scope:

This tenth part of EN 300 356 specifies the stage three of the Subaddressing (SUB) supplementary service for the pan-European Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) as provided by the European public telecommunications operators by means of the Signalling System No.7 protocol for the ISDN User Part (ISUP). Stage three identifies the protocol procedures and switching functions needed to support a telecommunication service (see CCITT Recommendation I.130 [1]). The present document does not specify the additional protocol requirements where the service is provided to the user via a telecommunications network that is not an ISDN. The present document does not specify the additional protocol requirements for the national signalling interface. Although the present document applies only to the international interconnection, the specification of functions, formats and codes of messages and signals, and actions performed at originating and destination local exchanges are retained. Formats, codes and procedures marked for national use are included for informative purposes for the international interface specification. If these items so marked are supported within a national network and operator's network, then it is proposed that they shall be supported in this manner.
