National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO/IEC 9646-4 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IECJTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee 21, Open Systems Interconnection, data management and open distributed processing. This second edition cancels and replaces tje first edition (ISO/IEC 9646-4:1991) which has been technically revised. ISO/IEC 9646 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology-Open Systems Interconnection --Conformance testing methodol- ogy and framework: - Part I: General concepts -Part 2:Abstract Test Suite specification -- Part 3: The Tree and Tabular Combined Notation - Part 4: Test realization - Part 5: Requirements on test laboratories and clients for the conformance assessment process Part 6: Protocol profile test specification - Part 7: Implementation conformance statements Annex A of this part of ISO/IEC 9646 is for information only. ili CopyrightIntemationalOrganizationfor Standardization e from IHS Not for Resale
