Mobile Station (MS) conformance specification; Part 4: Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) application toolkit conformance test specification
The present document describes the technical characteristics and methods of test for testing the SIM Application Toolkit implemented in Mobile Stations (MS) for the Pan European digital cellular communications system and Personal Communication Systems (PCS) operating in the 450 MHz, 480 MHz, 700 MHz, 750 MHz, 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1 800 MHz and 1 900 MHz frequency band (GSM 400, GSM 700, GSM 750, GSM 850, GSM 900, DCS 1 800 and PCS 1 900) within the European digital cellular telecommunications system, in compliance with the relevant requirements, and in accordance with the relevant guidance given in ISO/IEC 9646‑7 [19] and ETS 300 406 [20].
The present document is valid for MS implemented according to GSM Phase2+ R96, or R97, or R98, or R99.
The present document covers the minimum characteristics considered necessary in order to provide sufficient performance for mobile equipment and to prevent interference to other services or to other users, and to the PLMNs.
It does not necessarily include all the characteristics which may be required by a user or subscriber, nor does it necessarily represent the optimum performance achievable.
The present document is part of the GSM-series of technical specifications. The present document neither replaces any of the other GSM technical specifications or GSM related ETSs or ENs, nor is it created to provide full understanding of (or parts of) the GSM 400, GSM 700, GSM 850, GSM 900, DCS1800 and PCS1900 systems . The present document lists the requirements, and provides the methods of test for testing the SIM Application Toolkit implemented in a MS for conformance to the GSM standard.
For a full description of the system, reference should be made to all the GSM technical specifications or GSM related ETSs or ENs. Clause 2 provides a complete list of the GSM technical specifications, GSM related ETSs, ENs, and ETRs, on which this conformance test specifications is based.
If there is a difference between this present conformance document, and any other GSM technical specification or GSM related ETS or EN, or 3GPP TS, then the other GSM technical specification or GSM related ETS or EN or 3GPP TS shall prevail.
Normative requirements for the SIM and SIM Application Toolkit are only specified up to Rel-4. The present document is only available in this release for allowing maintenance of test cases. The core features related to those test cases remain applicable only to the releases in which they have been specified.
