SIST EN 300 210-2 V1.2.4:2005 is the Slovenian adoption of EN 300 210-2 Version 1.2.4. It defines the Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma for the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Freephone (FPH) supplementary service using the Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. one (DSS1) protocol, so suppliers can state which user or network capabilities their implementation supports.
What does SIST EN 300 210-2 V1.2.4:2005 specify?
SIST EN 300 210-2 V1.2.4:2005 specifies the PICS proforma for the stage three specification of the ISDN Freephone supplementary service. It is written for implementations that claim conformance to EN 300 210-1 and follows the PICS guidance of ISO/IEC 9646-7.
In practice, the document tells a supplier how to complete a conformance statement for a user or network implementation. The completed PICS is then used to document support for optional features and to support static conformance checking.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Annex A | Normative PICS proforma, including instructions, identification fields, roles, user and network capability tables |
| Annex B | Normative requirements list linking this PICS to related basic call, generic functional protocol, and supplementary service interactions PICS forms |
| Annex C | Informative summary of changes compared with the previous ETS 300 210-2 |
The main clauses cover scope, normative references, definitions, abbreviations, and conformance. Annex A is the core working part of the document.
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 210-2 V1.2.4:2005?
SIST EN 300 210-2 V1.2.4:2005 is mainly a completion and conformance document, but it still sets clear rules for how the PICS must be prepared and used. The most important point is that the finished PICS has to match annex A in structure and item order.
Conformance and identification
The PICS proforma in annex A must be reproduced with the same numbering and order of items. That matters because conformance checking depends on being able to compare one implementation against the same checklist.
The completed PICS must identify the implementation under test (IUT), the system under test (SUT), the product supplier, the client, and a contact person. In practice, this gives testers and purchasers a way to trace the statement to a specific product and version.
The global conformance statement in annex A asks whether the implementation meets all mandatory requirements of EN 300 210-1. If the answer is “No”, the PICS must identify the unsupported mandatory capabilities and explain them.
Roles and applicability
Annex A separates the statement into roles, with one part for user implementations and one part for network implementations. The roles table also covers the coincident S and T reference point and private ISDN interworking cases.
This matters because the wrong role selection can make a PICS incomplete or misleading. A user implementation completes the user tables, a network implementation completes the network tables, and the roles table applies to all implementations.
User-side capabilities
For user implementations, annex A covers acceptance of freephone calls, busy monitoring-related procedures, and the facility information elements and parameters associated with those functions. It also includes the related support for received and sent items, such as invoke, return result, and return error information.
That tells an implementer exactly what to declare about user-side FPH behavior. It is not enough to say “supported” in general - the PICS breaks support down into specific protocol data units, parameters, and call-state behavior.
Network-side capabilities
For network implementations, annex A covers acceptance and delivery of freephone calls, busy monitoring, delivery of queueing notification, timers, and FPH call states. It also covers the network’s received and sent facility information element components.
In practice, this is where a network supplier shows whether the implementation can handle the FPH call flow, the queueing indication, and the required timer behavior. Annex A also identifies the FPH Idle, FPH Await Status, and FPH Busy Monitoring states.
Support coding and dependencies
Annex A uses standard conformance notation such as mandatory, optional, conditional, not applicable, and selectable options. Support is marked with yes/no style answers.
That structure matters because the form is not just a checklist - it captures dependency rules. Some items only apply when other items are selected, so the completed PICS shows exactly which combinations are implemented.
Related PICS dependencies
Annex B lists the related requirements that apply to the basic call PICS, the generic functional protocol PICS, and the supplementary service interactions PICS. It points to the corresponding items in EN 300 403-3, EN 300 196-2, and EN 300 195-2.
This is important for users who need a complete conformance file. A Freephone implementation may need more than one PICS form, and annex B shows which extra items must be considered in those companion documents.
What terms does SIST EN 300 210-2 V1.2.4:2005 define?
- Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) - A statement from the supplier saying which capabilities of a protocol implementation are supported.
- PICS proforma - A questionnaire-style document that becomes the PICS when it is completed for a specific implementation.
- Static conformance review - A comparison of the completed PICS against the static conformance requirements of the relevant standard.
- Implementation Under Test (IUT) - The implementation being assessed for conformance.
- System Under Test (SUT) - The system in which the IUT resides during the conformance review.
- System Conformance Statement (SCS) - A document that summarizes which standards and parts are implemented and claimed as conformant.
- Freephone (FPH) - The supplementary service covered by this part of the standard.
Who uses SIST EN 300 210-2 V1.2.4:2005?
SIST EN 300 210-2 V1.2.4:2005 is used by suppliers of ISDN equipment and software that claim conformance to EN 300 210-1. It is also used by product suppliers, clients, and the named contact person who must answer questions about the declaration.
Test laboratories and conformance assessors use it to review the completed PICS and to select test cases for optional functions. Network operators and manufacturers use it when they need to document whether a user-side or network-side FPH implementation supports the required procedures, timers, and states.
What changed in SIST EN 300 210-2 V1.2.4:2005 from the previous edition?
Compared with the previous ETS 300 210-2, this edition converts the document to EN layout. It also replaces references to ETS 300 102 and associated I-ETSs with EN 300 403, and substitutes non-specific references to basic standards with the latest version where that was intended.
The foreword also says that this version updates the references to the basic call specifications.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 300 210-2 V1.2.4:2005?

What does the SIST EN 300 210-2 V1.2.4:2005 document contain?
The document contains a short front matter, five main clauses, and three annexes. Annex A provides the PICS questionnaire form with identification fields, a global conformance statement, role selection, and separate user and network tables for capabilities, protocol data units, parameters, timers, and call states.
Annex B gives the requirements list that links this Freephone PICS to the related basic call, generic functional protocol, and supplementary service interactions PICS forms. Annex C gives the changes relative to the previous ETS edition.
The tables use the standard conformance coding found in ISO/IEC 9646-7, so users can record whether an item is mandatory, optional, conditional, or not applicable. The annex layout is designed for completion during supplier declarations and for later static conformance review.

Foreword
This European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Signalling
Protocols and Switching (SPS).
The present document is part 2 of a multi-part standard covering the Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. one
(DSS1) protocol specification for the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Freephone (FPH) supplementary
service, as described below:
Part 1: "Protocol specification";
Part 2: "Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma specification";
Part 3: "Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes (TSS&TP) specification for the user";
Part 4: "Abstract Test Suite (ATS) and partial Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT)
proforma specification for the user";
Part 5: "Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes (TSS&TP) specification for the network";
Part 6: "Abstract Test Suite (ATS) and partial Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT)
proforma specification for the network".
To evaluate conformance of a particular implementation, it is necessary to have a statement of which capabilities and
options have been implemented for a given Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) protocol. Such a statement is called a
Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS).
The present version updates the references to the basic call specifications.

1 Scope
This second part of EN 300 210 is applicable to the stage three of the Freephone (FPH) supplementary service for the
pan-European Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) as provided by European public telecommunications
operators at the T reference point or coincident S and T reference point (as defined in ITU-T Recommendation
I.411 [11]) by means of the Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. one (DSS1) protocol. Stage three identifies the
protocol procedures and switching functions needed to support a telecommunication service
(see CCITT Recommendation I.130 [10]).
The present document provides the Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma for the ISDN
DSS1 FPH supplementary service protocol as specified in EN 300 210-1 [6] in compliance with the relevant
requirements and in accordance with the relevant guidance given in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [9].
The supplier of a protocol implementation which is claimed to conform to EN 300 210-1 [6] is required to complete a
copy of the PICS proforma provided in annex A of The present document and is required to provide the information
necessary to identify both the supplier and the implementation.
