Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission)
form the specialized System for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC
participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the
respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees
collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, govemmental and non-govemmental,
in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.
In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTCl.
In addition to developing International Standards, ISO/IEC JTCl has created a Special Group on Functional
Standardization for the elaboration of International Standardized Profiles.
An International Standardized Profile is an intemationally agreed, harmonized document which identifies a
Standard or group of Standards, together with Options and parameters, necessary to accomplish a function or a
set of functions.
Draft International Standardized Profiles are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as
an
International Standardized Profile requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
International Standardized Profile ISO/IEC ISP 10613-1 was prepared with the collaboration of
- Asia-Oceania Workshop (AOW);
- European Workshop for Open Systems (EWOS);
- Open Systems Environment Implernentors’ Workshop (OIW).

Introduction
This International Standardized Profile (ISP) is defined in accordance with the principles specified by XSO/IEC
Technical Report 10000.
The context of Functional Standardization is one area in the overall field of Information Technology (IT)
standardization activities, covering base Standards, profiles, and registration mechanisms. A Profile defines a
combination of base Standards that collectively perform a specific well-defined IT function. Profiles standardize
the use of Options and other variations in the base Standards, and provide a basis for the development of uniform,
intemationally recognized System tests.
ISPs arc produced not simply to ‘legitimize’ a particular choice of base Standards and Options, but to promote
real System interoperability. One of the most important roles for an ISP is to serve as the basis for the
development (by organizations other than ISO and IEC) of intemationally recognized tests. The development and
widespread acceptance of tests based on this and other ISPs is crucial to the successful realization of this goal.
ISO/IEC ISP 10613 consists of several parts of which this is part 1. This part of ISO/IEC ISP 10613 specifies
the Profile requirements that are subnetwork-independent. There are further parts which specify subnetwork-
dependent and media-dependent requirements. In addition, for each individual Profile there is a part of ISO/IEC
ISP 10613 which identifies the specific requirements of that Profile, making reference to appropriate material
from part 1 and from the subnetwork dependent parts of ISO/IEC ISP 10613.

ISPICS Requirements List
Al . Introduction
ISO/IEC TR 10000-1 identifies three items to be included in an ISPICS Requirements List. These are:
general Options of the Profile;
list of base Standards selected in the Profile;
constraints on the allowable answers in the PICS proforma of each such base Standard.
The first two items relate to the Profile as a whole, and so are included only in those parts of ISO/IEC ISP 10613
which arc specific to individual profiles. But each part of ISO/IEC ISP 10613 contains the identification of those
PICS proforma constraints which are within its scope.
ISO/IEC TR lOOOO- 1 indicates that an ISPICS proforma may consist either of a simple list of constraints or of
amended copies of the base PICS proforma. In this part of ISO/IEC ISP 10613 the former method is used.
Notation and Conventions
A.2
A.2.1 Introduction
In many cases the constraints imposed by the IPRL are expressed in the form of Symbols indicating the Status
in the context of this part of ISO/IEC ISP 10613 of those base Standard PICS proforma items to which the
constraints apply. The Symbols used are defined in the following two subclauses.
A.2.2 Notation for Static Conformance
The following Symbols are used to identify constraints on the capabilities to be supported by a conforming
implementation:
Symbols directly specifying Status:
a)
Symbol Meaning
mandatory
m
0 optional
X prohibited
not applicable
i out of scope, not relevant to this Profile
It should be noted that, in the context of received PDUs or fields or Parameters of received PDUs, the
capability to support them is the ability to interpret the significance of the PDU or field and act on it
in accordance with the dynamic conformance requirements of the protocol (which may in some cases
ISO/IEC ISP 10613-1: 1994(E)
0 ISO/IEC
mean generating an error report). PDUs or fields which are not supported are those whose receipt
ignored and has no impact on the protocol Operation.
Other associated notation
b)
c condi tional (see below)
citem>: condi tional (see below)
Symbols of the form c are used when the Status of an item is dependent on the support of other
items. In this case, is a number which refers to a definition at the end of the subclause in which
it is used. That definition specifies the conditional Status, which may, for example, be in a form such
as “if ABC then m else x ”, which would indicate that the Status is mandatory if the item in the PICS
proforma with reference ABC is supported, and otherwise is prohibited.
Symbols of the form : are used as an abbreviated way of expressing a condition wherein
the Status is as identified if the specified item is supported, and otherwise the Status is not applicable.
So, for example, “ABC:m” would be equivalent to a conditional Status “if ABC then m else - “.
A.2.3 Notation for Dynamit Conformance
In some cases it is necessary to specify constraints not only on the capabilities which are implemented, but on
whether they are used. When this is necessary the stak conformance Status Symbol from A.2.2.a) above is
followed by an additional Symbol to create a two-Character Status definition. The second Symbol specifies the
dynamic constraints, and the meanings are as follows:
Symbol Meaning
m mandatory
- the implementation is required to use the capability whenever applicable
0 optional
- use of the capability is optional
X prohibited
- use of the capability is not permitted
not applicable
i outside the scope of this ISP
disabling required
d
- use of the capability is not invariably prohibited but the implementation is required to
provide a means whereby it tan be disabled
indicated
for example, a Status of “mm” would mean that it is mandatory to provide the capability by the
Thus,
proforma item and that it is also mandatory to use that capability wherever applicable.
PICS
Where only a Single Status Character is used, it specifies the static requirement and indicates that no additional
constraint is placed upon the dynamic use of the capability.

A3 l IPRL for ISO 8473
Since the base Standard does not itself have a PICS proforma, interim base Standard PICS proforma information
for an intermediate System is provided in annex B. When a standardized base Standard PICS proforma is
available, this part of ISO/IEC ISP 10613 will be revised to refer to it.
