Re: RFC conformance:

2002-04-19 13:40:19
Is there any this kind of document for RFCs.

No.

If an internet device supplier
claim their
implementaion conform to RFCXXXX. What should subscriber do to verify the
conformance.

Depends on the RFC.  Some WGs run interoperability tests, and those 
results may be available publicly (although, in at least some cases, 
they're kept secret, so that engineers can come do their testing without 
marketing getting worried).  Or there may be a test suite publicly 
available somewhere.

Failing that, you're on your own.  If it's a widely implemented RFC, you 
may be able to test it against other implementations.
