Foreword
rd
This Technical Specification has been produced by the 3 Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).
The contents of the present document are subject to continuing work within the TSG and may change following formal
TSG approval. Should the TSG modify the contents of the present document, it will be re-released by the TSG with an
identifying change of release date and an increase in version number as follows:
Version x.y.z
where:
x the first digit:
1 presented to TSG for information;
2 presented to TSG for approval;
3 or greater indicates TSG approved document under change control.
y the second digit is incremented for all changes of substance, i.e. technical enhancements, corrections,
updates, etc.
z the third digit is incremented when editorial only changes have been incorporated in the document.
Introduction
To evaluate conformance of a particular implementation, it is necessary to have a statement of which capabilities and
options have been implemented for a telecommunication specification. Such a statement is called an Implementation
Conformance Statement (ICS).
The present document is part 3 of a multi-parts TS:
3GPP TS 37.571-1: Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA) and Evolved UTRA (E-UTRA) and Evolved
Packet Core (EPC); User Equipment (UE) conformance specification for UE positioning; Part 1: Conformance
test specification.
3GPP TS 37.571-2: Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA) and Evolved UTRA (E-UTRA) and Evolved
Packet Core (EPC); User Equipment (UE) conformance specification for UE positioning; Part 2: Protocol
conformance.
3GPP TS 37.571-3: Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA) and Evolved UTRA (E-UTRA) and
Evolved Packet Core (EPC); User Equipment (UE) conformance specification for UE positioning; Part 3:
Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS).
3GPP TS 37.571-4: Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA) and Evolved UTRA (E-UTRA) and Evolved
Packet Core (EPC); User Equipment (UE) conformance specification for UE positioning; Part 4: Test suites.
3GPP TS 37.571-5: Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA) and Evolved UTRA (E-UTRA) and Evolved
Packet Core (EPC); User Equipment (UE) conformance specification for UE positioning; Part 5: Test scenarios
and assistance data.

1 Scope
The present document provides the Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS) proforma for UTRAN, E-UTRAN
and NR User Equipment (UE) supporting UE positioning, in compliance with the relevant requirements, and in
accordance with the relevant guidance given in ISO/IEC 9646-1 [7] and ISO/IEC 9646-7 [8].
The present document also specifies a recommended applicability statement for the test cases included in 3GPP TS
37.571-1 [5] and 3GPP TS 37.571-2 [6]. These applicability statements are based on the features implemented in the
UE.
Special conformance testing functions can be found in 3GPP TS 34.109 [10] for UTRA, 3GPP TS 36.509 [2] for E-
UTRA and 3GPP TS 38.509 [14] for NR. The common test environments are included in 3GPP TS 34.108 [9] for
UTRA, in 3GPP TS 36.508 [3] for E-UTRA and in 3GPP TS 38.508-1 [15] for NR.
The present document is valid for UE supporting UE positioning implemented according to 3GPP releases starting from
Release 99 up to the Release indicated on the cover page of the present document.
2 References
The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present
document.
• References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or
non-specific.
• For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
• For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including
a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version of that document in the same
Release as the present document unless the context in which the reference is made suggests a different Release is
relevant (information on the applicable release in a particular context can be found in e.g. test case title,
description or applicability, message description or content).
