Description (English):

Provides the PICS proforma for the detailed expression of the conformance requirements of CCITT Rec. X.711 / ISO/IEC 9596-1. This PICS proforma is in compliance with the relevant requirements and in accordance with the relevant guidance, given in CCITT Rec. X.291 / ISO/IEC 9646-2. Annex A contains the PICS proforma for version 2 of CMIP. Annex B contains version 1 of the tables of the kernel functional unit that were amended by version 2. All other tables of the kernel functional unit are the same for both versions.

Abstract

Overview

ISO/IEC 9596-2:1993 defines the PICS proforma (Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement) for the Common Management Information Protocol (CMIP) used in OSI systems. The document provides a standardized template and completion instructions so suppliers can express in detail which parts of CCITT Rec. X.711 / ISO/IEC 9596‑1 their implementation supports. Annex A contains the PICS proforma for CMIP version 2; Annex B provides amended kernel functional unit tables for version 1. The proforma aligns with conformance-testing guidance in CCITT Rec. X.291 / ISO/IEC 9646‑2.

Key Topics

PICS proforma template: A textually defined form (Annex A) that must be used to declare protocol conformance, differing only in pagination/headers.
Instructions for completion: Rules and examples for filling the proforma, including required fields for supplier identity, implementation identification, dates, and defect/addenda references.
Status and support notations: Use of standard status markers (e.g., m = mandatory, o.N, X = prohibited) and support flags (Y/N) as defined by ISO/CCITT conformance methodology.
Functional-unit coverage: Tables and clauses that document support for CMIP functional units (kernel, filter, multiple-object selection, multiple-reply, cancel-get, extended service, M‑GET protocol, etc.).
Parameter declarations: Structured places to list supported Parameters such as CMIPUserInfo and CMIPAbortInfo, with types, values and ranges (TVR).
Conformance claims: Global statement of whether all mandatory capabilities are implemented and lists of non‑implemented mandatory items (if any).

Applications

ISO/IEC 9596-2 is practical for:

Product vendors and implementers completing a formal PICS for product documentation and certification.
Conformance test laboratories and test-suite developers using the proforma alongside ISO/IEC 9646 test methods to verify CMIP behavior.
System integrators and procurement teams verifying feature support and interoperability requirements between network and systems management products.
Standards bodies and auditors maintaining consistent, comparable conformance statements across implementations.

Using this standard helps accelerate interoperability testing, clarifies scope of support for CMIP features, and provides an audit-ready record for certification and vendor comparison.
