Such a statement is called an Implementation ConformanceStatement (ICS).A client of a test laboratory who requests a conformance / approval test should provide the test laboratory with acompleted ICS proforma for each layer to be tested and a detailed system description of the implementation.The ICS proforma is not another complete description of the related specification, but rather a compact form of its staticconformance requirements, to be used by the test laboratory to identify which test should be performed on a givenimplementation. Not every feature of a profile specification is contained in the related ICS proforma. For particularcases requiring specific information, the ICS can refer to the appropriate clause of the related specification by means ofreferences, notes and or comments.The ICS proforma captures the implementation flexibility allowed by the related specification and details which optionsare left to the implementor, and which are conditionally dependent on other options taken by the implementor.SIST EN 300 417-1-2 V1.1.2:2003



ETSIEN 300 417-1-2 V1.1.2 (1998-11)61ScopeThe present document provides general information about the Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS) proformastructure and contents, as well as guidance for filling-in the document. The ICS proforma for a Synchronous DigitalHierarchy (SDH) Network Element (NE) are defined in compliance with the relevant requirements, and in accordancewith the relevant guidance, given in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [4], in ETS 300 406 [1] and in EG 201 058 (see bibliography).The ICS proforma is a normative part of the reference specification.The supplier of an implementation which is claimed to conform to EN 300 417-1-1 [2] is required to complete a copy ofthese ICS proforma, namely the present document, and is further required to provide all information necessary toidentify both the implementation (e.g. specify it by means of a detailed system description) and the supplier.The client of the test laboratory might be identified by means of the System Conformance Statement (SCS) and a clientchecklist. Those proforma are included in annex B of the present document. The use of SCS proforma and clientchecklist is not mandatory, any suitable means of providing such information is acceptable.According to ETS 300 406 [1] the ICS proforma has two main objectives:-within the context of conformance testing, to be the reference document for the conformance assessment processrelated to the Implementation Under Test (IUT);-outside the context of conformance testing, to provide an overview of the implementation.Concerning the conformance assessment process, the ICS proforma is used:-as the description of the IUT for the static conformance review;-as an element of description of the IUT capabilities for the test case deselection;-as an element of description of the IUT for the test suite parameterization;-as a reference document for the analysis of the results;-for inclusion with the final test report.Outside the conformance testing context, the ICS proforma is or may be used:-to provide an overview of the capability supported by the implementation (see note);-to statically check the interworking capacities of two implementations;-as a standard checklist of the base specification conformance requirements.When requesting conformance / approval testing of an SDH layer implementation, the supplier should always fill all theICS proforma relevant for that layer. In the case where more than one instance of the same layer appears in the detailedsystem description, the client of a test laboratory should clearly identify any differences existing between these instances(if any).NOTE:Each capability of the ICS associated implementation is described as a conformance statement which isthe result of the answer, by the supplier, to the dedicated ICS item.SIST EN 300 417-1-2 V1.1.2:2003
