scope:

The present document defines rules of implementation for certain service information features. These rules have been developed to provide a reliable and consistent experience for digital radio listeners; they provide implementation details for how the Fast Information Channel (FIC) signalling is used and how receivers will interpret and behave in response to receiving the FIC signalling. The rules defined in the present document supersede the informative guidance given in ETSI TR 101 496 [i.1] for the Fast Information Groups (FIGs) contained herein. In addition, some clarifications are provided for ETSI EN 300 401 [1] where a number interpretations may appear equally valid: in each case this is mentioned specifically. Future versions of ETSI EN 300 401 [1] will be modified to include these clarifications.
