Both "Inside GNSS" and "GPS World" recently echoed a press release
from IFEN about certification of one of their GNSS signal simulators.
http://www.insidegnss.com/node/1927
"IFEN Simulator Receives Galileo ICD Certification
. . . NavCert tested the simulator according to the specifications of
four international technical standards: PPP 80018:2008, EN 61010:2002,
IEC 60297-1:1986, and EN 60417-2000."
GPS World version:
http://www.gpsworld.com/professional-oem/simulators-tools/news/ifen%E2%80%9=
9s-gnss-rf-constellation-simulator-awarded-certificate-t%C3%BC
The corporate press release:
http://www.ifen.com/content/press/pressrelease/2010-02-23_Press%20Release%2=
0NavX-NCS_en.pdf
What are these 4 international standards?
https://www.standardsstore.ca/eSpecs/
60297-1 Dimensions of Mechanical Structures of the 482.6 mm (19 in)
Series Part 1: Panels and Racks-Third Edition
EN 61010 Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement,
control, and laboratory use
EN 60417 Graphical symbols for use on equipment
Could not find PPP 80018. Maybe someone else knows what this is.
"Point-to-Point Protocol" seems reasonable, but those standards have
an RFC prefix:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Protocol
The certificate issuer's web site is here:

or PDF version of same page:

"Verification is carried out with the help of a GNSS simulator,
permitting comprehensive modelling:
=95 extensive multipath modelling
=95 antenna gain and phase patterns
=95 ionosphere and troposphere modelling
=95 pseudorange ramps for RAIM testing"
The TUV SUD certificate for IFEN GMBH GNSS signal simulator is here:

%20001&CertTyp=3Dno
*****************************
Exactly how this system was tested and evaluated is hard to determine
from public sources.
This is not a criticism of Galileo. Validation and certification for
GPS equipment can be equally mysterious.
