term defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same term, if any, in TR 21.905 [5].
Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS): statement made by the supplier of an implementation or system
claimed to conform to a given specification, stating which capabilities have been implemented
ICS proforma: document, in the form of a questionnaire, which when completed for an implementation or system
becomes an ICS
Implementation extra Information for Testing (IXIT): A statement made by a supplier or implementer of an UEUT
which contains or references all of the information (in addition to that given in the ICS) related to the UEUT and its
testing environment, which will enable the test laboratory to run an appropriate test suite against the UEUT
IXIT proforma: A document, in the form of a questionnaire, which when completed for an UEUT becomes an IXIT
Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS): An ICS for an implementation or system claimed to
conform to a given protocol specification
Protocol Implementation extra Information for Testing (PIXIT): An IXIT related to testing for conformance to a
given protocol specification
Static conformance review: A review of the extent to which the static conformance requirements are claimed to be
supported by the UEUT, by comparing the answers in the ICS(s) with the static conformance requirements expressed in
the relevant specification(s)

A.1 Guidance for completing the ICS proforma
A.1.1 Purposes and structure
The purpose of this ICS proforma is to provide a mechanism whereby a supplier of an implementation of the
requirements defined in relevant specifications may provide information about the implementation in a standardised
manner.
The ICS proforma is subdivided into clauses for the following categories of information:
- instructions for completing the ICS proforma;
- identification of the implementation;
- identification of the protocol;
- ICS proforma tables (for example: UE implementation types, Teleservices, etc).
A.1.2 Abbreviations and conventions
The ICS proforma contained in this annex is comprised of information in tabular form in accordance with the guidelines
presented in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [18].
Item column
The item column contains a number which identifies the item in the table.
Item description column
The item description column describes in free text each respective item (e.g. parameters, timers, etc.). It implicitly
means "is supported by the implementation?".
Reference column
The reference column gives reference to the relevant 3GPP core specifications.
Release column
The release column indicates the earliest release from which the capability or option is relevant.
Mnemonic column
The Mnemonic column contains mnemonic identifiers for each item.
Comments column
This column is left blank for particular use by the reader of the present document.
