CAN/CSA-Z243.184-92 (R2015)

Preface

This is the first edition of CSA Standard CAN/CSA-Z243.184, Information Processing Systems - Open Systems Interconnection - file Transfer, Access and Management - Port 5: Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement Proforma. 

This Standard is part of a family of Standards designed to enable the interconnection of information system resources. The architecture underlying this family of Standards is described in the basic reference model for Open Systems Interconnection in CSA Standard CAN3-Z243.100. In terms of this architecture, this Standard defines a service and specifies a protocol within the application layer of the reference model. 

Scope

This part of ISO 8571 defines a Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma for the detailed expression of the conformance requirements of ISO 8571. This PICS proforma is in compliance with the relevant requirements and in accordance with the relevant guidance for a PICS proforma given in ISO 9646-2. Detail of the use of this proforma is provided in this part of ISO 8571. Implementations claiming conformance to ISO 8571 shall complete the proforma as part of the conformance requirements. The level of detail required in the proforma exceeds that of the protocol specification by requiring details to uniquely identify the implementation and the supplier.

NOTE - PICS are related to base standards and only base standards. PICS structure might be expanded and refined for other documents using the base standards (eg. ISPICS).
