scope:

This Recommendation I International Standard defines a Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma for the detailed expression of the conformance requirements of ITU-T Rec. X.852 I ISO/IEC 9805-1. This PICS proforma is in compliance with the relevant requirements for a PICS proforma given in ITU-T Rec. X.296 I ISO/IEC 9646-7. Detail of the use of this proforma is provided in this Recommendation I International Standard. Implementors of implementations claiming conformance to ITU-T Rec. X.852 I ISO/IEC 9805-1 shall complete the proforma as part of the conformance requirements. The level of detail required in the proforma exceeds that of the protocol specification by requiring details to uniquely identify the implementation and the supplier.

NOTE - PIGS are related to base standards and only base standards. PICS structure might be expanded and refined for other documents (e.g. ISPs) using the base standards (e.g. ISPICS).
