Overview
SIST ETS 300 138-2:1996 specifies the Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma for the Closed User Group (CUG) supplementary service, operating through the Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. one (DSS1) protocol in an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) environment. This document is essential for manufacturers, network providers, and other stakeholders in telecommunications seeking to demonstrate and assess the conformance of their ISDN solutions to CUG supplementary service requirements at the user-network Layer 3 interface.
The standard fully aligns with ISO/IEC 9646 guidelines for conformance testing frameworks and provides a comprehensive basis for further work on extra test information (PIXIT) and Abstract Test Suite (ATS) specifications for supplementary ISDN services.
Key Topics
- Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma: Provides a structured format (questionnaire style) for suppliers to declare the extent of protocol implementation, identifying supported features and options as per CUG supplementary services using DSS1.
- User and Network perspectives: The standard addresses both user and network implementations, ensuring complete coverage at the ISDN interface according to ITU-T Recommendation I.411 reference points.
- Mandatory and Optional Features: Establishes which protocol elements are mandatory, optional, or conditional, along with detailed guidelines for completing and submitting the PICS.
- Roles and Capabilities: Clarifies requirements by separating roles (user/network) and systematically listing major and subsidiary capabilities, protocol data unit (PDU) parameters, and state/timer behavior.
- Traceability and Identification: Requires comprehensive identification for each implementation (Implementation Under Test, System Under Test, supplier and client details) to ensure traceable conformance claims.
- Static Conformance Review: Enables static compliance review by comparing completed PICS against the requirements in the standard, facilitating transparent verification processes.
Applications
SIST ETS 300 138-2:1996 delivers practical benefits in several scenarios:
- Conformance Assessment: Provides a standardized method for vendors and service providers to declare and validate conformity of their ISDN CUG supplementary service implementations, streamlining procurement and deployment.
- Product Certification and Interoperability: Used as a foundation for product certification and for facilitating interoperability between ISDN devices and services across different suppliers in the European market.
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensures alignment with European and international regulations for digital telecommunication services, critical for network operators and equipment makers in regulated markets.
- Testing and Quality Assurance: Forms the initial step in a broader conformance testing methodology, enabling the development of test suites (ATS) and supplementary test information (PIXIT), which ensures comprehensive and repeatable evaluation of ISDN services.

Foreword
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Signalling Protocols and
Switching (SPS) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
This ETS 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) Closed User Group
(CUG) 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: "TSS&TP specification for the network";
Part 6: "ATS and partial PIXIT proforma specification for the network".
NOTE: The first part, ETS 300 138-1 (1992), containing the protocol specification, was initially
published as ETS 300 138 (1992) and has identical contents.
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).

1 Scope
This second part of ETS 300 138 is applicable to the stage three of the Closed User Group (CUG)
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 [12]) 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 telecommunications service (see CCITT Recommendation I.130 [11]).
This ETS provides the Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma for the ISDN
DSS1 CUG supplementary service protocol as specified in ETS 300 138-1 [2] in compliance with the
relevant requirements and in accordance with the relevant guidance given in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [10].
The supplier of a protocol implementation which is claimed to conform to ETS 300 138-1 [2] is required to
complete a copy of the PICS proforma provided in annex A of this ETS and is required to provide the
information necessary to identify both the supplier and the implementation.

3 Definitions
For the purposes of this ETS, the following definitions apply, in addition to those given in
ETS 300 138-1 [2]:
Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS): A statement made by the supplier of an
Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) implementation or system, stating which capabilities have been
implemented for a given OSI protocol (see ISO/IEC 9646-1 [9]).
PICS proforma: A document, in the form of a questionnaire, designed by the protocol specifier or
conformance test suite specifier, which, when completed for an OSI implementation or system, becomes
the PICS (see ISO/IEC 9646-1 [9]).
static conformance review: A review of the extent to which the static conformance requirements are met
by the IUT, accomplished by comparing the PICS with the static conformance requirements expressed in
the relevant standard(s) (see ISO/IEC 9646-1 [9]).

5 Conformance
A PICS proforma which conforms to this PICS proforma specification shall be technically equivalent to
annex A, and shall preserve the numbering and ordering of the items in annex A.
A PICS which conforms to this PICS proforma specification shall:
a) describe an implementation which claims to conform to ETS 300 138-1 [2];
b) be a conforming ICS proforma which has been completed in accordance with the instructions for
completion given in clause A.1;
c) include the information necessary to uniquely identify both the supplier and the implementation.

Annex A (normative): PICS proforma
Notwithstanding the provisions of the copyright clause related to the text of this ETS, ETSI grants that
users of this ETS may freely reproduce the PICS proforma in this annex so that it can be used for its
intended purposes and may further publish the completed PICS.
A.1 Instructions for completing the PICS proforma
A.1.1 Identification of the implementation
Identification of the Implementation Under Test (IUT) and the system in which it resides (the System
Under Test (SUT)) should be filled in so as to provide as much detail as possible regarding version
numbers and configuration options.
The product supplier information and client information should both be filled in if they are different.
A person who can answer queries regarding information supplied in the PICS should be named as the
contact person.
The SCS as defined in ISO/IEC 9646-1 [9] is a document supplied by the client or product supplier that
summarizes which OSI International Standards, ITU-T (CCITT) Recommendations, ETSs or other
standards are implemented and to which conformance is claimed. The PICS/SCS subclause should
describe the relationship of the PICS to the SCS.
A.1.2 Global statement of conformance
If the answer to the statement in this subclause is "Yes", all subsequent subclauses should be completed
to facilitate selection of test cases for optional functions.
If the answer to the statement in this subclause is "No", all subsequent subclauses should be completed,
and all non-supported mandatory capabilities should be identified and explained. Explanations may be
entered in the comments field at the bottom of each table or on attached sheets of paper.
A.1.3 Explanation of PICS proforma subclauses
The PICS proforma contains a Roles clause and thereafter is presented in two parts (for user and
network) with the following subclauses, as required:
- major capabilities;
- subsidiary capabilities;
- protocol data unit support;
- protocol data unit parameters;
- timers;
- call states.
The User clause shall only be completed for user implementations (including private network
implementations) while the Network clause shall only be completed for network implementations. The
Roles subclause shall be completed for all implementations.
The relationship between this PICS proforma and other related PICS proforma (e.g. the basic call PICS
proforma) is expressed in the Requirements List (RL) contained in annex B. This provides the additional
restrictions placed on the related proforma (different conditions, different status, etc.).
