3.1 Definitions

For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in TR 21.905 [5] and the following apply. A term defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same term, if any, in TR 21.905 [5].

Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS): statement made by the supplier of an implementation or system claimed to conform to a given specification, stating which capabilities have been implemented

ICS proforma: document, in the form of a questionnaire, which when completed for an implementation or system becomes an ICS

Implementation extra Information for Testing (IXIT): A statement made by a supplier or implementer of an UEUT which contains or references all of the information (in addition to that given in the ICS) related to the UEUT and its testing environment, which will enable the test laboratory to run an appropriate test suite against the UEUT

IXIT proforma: A document, in the form of a questionnaire, which when completed for an UEUT becomes an IXIT

Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS): An ICS for an implementation or system claimed to conform to a given protocol specification

Protocol Implementation extra Information for Testing (PIXIT): An IXIT related to testing for conformance to a given protocol specification

Static conformance review: A review of the extent to which the static conformance requirements are claimed to be supported by the UEUT, by comparing the answers in the ICS(s) with the static conformance requirements expressed in the relevant specification(s)
