The present document contains the validation (conformance) test specification for the Application Transport
Mechanism defined in EN 301 069-1 [1]. The present document applies only to exchanges having implemented the
ISUP v3 protocol specification for the Application Transport Mechanism of the exchange. It is applicable for validation
testing of all types of exchanges as defined in the ISUP v3 protocol specification. It does not deal with compatibility
testing.
The main body of the present document presents the Protocol Implementation Conformance Statements (PICS) for the
Application Transport Mechanism defined in compliance with the relevant requirements and in accordance with the
guidance given in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [4]. EN 301 069-3 [8] provides the Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes
(TSS&TP) for the Application Transport Mechanism (APM).
This statement indicates which capabilities and options of a telecommunication specification have been implemented. It
is necessary for evaluating the conformance of a particular implementation.
The supplier of an implementation that is claimed to comply with the reference specification for the Signalling System
No.7, Application Transport Mechanism EN 301 069-1 [1], is required to complete a copy of the PICS proforma.
