4 Conformance to this PICS proforma specification
If it claims to conform to the present document, the actual PICS proforma to be filled in by a supplier shall be
technically equivalent to the text of the PICS proforma given in clause 4, and shall preserve the numbering/naming and
ordering of the proforma items.
A PICS which conforms to the present document shall be a conforming PICS proforma completed in accordance with
the guidance for completion given in clause 5.1.
5 PICS proforma for ETSI TS 124 229
5.0 Introduction
Notwithstanding the provisions of the copyright clause related to the text of the present document, ETSI grants that
users of the present document may freely reproduce the PICS proforma in clause 7 so that it can be used for its intended
purposes and may further publish the completed PICS.
5.1 Guidance for completing the PICS proforma
5.2 Purposes and structure
The purpose of this PICS proforma is to provide a mechanism whereby a supplier of an implementation of the
requirements defined in ETSI TS 124 229 [1] may provide information about the implementation in a standardized
manner.
The PICS proforma is subdivided into clauses for the following categories of information:
• guidance for completing the PICS proforma;
• identification of the implementation;
• global statement of conformance;
ETSI

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
10 ETSI TS 101 553-1 V2.1.1 (2016-09)
• roles;
• IBCF capabilities.
5.3 Abbreviations and conventions
The PICS proforma contained in this annex is comprised of information in tabular form in accordance with the
guidelines presented in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [20].
Item column
The item column contains a number which identifies the item in the table.
Item description column
The item description column describes in free text each respective item (e.g. parameters, timers, etc.). It implicitly
means "is supported by the implementation?".
Status column
The following notations, defined in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [20], are used for the status column:
m mandatory - the capability is required to be supported.
o optional - the capability may be supported or not.
n/a not applicable - in the given context, it is impossible to use the capability.
o.i qualified optional - for mutually exclusive or selectable options from a set. "i" is an integer which
identifies an unique group of related optional items and the logic of their selection which is
defined immediately following the table.
ci conditional - the requirement on the capability ("m", "o", "x" or "n/a") depends on the support of
other optional or conditional items. "i" is an integer identifying an unique conditional status
expression which is defined immediately following the table.
Reference column
The reference column makes reference to ETSI TS 124 229 [1], except where explicitly stated otherwise.
Support column
The support column shall be filled in by the supplier of the implementation. The following common notations, defined
in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [20], are used for the support column:
Y or y supported by the implementation.
N or n not supported by the implementation.
N/A, n/a or - no answer required (allowed only if the status is n/a, directly or after evaluation of a conditional
status).
5.4 Instructions for completing the PICS proforma
The supplier of the implementation shall complete the PICS proforma in each of the spaces provided. In particular, an
explicit answer shall be entered, in each of the support or supported column boxes provided, using the notation
described in clause 5.3.
If necessary, the supplier may provide additional comments in space at the bottom of the tables or separately.
More detailed instructions are given at the beginning of the different clauses of the PICS proforma.

6 Identification of the implementation
6.0 Introduction
Identification of the Implementation Under Test (IUT) and the system in which it resides (the System Under Test
(SUT)) should be filled in so as to provide as much detail as possible regarding version numbers and configuration
options.
The product supplier information and client information should both be filled in if they are different.
A person who can answer queries regarding information supplied in the ICS should be named as the contact person.
