ISO/IEC 18023-3 — Transmittal format binary encoding

7 Conformance

7.1 Table of contents

Table 7.1 contains the table of contents for this clause.

7.2 Types of conformance

7.2.1 Conformance of an STF

A conforming SEDRIS transmittal encoded as specified in this part of ISO/IEC 18023 shall satisfy the following criteria:

1. Each element is encoded in the manner specified in this part of ISO/IEC 18023.
2. The syntax of the STF functionally conforms to the ATF as specified in part 2 of ISO/IEC 18023 (see 2.[I18023-2]).

7.2.2 Conformance of generators

Conformance of STF generators is defined in terms of conformance to a particular profile of SEDRIS.

If P is a profile of SEDRIS that conforms to the rules of this clause, an STF generator is a conforming P generator if it:

1. generates only encoded SEDRIS transmittals that conform to the requirements of profile P or is directed to operate in a mode where only such encoded SEDRIS transmittals can be generated;
2. generates no syntax in violation of part 1 of ISO/IEC 18023; and
3. generates no structure in violation of part 2 of ISO/IEC 18023.

7.2.3 Conformance of interpreters

Conformance of STF interpreters is defined in terms of conformance to a particular profile of SEDRIS.

If P is a profile of SEDRIS that conforms to the rules of this clause, an STF interpreter is a conforming P interpreter if it is able to read any STF-encoded SEDRIS transmittal that confrms to the requirements of profile P.
