For an Iu mode capable MS, if all the following conditions are met, then the "Cell selection priority" and the "Status for cell reselection" shall be set to normal (Iu mode):

‑ the cell belongs to the MS HPLMN if no EHPLMN list is available or is empty, or the cell belongs to any PLMN defined in the EHPLMN list;
‑ the MS is in cell test operation mode;
‑ the CELL_BAR_QUALIFY_3 is set to "01";
‑ the Access Control class 15 is barred;

Otherwise, if the MS is A/Gb mode capable, if all the following conditions are met, then the "Cell selection priority" and the "Status for cell reselection" shall be set to normal (A/Gb mode):

‑ the cell belongs to the MS HPLMN if no EHPLMN list is available or is empty, or the cell belongs to any PLMN defined in the EHPLMN list;
‑ the MS is in cell test operation mode;
‑ the CELL_BAR_ACCESS is set to "1";
‑ the CELL_BAR_QUALIFY is set to "0";
‑ the Access Control class 15 is barred.

NOTE 1: A low priority cell is only selected if there are no suitable cells of normal priority (see 3GPP TS 43.022).

NOTE 2: Two identical semantics are used for cross phase compatibility reasons. This allows an operator to declare a cell always as a low priority one for a phase 2 MS, but keeps the opportunity for an operator to decide whether a phase 1 MS is permitted to camp on such a cell or not.

NOTE 3: void

NOTE 4: Iu mode not supported.

NOTE 5: The cell is barred against the MSs supporting Iu mode.

NOTE 6: Iu mode supported and the Iu mode capable MS shall access Iu mode.

NOTE 7: In case an optional parameter is not included in a point-to-point signalling message, the default value of that parameter shall replace any previously broadcast value, where applicable.
