SIST EN 300 356-34 V3.0.5:2005 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 300 356-34 Version 3.0.5 for Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) signalling over Signalling System No. 7. It specifies the Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma for ISDN User Part (ISUP) version 3 supplementary services on the international interface, including Completion of Calls on No Reply (CCNR). Suppliers, exchange manufacturers, and test laboratories use it to declare which supplementary-service capabilities an exchange supports and to support validation testing and interoperability checks.

What does SIST EN 300 356-34 V3.0.5:2005 specify?

SIST EN 300 356-34 V3.0.5:2005 specifies the PICS proforma for ISUP v3 supplementary services. It applies to exchanges that have implemented the ISUP v3 protocol specification and is used for validation testing of the exchange types defined in the ISUP v3 series.

The document is organized into four main clauses and one normative annex:

• Clause 1 states the scope.
• Clause 2 lists the references used by the proforma.
• Clause 3 gives the key definitions and abbreviations.
• Clause 4 states the conformance rules for a completed PICS.
• Annex A is the normative PICS proforma, with instructions, identification fields, and capability tables.

The foreword also places this part in the EN 300 356 series and points to Part 35 for TSS&TP and Part 36 for the ATS, partial PIXIT proforma, and PCTR for supplementary services.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 356-34 V3.0.5:2005?

Clause 4 and Annex A turn the standard into a structured questionnaire, not a free-form declaration. A conforming PICS must be technically equivalent to Annex A, keep the same numbering and order, and identify both the supplier and the implementation. In practice, that means a test lab can compare two implementations item by item without guessing what version or configuration was assessed.

Conformance statement and completion rules

Annex A.1 says the supplier completes every provided space in the proforma and may add comments separately. Annex A.1.2 defines the item status and support conventions used in the tables, including mandatory, optional, conditional, and not applicable items. In practice, this matters because a PICS answer is only meaningful when it matches the item status and any conditional rule attached to it.

Identification of what is being declared

Annex A.2 requires identification of the statement date, the Implementation Under Test (IUT), the System Under Test (SUT), the product supplier, the client, and a contact person. Annex A.3 identifies the reference specification as EN 300 356-2. In practice, these fields tie the capability statement to one concrete implementation and one exact system configuration.

Roles and generic signalling capability

Table A.1 requires the exchange to declare at least one role among Originating local exchange (OLE), National transit exchange (NTE), Outgoing international exchange (OutIE), International transit exchange (ITE), Incoming international exchange (IncIE), and Destination local exchange (DLE). Table A.2 then records support for generic supplementary-service signalling procedures such as end-to-end signalling, SCCP connection-oriented and connectionless operation, generic number and digit transfer, notification, service activation, remote operations, and network-specific procedures. For a buyer or test engineer, this shows whether the node can participate in the signalling mechanisms that supplementary services depend on.

Supplementary services covered by the capability matrix

Table A.3 is the main capability matrix for supplementary services. It covers CLIP, CLIR, COLP, COLR, Terminal Portability (TP), User-to-User Signalling (UUS), Closed User Group (CUG), Subaddressing (SUB), Malicious Call Identification (MCID), Conference Call, add-on (CONF), Explicit Call Transfer (ECT), Call Forwarding Busy (CFB), Call Forwarding No Reply (CFNR), Call Forwarding Unconditional (CFU), Call Deflection (CD), Call Hold (HOLD), Call Waiting (CW), Completion of Calls to Busy Subscribers (CCBS), Three-Party (3PTY), and CCNR. In practice, this table tells you which supplementary services the exchange claims to support and which companion part applies to each service.

Service-specific behaviour and interworking

Tables A.4 to A.17 refine the declaration for individual services. They cover role-specific behaviours such as number presentation or restriction handling for CLIP, CLIR, COLP, and COLR; user-to-user information handling for UUS; CUG administration and interworking; SUB parameter length; MCID storage and forwarding; CONF user notification; ECT call transfer and loop-prevention handling; call diversion and redirection; and HOLD interworking with PSTN. These tables matter because they capture practical interworking behaviour, not just a yes/no feature flag.

CCBS and CCNR timing and queueing

Tables A.18 and A.19 focus on CCBS and CCNR. They ask the supplier to declare support for retain options, request and supervision timers, recall timers, queue entries, and service availability handling. For validation, these declarations are important because timeouts and queue limits often determine whether two exchanges can complete the same supplementary-service flow reliably.

What terms does SIST EN 300 356-34 V3.0.5:2005 define?

Abstract Test Case (ATC) - A complete, independent test action set for one test purpose, expressed at the level of an abstract test method.

Abstract Test Method (ATM) - The abstract description of how an implementation is to be tested, independent of any specific test equipment.

Abstract Test Suite (ATS) - A collection of abstract test cases used as the basis for conformance testing.

Implementation Under Test (IUT) - The protocol implementation being examined by testing.

Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) - A supplier’s statement of which capabilities an implementation supports.

Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) - Information supplied about the implementation and test environment so a test laboratory can run the right test suite.

System Under Test (SUT) - The real open system that contains the implementation under test.

Who uses SIST EN 300 356-34 V3.0.5:2005?

SIST EN 300 356-34 V3.0.5:2005 is used by suppliers of ISUP v3 exchanges, network operators, conformance test laboratories, and engineering or quality teams that need to document supplementary-service support. It is especially useful when a node implements one or more ISDN supplementary services and the team must state exactly which roles, procedures, and service variants are supported.

It is also useful during interoperability planning, acceptance testing, and procurement checks, because the proforma links each claimed capability to a specific role or service behavior.

What does the SIST EN 300 356-34 V3.0.5:2005 document contain?

Annex A contains the full questionnaire-style PICS proforma, including identification fields, a global conformance statement, role selection, and service-by-service capability tables. The annex uses tabular status and support columns so a supplier can record what the exchange supports and under what conditions.

The body of the document also contains the definitions and abbreviations needed to read the proforma, plus the conformance rule that the completed PICS must follow Annex A exactly. The tables refer back to the underlying ISUP service specifications so that each declared capability can be traced to the relevant supplementary-service behaviour.

3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
- terms defined in ISDN User Part (ISUP) reference specification [5];
- terms defined in ISO/IEC 9646-1 [1], ISO/IEC 9646-3 [2] and in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [3].
In particular, the following terms apply:

Abstract Test Method (ATM): description of how an IUT is to be tested, given at an appropriate level of abstraction to
make the description independent of any particular realization of a Means of Testing, but with enough detail to enable
abstract test cases to be specified for this method (see ISO/IEC 9646-1 [1], clause 3.3.5)
Abstract Test Suite (ATS): test suite composed of abstract test cases (see ISO/IEC 9646-1 [1], clause 3.3.6)
Implementation Under Test (IUT): implementation of one or more OSI protocols in an adjacent user/provider
relationship, being part of a real open system which is to be studied by testing (see ISO/IEC 9646-1 [1], clause 3.3.43)
ISDN number: number conforming to the numbering and structure specified in ITU-T Recommendation E.164 [30]
Means of Testing (MOT): combination of equipment and procedures that can perform the derivation, selection,
parameterization and execution of test cases, in conformance with a reference standardized ATS, and can produce a
conformance log (see ISO/IEC 9646-1 [1], clause 3.3.54)

PICS proforma: document, in the form of a questionnaire, which when completed for an implementation or system
becomes the PICS
PIXIT proforma: document, in the form of a questionnaire, which when completed for the IUT becomes the PIXIT
Point of Control and Observation: point within a testing environment where the occurrence of test events is to be
controlled and observed, as defined in an Abstract Test Method (see ISO/IEC 9646-1 [1], clause 3.3.64)
Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS): statement made by the supplier of a protocol claimed to
conform to a given specification, stating which capabilities have been implemented (see ISO/IEC 9646-1 [1],
clause 3.3.39 and clause 3.3.80)
Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT): statement made by a supplier or implementor of
an IUT (protocol) which contains or references all of the information related to the IUT and its testing environment,
which will enable the test laboratory to run an appropriate test suite against the IUT (see ISO/IEC 9646-1 [1],
clauses 3.3.41 and 3.3.81)
System Under Test (SUT): real open system in which the IUT resides (see ISO/IEC 9646-1 [1], clause 3.3.103)
User: access protocol entity at the User side of the user-network interface where a T reference point or coincident S and
T reference point applies
