If semi-automatic/automatic instruments, etc., arenot available, Administrations should agree bil
5、aterally regarding these tests.These circuits are: 4-wire audio-frequency circuits. Included also in this category are circuits on carrier systems providing asmall number of telephone channels. No distinction is made between circuits in underground cables andcircuits on open-wire lines unless the op

7、distance international circuits thatare generally used for terminal traffic, but which can, when necessary, be used to extend more important internationalcircuits. It is desirable that the same recommendations be applied to national circuits that are frequently used forinternational communications.
8、1)This is the general rule. In a few exceptional cases, however, routine measurements may be found desirable on constituentelements of circuits if they can give indications not otherwise readily obtained. For example, in accordance withRecommendation G.131 2.4 1, echo suppressors are not necessaril

Also, in some special cases mentioned in theintroductory notes to that Recommendation, the complete-circuit measurements afforded by the ESTS instrument, specified inRecom
