SIST EN 301 007-2 V1.2.3:2005 is the Slovenian adoption of the ETSI European Standard for Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Signalling System No.7 Operations, Maintenance and Administration Part (OMAP), Part 2. It is a Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma for the MTP Routeing Verification Test (MRVT) protocol, so it tells implementers and testers what to record about supported functions, messages, and parameters.

This document is used with EN 301 007-1, and it is meant for suppliers who need to declare conformance and for conformance reviewers who need a structured way to compare an implementation against the protocol specification.

What does SIST EN 301 007-2 V1.2.3:2005 specify?

SIST EN 301 007-2 V1.2.3:2005 specifies the PICS proforma for the MRVT protocol defined in EN 301 007-1, in line with the conformance testing guidance of ISO/IEC 9646-2. It defines the questionnaire used to state which optional capabilities and parameter values an implementation supports.

The document is organized into four clauses and two annexes:

Annex	What it covers
Annex A	Normative PICS proforma to be completed and, if needed, published
Annex B	Informative instructions for completing the PICS proforma

Clause 1 states the scope, Clause 2 lists references, Clause 3 defines terms, symbols, and abbreviations, and Clause 4 states the conformance obligation for suppliers of MRVT protocol implementations.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 301 007-2 V1.2.3:2005?

SIST EN 301 007-2 V1.2.3:2005 requires a supplier claiming conformance to complete the PICS proforma and identify both the supplier and the implementation. In practice, this is the basic record that lets a buyer or test lab know exactly what was implemented.

The PICS uses a global conformance statement in Annex A.3. The implementation is declared against all mandatory requirements of the referenced standard, and any “No” answer means the implementer must explain the non-conformant item. That matters because the PICS is not just a form - it is the basis for a conformance claim.

Annex A.4 records protocol capabilities. These include whether the implementation serves as the initiating point, an intermediate point, or the test destination, and whether it is independent of routing policy, linkset failures, and network structure. It also covers loop detection, excessive length routes, unknown destinations, bidirectional signalling relations, and the required actions when an error is detected. For a reader, this section shows how the implementation behaves under routing and failure conditions.

Annex A.4 also checks actions at the initiating point and intermediate point, including timer T1 handling, MRVT message sending, MRVA and MRVR handling, and reporting to SP management. This is the part that tells a tester what the node should do during a live MRVT exchange.

Annex A.5 covers the MRVT, MRVA, and MRVR message PDUs and information elements. It asks whether the implementation sends, receives, and processes these messages, and whether it supports items such as the trace request, route priority list, info request, copy Data parameter, and various result and failure indications. In practice, this is the message-content checklist for interoperability testing.

Annex A.6 covers protocol parameters. It checks timer T1 and the maximum number nT of parallel tests, including the value used for the European part of the international network. That matters when configuring a node for predictable test behavior and capacity limits.

Annex B explains how to complete the tables, including the use of Yes, No, X, supplementary information, and exceptional information. It also explains the role of the System Conformance Statement (SCS) and the static conformance review.

What terms does SIST EN 301 007-2 V1.2.3:2005 define?

• PICS - A Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement is the supplier’s statement of which capabilities are implemented for a given OSI protocol.
• PICS proforma - A questionnaire that becomes the PICS when completed for a specific implementation or system.
• IUT - The Implementation Under Test, meaning the implementation being checked for conformance.
• SUT - The System Under Test, meaning the system that contains the IUT.
• SCS - The System Conformance Statement, which summarizes the standards to which conformance is claimed.
• MRVT - The MTP Routeing Verification Test function or message.
• MRVA - The MTP Routeing Verification Acknowledgement message.
• MRVR - The MTP Routeing Verification Result message.

Who uses SIST EN 301 007-2 V1.2.3:2005?

SIST EN 301 007-2 V1.2.3:2005 is used by suppliers of MRVT protocol implementations, especially in ISDN and Signalling System No.7 environments. It is also used by product teams, test labs, and conformance reviewers who need to document what an implementation supports before running static conformance checks.

Network operators and equipment buyers use it to understand whether a node can initiate, relay, or answer MRVT traffic, and whether it handles routing faults and management reporting in the expected way. That makes it useful when comparing systems that support signalling points, signalling transfer points, and SS7 network management functions.

What changed in SIST EN 301 007-2 V1.2.3:2005 from the previous edition?

The history records a public enquiry version V1.2.2 in August 1999, a vote on V1.2.3 in August 2000, and publication of V1.2.3 in November 2000. The document is identified as Version 1.2.3.

Which standards are used with SIST EN 301 007-2 V1.2.3:2005?

• ETSI EN 301 007-1 - The protocol specification for ISDN, SS7, OMAP, Part 1, which this PICS proforma applies to.
• ISO/IEC 9646-1 - The general conformance testing framework that defines the PICS concept and related terms.
• ISO/IEC 9646-2 - The abstract test suite specification methodology used for conformance testing guidance.
• ITU-T Recommendation Q.753 - The source for MRVT, SRVT, and CVT management functions and OMASE-user definitions.

What does the SIST EN 301 007-2 V1.2.3:2005 document contain?

The document contains a structured questionnaire in Annex A with tables for implementation identification, protocol capabilities, MRVT message PDUs, information elements, and protocol parameters. It includes fields for IUT name, SUT details, supplier and client information, and the relationship to the SCS.

It also includes completion guidance in Annex B for using Yes, No, X, S., and X. entries. The tables are designed for conformance assessment, test selection, and documentation of supported MRVT behavior, including message handling and management reporting.
