together with drivers of new technologies and is an active member of all

are responsible for the operation of test and qualification programs
will not take part in services concerning the optimization of product
development.

All services and test-activities will be handled confidentially, if
necessary secured by a "confidentiality agreement". Documents and data
will be in safe keeping.
The name
"7 layers"
7 layers has been named after the OSI (Open System Interconnection)
reference model, which divides communication systems into seven layers.
The OSI seven layers model contains all aspects possible in a
communications system and describes all possible functions, just as 7
layers is able to support its clients with development and test services
for all seven layers. For more information about OSI click
