scope:

This document specifies conformance testing procedures for implementations of ISO/IEC 15938-17 and provides conformance bitstreams. It also provides the reference software for ISO/IEC 15938-17 as an electronic attachment. The software is an integral part of this International Standard. Requirements established in ISO/IEC 15938-17 take precedence over the behaviour of the reference software. The use of this reference software is not required for making an implementation of an encoder or decoder in conformance to ISO/IEC 15938-17. The reference software is however required for the conformance testing procedures of decoders and bitstreams.
