Table B.2-1 provides a list of ICS definitions describing optional UE behaviour which is not associated with a ICS defined in Annex A.

The ICS specified in the present section are not used in TTCN or in TC prose specification. The provision of answer if the UE supports any of one these ICS is not a prerequisite for TC execution. Rather, the ICS are specified for the sole purpose of facilitating the work of any organisation, e.g. TC validation in Certification organisation, in identifying the optional test branches through which an UE has gone during test execution.
