1 Scope
The present document provides the Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS) proforma for 5G New Radio (NR)
User Equipment (UE), in compliance with the relevant requirements.
Special conformance testing functions can be found in 3GPP TS 38.509 [12] and 3GPP TS 36.509 [14] and the common
test environments are included in 3GPP TS 38.508-1 [11] and 3GPP TS 36.508 [13].
The present document is valid for UE implemented according to 3GPP Releases starting from Release 15 up to the
Release indicated on the cover page of the present document.

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)
