Scope and field of application

This part of IS0 8571 defines in an abstract way the externally visible file transfer, access and management service within the OS1 Application Layer in terms of:

a) the primitive actions and events of the service;

b) the parameter data associated with each primitive action and event;

c) the relationship between, and the valid sequences of, these actions and events.

The service defined in IS0 8571 -3 is that which is provided by the OS1 file transfer, access and management protocol IS0 8571-4 in conjunction with the Association Control Service Elements IS08649 and with the Presentation service IS0 8822.

IS0 8571-3 does not specify individual implementations or products, nor does it constrain the implementation of entities and interfaces within a computer system. There is, therefore, no conformance to this part of IS0 8571.
