The supplier of a protocol implementation claiming to conform to IEEE Std 802.9-1994 shall complete the following PICS proforma and accompany it with the information necessary to identify fully both the supplier and the implementation. The PICS is a document specifying the capabilities and options that have been implemented, and any features that have been omitted, so that the implementation can be tested for conformance against relevant requirements, and against those requirements only. This PICS has several uses; the most important are the static conformance review and test case selection in order to identify which conformance tests are applicable to this product. The PICS proforma is a document, in the form of a questionnaire, normally designed by the protocol specifier or conformance test suite specifier which, when completed for an implementation or system, becomes the PICS.
