{{Short description|Structured document specifying standards compliance}}

A '''Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement''' or most commonly '''PICS''' is a structured document which asserts which specific requirements are met by a given implementation of a [[communications protocol|protocol]] [[Technical standard|standard]]. It is often completed as a record of formal protocol [[conformance testing|conformance test]] results, and some [[automated testing]] systems machine-author a PICS as output. A potential buyer or user of the implementation can consult the PICS to determine if it meets his or her requirements. PICS may be used with [[TTCN-3]].
