The Backplane Ethernet Consortium is a separate entity from the IEEE 802.3 Working Group and 802.3ap Task Force. The test suites developed by the Backplane Ethernet Consortium are based heavily on the Backplane Ethernet standard. In addition, the Backplane Ethernet Consortium takes an active role in continuing to review and refine the Backplane Ethernet standard by submitting maintenance and interpretation requests to the IEEE 802.3 Working Group.
