,
applications and interactive services
tothe television via broadband.
The DTG Council, executive and its
members are currently developing
the technical specifcation for UK
Connected TV which will form part of
the 7th edition of the D-Book.
D-Book 7 will provide an industry
agreed baseline implementation
for Connected TV products and
services that service providers such
as YouView, Fetch TV, Loveflm, Sky,
Virgin Media and others can build on
for trademark requirements to support
their services.
The DTG has set up 7 Connected TV
working groups drawing upon different
areas of the specifcation: architecture,
device, delivery, presentation,
metadata, security and measurement.
D-Book 7 will be circulated to members
in December 2010, followed by a
Connected TV test and conformance
regime to ensure market compliance
in May 2011.
3DTV
Successes such as Avatar, Skys 3D
channel and 3D broadcasts of major
sporting events have stimulated
consumer demand for 3DTV content.
A technical standard has been
completed for 3D Blu-ray and HDMI
1.4a is ready for carrying 3D.
Following feedback from the DTGs
consultation on developments in 3DTV,
the DTG is to work with its members to
investigate options for profling the UK
standard for 3D products and services.

Getting
to market
The DTG and DTG Testing support
manufacturers from product
development, through launch and
into the home.
The D-Book provides the basis for the
development of Freeview and Freeview
HD set-top boxes, recorders and
IDTVs in the UK.
DTG Testing produces test suites,
recognised by the Department of
Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS),
as demonstrating the required standard
for the Digital Switchover Certifcation
Mark (the Digital Tick). Manufacturers
use DTG Testings test suites to carry
out pre-compliance testing of products
to ensure they meet benchmark
interoperability standards for the
Freeview and Freesat services.
Product testing at DTG Testing is
used by manufacturers to demonstrate
conformance to the Digital Tick
certifcation mark requirements and
the Freeview, Freeview HD and Freesat
trademark requirements.
After a product has been launched,
the DTG Engineering Channel provides
manufacturers with a mechanism
to upgrade a receivers software in
the home.
The great achievement of the last decade was to deliver
a completely reliable, robust offer to the public, and
I think its because of that and in particular because
of the work of the DTG, that the public have so much
confdence in digital TV.
Mark Thompson, Director General, BBC

DTG continues to play an important strategic role in

the success of the Freesat platform by testing all new
receivers to ensure they meet the exacting quality levels
Freesat customers demand.

Panasonic with the opportunity to
actively participate in the development
of the UK DTT standard (the D-Book).
This, in addition to DTG Testings
test and conformance regimes allow
us to build reliable, industry certifed
products, drastically reducing the
risk of market failure and helping us
to ensure a consistent high quality
consumer experience.
Panasonic is committed to ensuring our
products use the DTGs conformance
tests in order to receive the Digital
Tick, Freeview, Freeview HD and
Freesat logos.
Our relationship with the DTG doesnt
end at product launch; Panasonic is
also a member of the DTG Engineering
Channel which enables us to transmit
over-air software updates to devices in
the home, ensuring that our customers
continue to receive the most up-to-
date service.
We submit a representative sample of
all our tested products to the DTGs
receiver collection this allows the
DTG to run regular tests to check
the response of deployed products
in scenarios such as a regional
switchover.
To ensure we continue to offer
customers the best possible
technology, Panasonic is currently
participating in the development of
the technical specifcation for UK
Connected TV through the DTGs
working groups.
Nigel Prankard

Test development
DTG test suites are the only UK
industry-approved solution for
demonstrating conformance to the
requirements of the UKs Digital Tick
certifcation mark and the Freeview,
Freeview HD and Freesat trademarks.
The DTGs test development is based
on technical excellence. Starting from
specifcations (such as the D-Book)
the DTGs core team of test suite
development specialists identify
functional features and defne a set
of test vectors to test those features
in real-world scenarios.
The test streams are created using
a number of existing tools optimised
for test production. The fexibility of
these tools allows staff to re-purpose
streams for various systems without
affecting the functionality being tested,
reducing the cost of verifcation and
validation of new platforms.
Along with test streams, the test
development team provides a number
of support documents. For receiver
developers the test house provides
descriptions of the test vectors so that
faults can be quickly traced and fxed.
Operator instructions and pro-forma
report sheets are also provided for test
lab use.
Product testing
The Digital TV receiver industry founded
DTG Testing over a decade ago to carry
out interoperability testing on digital
terrestrial receivers. Today, the test
centre is a Department of Business,
Innovation and Skills (BIS) recognised
testing facility for the Digital Switchover
Certifcation Mark (the Digital Tick) and
is the UKs test house for the Freeview,
Freeview HD and Freesat trademarks.
DTG Testing is the only ISO/IEC 17025
accredited digital television product
test facility in the UK
1
.
ISO/IEC 17025 is the UK standard for
calibration and testing laboratories.
Connected TV testing
Following the completion of D-Book 7,
the technical specifcation for UK
Connected TV products and services,
DTG Testing is to launch the UK
test and conformance regime for
Connected TV products in May 2011.
The test centre will also provide a test
and conformance service for HbbTV
devices and is working with the
YouView partners on the development
of a test and conformance regime for
YouView products.
These new services have been
designed to ensure that manufacturers
launching products in the UK have
a single test and conformance facility
for Freeview, Freeview HD, Freesat,
Digital Tick, Connected TV and
HbbTV set-top boxes, IDTVs and
digital recorders.
Engineering Channel
DTG Testing manages the UK
Engineering Channel which is used
for over-air upgrades to receiver
software and interactive application
testing for the Freeview, Freeview HD
and Freesat services.
All major receiver manufacturers
supplying the UK market have service
agreements with DTG Testing for
access to the Engineering Channel.
DTG Testing manages the scheduling
of over-air downloads to ensure that
all manufacturers have access to the
capacity available with little delay and
adequate transmission durations.
Receiver collection
DTG Testings laboratory houses the
UKs largest collection of representative
samples of DTT and D-Sat receivers.
The collection of over 200 receivers
is used to support digital switchover,
and the introduction of Freeview HD
by gathering data about the capability
of receivers deployed in the UK and
is used by developers of interactive
application for pre-transmission testing.
The Department of Business,
Innovation and Skills (BIS) require
that any manufacturer using the
Digital Tick logo must provide a
representative sample of the receiver
to a recognised test centre such as
DTG Testing.
Consulting projects
The Digital TV Groups unique position
makes it ideally placed to provide
expert consultancy for organisations
who wish to enter the UK market
and for those developing services
internationally.
The DTGs team of core industry experts
has been instrumental in the launch of
services such as Freeview, Freeview
HD and Freesat and the introduction of
widescreen TV, DVB-T2/MPEG-4 and
more recently, Connected TV.
The Group offers the independent,
impartial and expert consultancy to
both members and non members
that empowers organisations to make
informed management decisions,
allowing you to take full advantage of
business development opportunities
both in the UK and internationally.

The DTG Test Development team
produces the test suites that
are used by DTG Testing to test
products and by manufacturers
for pre-compliance testing.
Every engineer in the team has a
different area of expertise such as
SI, Linear Services and my role is to
develop MHEG and DTR test suites.
The DTGs Freeview MHEG test
suite is the result of thousands of
man hours of development by DTG
staff and members and is continually
enhanced and refned based on
feedback from customers.
Freeview MHEG provides the core
source code that we build on to
incorporate D-Book developments
and to provide test suites for new
services such as Freeview HD. To
replicate the DTGs MHEG test suite
would take a huge amount of
resource and effort and as a result
we are often asked to adapt the
suite for other territories such
as Australia, New Zealand and
Hong Kong.
My working day is divided between
code creation for new or enhanced
test suites and the maintenance of
existing suites. Its also important to
make time to deal with enquiries and
feedback from customers and from
colleagues in the Product Testing
team, such feedback is absolutely
crucial in ensuring that every test
suite we produce is as easy to use
and as reliable as possible.
Mark Skinner, Senior Project
Engineer, DTG Testing

While a large part of my working

day is devoted to actively testing
products, I am also responsible for
ensuring the smooth running of the
product testing process, supporting
and mentoring the conformance
engineers and dealing with technical
enquiries from clients.
Away from product testing, I also
coordinate many of DTG Testings
special projects. As part of the
DTGs support for digital switchover
we are currently using our receiver
collection to simulate the effects
that various switchover scenarios
will have on receivers in the home.
The DTG receiver collection
represents over 95% of deployed
receivers this means that Digital
UK can confdently predict the
effects that different changes to
broadcast signals will have on
viewers receivers well in advance
ofa regional switchover.
Another important service offered
by DTG Testing is the Engineering
Channel which allows manufacturers
to provide over-air upgrades to the
software in deployed Freeview and
Freesat receivers. I work with the
team here to ensure all upgrades
are thoroughly tested and are
transmitted to schedule.

role in the success of UK digital television. Last

making hybrid Connected TV devices a reality

Council

The DTG welcomes organisations
involved in the development and
marketing of digital television
worldwide as members.
DTG membership is the only way
to obtain the UK D-Book receiver
specifcation. The D-Book standard
provides the requirements for
interoperability for the UK digital
terrestrial TV market.
DTG membership is divided into
the following categories:
Principal and Full Membership
Principal and Full Membership is
available to organisations with an active
interest in digital television. Principal
and Full Membership offers entitlement
to vote at plenary meetings, direct
participation in the development of
technical specifcations and online
access to the D-Book, with updates
when they are published. These
categories of membership also allow
members to participate in both technical
and commercial group meetings.
All Principal Members are represented
on DTG Council and Technical Council.
World Membership
World Membership is for organisations
keen to investigate the UK model
for digital terrestrial television but
who are not active in the UK market.
World Members receive online access
to the D-Book and other relevant
publications, as well as publication
updates.
New Entrant Membership
New Entrant Membership is for
start-up organisations in their frst
or second year of operations that are
entering the digital television industry
with new products or services and do
not yet have an established revenue
stream. For eligibility purposes,
organisations are considered as a
whole, and where a substantial part
of a start-up organisations activities
derive from a pre-existing business,
New Entrant Membership will not
be available.
New Entrant Membership provides
subsidised access to Full Member
benefts. After two years of New
Entrant Membership the member
organisation will be automatically
upgraded to Full Membership.

members) and fix a time and place for declaring the result of the poll. The result of the poll shall
be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded.

in any case on such terms and for such period as the Council may (subject to the provisions of

UK DIGITAL TELEVISION GROUP
Agreement for all Full Members, Affiliates, World Affiliates and New Entrants

1. Background
The various parties who formed the original membership of the UK Digital Television Group (DTG) and
early members were subject to a Memorandum of Understanding dated 17 August 1995 (the Original
MOU), which was superseded by an MOU dated 9
th
January 1996, and which each party signed. A new,
simplified, form of agreement was introduced on 1
st
February 1998 to take account of updated
requirements that had become apparent as the number of members has grown, incorporating a wider range
of companies with an interest in digital television broadcasting.

The Digital TV Group became a Company Limited by Guarantee on 17
th
March 2000 as a consequence of
the setting up of DTG Testing Ltd. This revised MOU takes account of this change of status and should be
read in conjunction with the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the DTG. The opportunity has
also been taken to revise the objectives to reflect the post-launch situation and to accommodate the needs
of Overseas Affiliate membership.

2. Objectives
All members shall support the following objectives:

(1) To support the DTG in representing, in an authoritative and independent manner, the widest spectrum
of interests in digital broadcasting, and the development of digital broadcasting systems based upon DVB and
other appropriate published and open technical standards.

(2) To support a non-discriminatory approach that enables an open and competitive market to develop in
service provision, receivers and conditional access, consistent with European Union Directives on Television
Transmission Standards.

(3) To support the DTG in the development of public standards integrated digital TV receivers and set-top
box products meeting the needs of broadcasters and consumers in an open and competitive market
situation.

Digital TV Group IPR & Confidentiality Policy adopted 20 January 2010


1. Introduction
The DTG Council (Council) has established the following Intellectual Property Rights POLICY.

2. Definitions
Terms in the POLICY which are written in capital letters shall have the meaning set forth in Clause 15
entitled DEFINITIONS.

3. Policy Objectives
3.1 The DTG's objectives are set out in Clause 2 of the membership agreement, to which this policy
forms an annex. In order to further such objectives this DTG IPR POLICY seeks to reduce the risk to
the DTG, MEMBERS, and others applying DTG STANDARDS and TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS,
that investment in the preparation, adoption and application of STANDARDS could be wasted as a
result of an ESSENTIAL IPR for a STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION being unavailable. In
achieving this objective, this DTG IPR POLICY seeks a balance between the needs of standardization
for public use in the field of telecommunications and the rights of the owners of IPRs.
3.2 IPR holders whether members of the DTG and their AFFILIATES or third parties, should be
adequately and fairly rewarded for the use of their IPRs in the implementation of STANDARDS and
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS.
3.3 The DTG shall take reasonable measures to ensure, as far as possible, that its activities which relate
to the preparation, adoption and application of STANDARDS and TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS,
enable STANDARDS and TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS to be available to potential users in
accordance with the general principles of standardization.
4. Disclosure of IPRs
4.1 Subject to Clause 4.2 below, each MEMBER shall use its reasonable endeavours, in particular during
the development of a STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION where it participates, to inform
the DTG of ESSENTIAL IPRs in a timely fashion and in any event no later than the date on which such
STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION is submitted for approval to DTG Technical Council.
In particular, a MEMBER submitting a technical proposal for a STANDARD or TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATION shall, on a bona fide basis, draw the attention of the DTG to any of that MEMBER's
IPR which might be ESSENTIAL if that proposal is adopted.
4.2 The obligations pursuant to Clause 4.1 above do however not imply any obligation on MEMBERS to
conduct IPR searches.
4.3 The obligations pursuant to Clause 4.1 above are deemed to be fulfilled in respect of all existing and
future members of a PATENT FAMILY if the DTG has been informed of a member of this PATENT
FAMILY in a timely fashion. Information on other members of this PATENT FAMILY, if any, may be
voluntarily provided.
5. Procedures for Working Groups
5.1 The DTG shall establish guidelines for the chairmen of WORKING GROUPS with respect to
ESSENTIAL IPRs.



6. Availability of Licences
6.1 When an ESSENTIAL IPR relating to a particular STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION is
brought to the attention of the DTG, the Company Secretary of the DTG shall immediately request
the owner to give within one month an undertaking in writing that it is prepared to grant irrevocable
licences on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions under such IPR to at least
the following extent:
MANUFACTURE, including the right to make or have made customized components and
sub-systems to the licensee's own design for use in MANUFACTURE;

sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of EQUIPMENT so MANUFACTURED;

repair, use, or operate EQUIPMENT; and

use METHODS.

6.2 The above undertaking may be made subject to the condition that those who seek licences
agree to reciprocate.
In the event a MEMBER assigns or transfers ownership of an ESSENTIAL IPR that it disclosed to the
DTG, the MEMBER shall exercise reasonable efforts to notify the assignee or transferee of any
undertaking it has made to the DTG pursuant to Clause 6 with regard to that ESSENTIAL IPR.
6.3 As long as the requested undertaking of the IPR owner is not granted, the WORKING GROUP
Chairmen should, if appropriate, in consultation with the DTG Executive Committee, use their
judgment as to whether or not the WORKING GROUP should suspend work on the relevant parts
of the STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION until the matter has been resolved and/or
submit for approval any relevant STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION.
6.4 MEMBERS shall use one of the DTG IPR Licensing Declaration forms at the Appendix (A) to this
DTG IPR Policy to make their IPR licensing declarations.
7. Information on IPR by the DTG
7.1 Any published STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION shall include information pertaining to
ESSENTIAL IPRs which are brought to the attention of the DTG prior to such publication.
7.2 The DTG shall establish appropriate procedures to allow access to information at any time with
respect to ESSENTIAL IPRs which have been brought to the attention of the DTG.
8. Non-availability of Licences
8.1 Non-availability of licences prior to the publication of a STANDARD or a TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATION
8.1.1 Existence of a viable alternative technology
Where prior to the publication of a STANDARD or a TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION an IPR
owner informs the DTG that it is not prepared to license an IPR in respect of a STANDARD
or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION in accordance with Clause 6.1 above, Council shall review
the requirement for that STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION and satisfy itself
that a viable alternative technology is available for the STANDARD or TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATION which:
is not blocked by that IPR; and


satisfies the DTG's requirements.

8.1.2 Non-existence of a viable alternative technology
Where, in the opinion of Council, no such viable alternative technology exists, work on the
STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION shall cease, and the Director-General of the
DTG shall observe the following procedure:

a) If the IPR owner is a MEMBER,

i) The Director-General of the DTG shall request that MEMBER to
reconsider its position.

ii) If that MEMBER however decides not to withdraw its refusal to license the
IPR, it shall then inform the Director-General of the DTG of its decision
and provide a written explanation of its reasons for refusing to license that
IPR, within one month of its receipt of the Director-General's request.

iii) The Director-General shall then send the MEMBER's explanation together
with relevant extracts from the minutes of Council to all DTG Council
members for their consideration.

b) If the IPR owner is a third party,

i) the Director-General of the DTG shall, wherever appropriate, request full
supporting details from any MEMBER who has complained that licences are
not available in accordance with Clause 6.1 above and/or request
appropriate MEMBERS to use their good offices to find a solution to the
problem.

ii) Where this does not lead to a solution the Director-General of the DTG
shall write to the IPR owner concerned for an explanation and request
ultimately that licences be granted according to Clause 6.1 above.

iii) Where the IPR owner refuses the Director-General's request and decides
not to withdraw its refusal to license the IPR or does not answer the letter
within one month from the issue of the Director-General's request, the
Director-General shall then send the IPR owner's explanation, if any,
together with relevant extracts from the minutes of Council to all DTG
Council members for their consideration.

8.1.3 Prior to any decision by Council, the Chairman of the relevant WORKING GROUP and the
DTG Executive Committee should use their judgment as to whether or not the WORKING
GROUP should pursue development of the concerned parts of the STANDARD or a
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION based on the non-available technology and should look for
alternative solutions.
8.2 Non-availability of licences after the publication of a STANDARD or a TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
Where, in respect of a published STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION, the DTG becomes
aware that licences are not available from an IPR owner in accordance with Clause 6.1 above, that
STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION shall be referred to the Director-General of the
DTG for further consideration in accordance with the following procedure:

i) The Director-General shall request full supporting details from any MEMBER or third party
who has complained that licences are not available in accordance with Clause 6.1 above.

ii) The Director-General shall write to the IPR owner concerned for an explanation and request
that licences be granted according to Clause 6.1 above. Where the concerned IPR owner is

a MEMBER, it shall inform the Director-General of the DTG of its decision and provide a
written explanation of its reasons in case of continuing refusal to license that IPR.

iii) Where the IPR owner refuses the Director-General's request or does not answer the letter
within one month, the Director-General shall inform Council and, if available, provide
Council with the IPR owner's explanation for consideration. A vote shall be taken in Council
to refer the STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION to the relevant WORKING
GROUP immediately to modify it so that the IPR is no longer ESSENTIAL.

iv) Where the vote in the Council does not succeed, then the Executive Committee shall, where
appropriate, consult Council members with a view to finding a solution to the problem. In
parallel, Council may request appropriate MEMBERS to use their good offices to find a
solution to the problem.

In carrying out the foregoing procedure due account shall be taken of the interest of the
enterprises that have invested in the implementation of the STANDARD or TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATION in question.

9. The DTGs ownership of IPRs
9.1 The ownership of the copyright in STANDARDS and TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS documentation
and reports created by the DTG or any of its WORKING GROUPS shall vest in the DTG but due
acknowledgement shall be given to copyrights owned by third parties that are identifiable in the DTG
copyrighted works.
9.2 In respect of IPRs other than copyright in STANDARDS and TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
documentation and reports, the DTG shall only seek ownership of IPRs generated either by its
employees or by secondees to the DTG from organizations who are not MEMBERS.
9.3 The DTG shall, on request by a non-member, grant licences to that non-member on fair and
reasonable terms and conditions in respect of any IPRs, other than those referred to in Clause 9.1
above, owned by the DTG. MEMBERS shall be allowed to use IPRs owned by the DTG free of charge.
10. Confidentiality
The proceedings of a WORKING GROUP shall be regarded as non-confidential except as expressly
provided below and all information submitted to a WORKING GROUP shall be treated as if non-
confidential and shall be available for public inspection unless:

the information is in written or other tangible form; and

the information is identified in writing, when submitted, as confidential; and

the information is first submitted to, and accepted by, the chairman of the WORKING
GROUP as confidential.

STANDARD or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION is published.
11. Reproduction of Standards Documentation
MEMBERS may make copies of STANDARDS and TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS documentation
produced by the DTG for their own use free of charge but may not distribute such copies to others.
12. Law and Regulation

12.1 This POLICY shall be governed by the laws of England. However, no MEMBER shall be obliged by this
POLICY to commit a breach of the laws or regulations of its country or to act against supranational
laws or regulations applicable to its country insofar as derogation by agreement between parties is
not permitted by such laws.
12.2 Any right granted to, and any obligation imposed on, a MEMBER which derive from English law and
which are not already contained in the national or supranational law applicable to that MEMBER is to
be understood as being of solely a contractual nature.

13. No modification of this Policy may be made other than by formal resolution of the DTG Council.
14. Violation of Policy

any, against the MEMBER in breach.

15. Definitions

EQUIPMENT or METHODS which comply with a TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION OR STANDARD
without infringing that IPR. For the avoidance of doubt in exceptional cases where a TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATION or STANDARD can only be implemented by technical solutions, all of which are
infringements of IPRs, all such IPRs shall be considered ESSENTIAL.
