Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of
ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees
established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC
technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information
technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
In addition to developing International Standards, ISO/IEC JTC 1 also develops International Standardized
Profiles. An International Standardized Profile is an internationally agreed, harmonized document which
identifies a standard or group of standards, together with options and parameters, necessary to accomplish a
function or a set of functions. Draft International Standardized Profiles adopted by the joint technical
committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standardized Profile
requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/IEC ISP 12062-4 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology,
Subcommittee SC 6, Telecommunications and information exchange between systems.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO/IEC ISP 12062-4:1997), which has been
technically revised.
ISO/IEC ISP 12062 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology —

Introduction
This part of ISO/IEC ISP 12062 is defined within the context of Functional
Standardization, in accordance with the principles specified by ISO/IEC
TR 10000, “Framework and Taxonomy of International Standardized
Profiles”. The context of Functional Standardization is one part of the
overall field of Information Technology (IT) standardization activities,
covering base standards, profiles, and registration mechanisms. A profile
defines a combination of base standards that collectively perform a
specific well-defined IT function. Profiles standardize the use of options
and other variations in the base standards, and provide a basis for the
development of uniform, internationally recognized system tests.
One of the rôles for an ISP is to serve as the basis for the development
(by organizations other than ISO and IEC) of internationally recognized
tests. ISPs are produced not simply to ‘legitimize’ a particular choice of
base standards and options, but to promote real system interoperability.
The development and widespread acceptance of tests based on this and
other ISPs is crucial to the successful realization of this goal.
The text for this part of ISO/IEC ISP 12062 was originally developed in
close cooperation between the MHS Expert Groups of the three Regional
Workshops: the North American OSE Implementors’ Workshop (OIW),
the European Workshop for Open Systems (EWOS) (jointly with the
corresponding expert group of the European Telecommunications
Standards Institute - ETSI) and the OSI Asia-Oceania Workshop (AOW).
The first and second editions of this part of ISO/IEC ISP 12062 were
harmonized between these three Workshops and ratified by the plenary
assemblies of all three Workshops.
Responsibility for maintenance and further development of MHS ISPs has
been transferred to ISO/IEC JTC1/SC33/WG1, who have produced this
edition to encompass additions and corrections to ISO/IEC 10021.
Because new core requirements have been added for support of
Universal Characters in addresses which will take time to be implemented
within MHS systems, it is expected that the second edition of this part of
ISO/IEC ISP 12062 will remain available for an overlap period.

Part 4:
AMH23 and AMH25 — IPM Requirements for MTS Access (P3)
and MTS 94 Access (P3)
1 Scope
1.1 General
This part of ISO/IEC ISP 12062 covers access to a Message Transfer System (MTS) in an Interpersonal
Messaging (IPM) environment using the P3 MTS Access Protocol (see also figure 1). These specifications form
part of the Interpersonal Messaging application functions, as defined in the parts of ISO/IEC ISP 12062, and are
based on the Common Messaging content type-independent specifications in ISO/IEC ISP 10611.
An MTA or an MTS-user which conforms to profile AMH23 as specified in this part of ISO/IEC ISP 12062 shall
support profile AMH12 as specified in ISO/IEC ISP 10611-4.
An MTA or an MTS-user which conforms to profile AMH25 as specified in this part of ISO/IEC ISP 12062 shall
support profile AMH14 as specified in ISO/IEC ISP 10611-4.
1.2 Position within the taxonomy
This part of ISO/IEC ISP 12062 is the fourth part of a multipart ISP identified in ISO/IEC TR 10000-2 as “AMH2,
Message Handling Systems - Interpersonal Messaging”.
This part of ISO/IEC ISP 12062 specifies the following profiles:
AMH23 - IPM Requirements for MTS Access (P3)
AMH25 - IPM Requirements for MTS 95 Access (P3)
The AMH23 and AMH25 profiles may be combined with any T-Profiles (see ISO/IEC TR 10000) specifying the
OSI connection-mode Transport service.
1.3 Scenario
The model used is one of access to an MTS by an IPM MTS-user - specifically, the intercommunication between
a message transfer agent (MTA) and an IPM MTS-user using the P3 protocol, as shown in figure 1.

ISO/IEC ISP 12062-4:2003(E)
Terms used in this part of ISO/IEC ISP 12062 are defined in the referenced base standards; in addition, the
following terms are defined.
3.1 General
Basic requirement : an Element of Service, protocol element, procedural element or other identifiable feature
specified in the base standards which is required to be supported by all MHS implementations.
Functional group : a specification of one or more related Elements of Service, protocol elements, procedural
elements or other identifiable features specified in the base standards which together support a significant
optional area of MHS functionality.
NOTE - A functional group can cover any combination of MHS features specified in the base standards for which the effect
of implementation can be determined at a standardized external interface - i.e. via a standard OSI communications protocol
(other forms of exposed interface, such as a standardized programmatic interface, are outside the scope of this version of
ISO/IEC ISP 12062).
3.2 Support classification
To specify the support level of operations, arguments, results and other protocol features for this part of ISO/IEC
ISP 12062, the following terminology is defined.
The following classifications are used in this part of ISO/IEC ISP 12062 to specify static conformance
requirements - i.e. capability.
NOTE - The following classifications apply only to MTS-users, as the requirements for support of operations, arguments,
results and other protocol features by an MTA are as specified in ISO/IEC 10611-4.
In the case of arguments and results (protocol elements), the classification is relative to that of the containing
element, if any. Where the constituent elements of a non-primitive element are not individually specified, then
each shall be considered to have the classification of that element. Where the range of values to be supported
for an element is not specified, then all values defined in the MHS base standards shall be supported.
mandatory support (m) : the element or feature shall be supported. An implementation shall be able to
generate the element, and/or receive the element and perform all associated procedures (i.e. implying the ability
to handle both the syntax and the semantics of the element) as relevant, as specified in the MHS base
standards. Where support for origination (generation) and reception are not distinguished, then both capabilities
shall be assumed.

5 Conformance
This part of ISO/IEC ISP 12062 states requirements upon implementations to achieve interworking. A claim of
conformance to this part of ISO/IEC ISP 12062 is a claim that all requirements in the relevant base standards
are satisfied, and that all requirements in the following clauses and in annexes A and B of this part of ISO/IEC
ISP 12062 are satisfied.
5.1 Conformance statement
For each implementation claiming conformance to profiles AMH23 and/or AMH25 as specified in this part of
ISO/IEC ISP 12062, a PICS shall be made available stating support or non-support of each option identified in
this part of ISO/IEC ISP 12062.
The scope of conformance to profiles AMH23 and AMH25 covers both MTAs and MTS-users. A claim of
conformance to profiles AMH23 and/or AMH25 shall state whether the implementation claims conformance as
an MTA, as a UA, or as an MS which is not co-located with an MTA. The claim shall also state if the
implementation conform to profiles AMH23 and/or AMH25.
A claim of conformance to profile AMH23 shall confirm that the implementation supports profile AMH12 as
specified in ISO/IEC ISP 10611-4. A claim of conformance to profile AMH25 shall confirm that the
implementation supports profile AMH14 as specified in ISO/IEC ISP 10611-4.
A claim of conformance to profiles AMH23 and/or AMH25 as a UA shall confirm that the implementation
supports profile AMH21 as specified in ISO/IEC ISP 12062-2.
5.2 MHS conformance
This part of ISO/IEC ISP 12062 specifies implementation options or selections such that conformant
implementations will satisfy the conformance requirements of ISO/IEC 10021 and the ITU-T X.400
Recommendations.
Implementations conforming to profiles AMH23 and AMH25 shall conform to the basic requirements of profiles
AMH12 and AMH14, as appropriate to the type of implementation (i.e. MTA or MTS-user) for which conformance
is claimed.
Implementations conforming to profiles AMH23 and/or AMH25 as specified in this part of ISO/IEC ISP 12062
shall additionally implement all the mandatory support (m) features identified as basic requirements in annexes
A and B except those features that are components of an unimplemented optional feature. It shall be stated
which optional support (o) features are implemented.
For implementations conforming to profiles AMH23 and/or AMH25 as specified in this part of ISO/IEC ISP
12062, it shall be stated whether or not they support any of the optional functional groups as specified in ISO/IEC
ISP 12062-1 which are applicable to the scope of this profile and to the role (i.e. MTA or MTS-user) for which
conformance is claimed. For each functional group for which support is claimed, an implementation shall
additionally implement all the mandat
