SIST EN 301 070-2 V1.1.2:2005 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 301 070-2 V1.1.2. It provides the Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma for Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) User Part (ISUP) version 3 interactions with the Intelligent Network Application Part (INAP) in IN Capability Set 1 (CS1). In practice, it is the questionnaire an implementer completes to declare which protocol capabilities are supported for conformance assessment.

What does SIST EN 301 070-2 V1.1.2:2005 specify?

SIST EN 301 070-2 V1.1.2:2005 specifies the PICS proforma used to validate conformance for the interaction between ISUP v3 and INAP CS1 defined in EN 301 070-1. It applies to exchanges that implement ISUP v3 in the call control function (CCF) and INAP CS1 in the service switching function (SSF), and it is stated as applicable to validation testing of all exchange types covered by the ISUP v3 protocol specification.

The document is organized as a short main text plus one normative annex.

Annex	What it covers
Annex A	The PICS proforma, including completion instructions, implementation identification, reference-specification identification, and capability tables

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 301 070-2 V1.1.2:2005?

SIST EN 301 070-2 V1.1.2:2005 requires the supplier to complete the PICS proforma in a standardized way so that the implementation can be assessed against the reference specification. The completed PICS must be technically equivalent to Annex A and keep the same numbering and order of items.

Completing the PICS

Clause 4 states that a conforming PICS must describe an implementation claimed to conform to EN 301 070-1 and EN 300 356-1, must be completed according to the instructions, and must identify both the supplier and the implementation. This matters because the PICS is the evidence trail for conformance claims.

Annex A.1 says the supplier fills in all spaces provided and may add separate comments if needed. The annex also sets the table conventions, so each answer can be read consistently by test labs and customers.

How answers are marked

Annex A.1.2 defines the status notations used in the tables: mandatory, not applicable, optional, qualified optional, and conditional. It also defines the support entries such as supported, not supported, and not applicable.

In practice, this tells the supplier exactly how to mark each capability and tells the reviewer how to interpret the answer. A “No” response to a mandatory capability is treated as non-conformance.

Identification and reference data

Annex A.2 asks for identification of the IUT, the SUT, the product supplier, the client, and the ICS contact person. This information makes the completed PICS traceable to a specific product version and configuration.

Annex A.3 ties the PICS to EN 301 070-1 and notes that support for the basic services in ITU-T Recommendation Q.784.1 is a prerequisite. For a buyer or lab, that means the PICS is not a standalone declaration; it is linked to the underlying protocol specification.

Global conformance and capability tables

Annex A.4.1 asks whether all mandatory capabilities are implemented. The note explains that a “No” answer means the implementation is non-conforming and that any missing mandatory capabilities must be identified with an explanation.

Annex A.4.2 lists the capability items for INAP operations and timers. The operation table covers items such as assist method support, through-connection, early call indicators, fallback, correlation ID handling, and related exchange behavior, while the timer table lists TSU, TNoReply, and TUID. In practice, these tables show what the implementation supports and what a test team should verify or document.

What terms does SIST EN 301 070-2 V1.1.2:2005 define?

• Abstract Test Method (ATM) - The abstract description of how an implementation under test is to be tested.
• Abstract Test Suite (ATS) - A suite made up of abstract test cases.
• Implementation Under Test (IUT) - The protocol implementation being examined by testing.
• Means of Testing (MOT) - The equipment and procedures used to select, parameterize, execute, and log test cases.
• Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) - The supplier’s statement of which capabilities are implemented.
• Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) - Extra information about the implementation and its test environment needed to run tests.
• System Under Test (SUT) - The real open system that contains the IUT.

Who uses SIST EN 301 070-2 V1.1.2:2005?

SIST EN 301 070-2 V1.1.2:2005 is used by suppliers of exchanges and protocol implementations, conformance test laboratories, and organizations that need to document supported ISUP v3 and INAP CS1 capabilities. It is also useful for quality managers, integrators, and buyers who need to compare what an implementation claims to support with the requirements of EN 301 070-1.

Which standards are used with SIST EN 301 070-2 V1.1.2:2005?

Standard	What it contributes
EN 301 070-1	The protocol specification for ISUP v3 and INAP interactions that this PICS describes
EN 300 356-1	Additional ISUP basic services reference used in the document and in the definitions
ISO/IEC 9646-1	General conformance testing concepts and terms
ISO/IEC 9646-3	Tree and Tabular Combined Notation (TTCN)
ISO/IEC 9646-7	Rules for Implementation Conformance Statements
ITU-T Recommendation Q.1218	Intelligent network CS-1 interface recommendation
ITU-T Recommendation Q.784.1	ISUP basic call test specification and prerequisite basic services
ITU-T Recommendation E.164	International public telecommunication numbering plan

The foreword also places this document in the EN 301 070 series alongside Part 1, Part 3, and Part 4, where Part 1 gives the protocol specification, Part 3 gives Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes (TSS & TP), and Part 4 gives the Abstract Test Suite (ATS) and partial PIXIT proforma specification.

What does the SIST EN 301 070-2 V1.1.2:2005 document contain?

SIST EN 301 070-2 V1.1.2:2005 contains a short technical framework for completing a conformance statement and a normative annex that is intended to be reproduced and completed. The annex includes the implementation-identification fields, the reference-specification field, the global yes/no conformance statement, and the capability tables for operations and timers.

It is structured for conformance documentation and validation work, not for describing the full protocol behavior in detail. The practical output is a completed PICS that can be used by test teams and reviewers to check what the implementation claims to support.
