3.4 Coding conventions

For the purposes of the present document, the following coding conventions apply.

All lengths are presented in bytes, unless otherwise stated. Each byte is represented by bits b8 to b1, where b8 is the
Most Significant Bit (MSB) and b1 is the Least Significant Bit (LSB). In each representation, the leftmost bit is the
MSB.

In the UICC, all bytes specified as RFU is to be set to '00' and all bits specified as RFU are to be set to 0. If the GSM
and/or USIM application exists on a UICC or is built on a generic telecommunications card, then other values may
apply for the non- GSM or non-USIM applications. The values will be defined in the appropriate specifications for such
cards and applications. These bytes and bits are not to be interpreted by a Terminal in a GSM or 3G session.

The coding of all data objects in the present document is according to ETSI TS 102 221 [1]. All data objects are
BER-TLV except if otherwise defined.

3.5 Applicability
3.5.1 Applicability of the present document
This present test specification applies to terminal equipment that supports UICC according to ETSI TS 102 221 [1].

3.5.2 Applicability of the individual test cases

Table A.1 lists the optional features for which the supplier of the implementation states the support.

3.5.3 Applicability to terminal equipment

The applicability to terminal equipment specified in table B.1 of the present document applies, unless otherwise
specified.

3.6 Definitions
3.6.1 Format of table of the table of optional features
The columns in table A.1 have the following meaning:

Column Meaning
Option: The optional feature supported or not by the implementation.
Status: See clause 3.6.3 'Status and Notations'.
Support: The support columns are to be filled in by the supplier of the implementation. The following
common notations, defined in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [5], are used for the support column in table A.1:
Y or y supported by the implementation.
N or n not supported by the implementation.
N/A, n/a or - no answer required (allowed only if the status is N/A, directly or after
evaluation of a conditional status).
Mnemonic: The mnemonic column contains mnemonic identifiers for each item.

ETSI
Release 15 19 ETSI TS 102 230-1 V15.0.0 (2023-08)

3.6.2 Format of the applicability table

The applicability of every test in table B.1 is formally expressed by the use of Boolean expression defined in the
following clause.

The columns in table B.1 have the following meaning:

Column Meaning
Test case: The "Test case" column gives a reference to the test case number(s) detailed in the present document
and required to validate the implementation of the corresponding item in the "Description" column.
Description: In the "Description" column a short non-exhaustive description of the requirement is found.
Release: The "Release" column gives the Release applicable and onwards, for the item in the "Description"
column.
Rel x TE: For a given Release, the corresponding "Rel X Terminal" column lists the tests required for a Terminal to
be declared compliant to this Release.
Support: The "Support" column is blank in the proforma, and is to be completed by the manufacturer in respect of
each particular requirement to indicate the choices, which have been made in the implementation.

3.6.3 Status and Notations

The "Release X Terminal" columns show the status of the entries as follows:

The following notations, defined in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [5], are used for the status column:

M mandatory - the capability is required to be supported.

O optional - the capability may be supported or not.

N/A not applicable - in the given context, it is impossible to use the capability.

X prohibited (excluded) - there is a requirement not to use this capability in the given context.

O.i qualified optional - for mutually exclusive or selectable options from a set. "i" is an integer which
identifies an unique group of related optional items and the logic of their selection which is
defined immediately following the table.

Ci conditional - the requirement on the capability ("M", "O", "X" or "N/A") depends on the support
of other optional or conditional items. "i" is an integer identifying an unique conditional status
expression which is defined immediately following the table. For nested conditional expressions,
the syntax "IF ... THEN (IF ... THEN ... ELSE...) ELSE ..." is to be used to avoid ambiguities.

References to items

For each possible item answer (answer in the support column) there exists a unique reference, used, for example, in the
conditional expressions. It is defined as the table identifier, followed by a solidus character "/", followed by the item
number in the table. If there is more than one support column in a table, the columns are to be discriminated by letters
(a, b, etc.), respectively.

EXAMPLE: A.1/4 is the reference to the answer of item 4 in table A.1.

7.3.5 Chaining - IFSD management

7.3.5.1 Definition and applicability

Chaining allows the Terminal or the UICC to transfer information, which is longer than IFSC or IFSD. If information
longer than IFSC or IFSD is transferred, the information should be divided into pieces, each has a length ≤ IFSC or
IFSD. Each piece should be sent in an I-block using the chaining function.

When a receiver receives a more-data I-block, a R(N(R)) shall be sent. N(R) = N(S) of the expected I-block. At least
one chained block should follow.

ETSI
Release 15 83 ETSI TS 102 230-1 V15.0.0 (2023-08)

The IFSD defines the maximum length of the information field of blocks that the terminal can receive.

9.2.1.9.2 Conformance requirement

9.2.1.9.2.1 Description

The UICC rejects the RESUME UICC command if it does not have a valid status to resume. To indicate the rejection
the UICC will return status word '6985'.

ETSI
Release 15 108 ETSI TS 102 230-1 V15.0.0 (2023-08)

9.2.1.9.2.2 Reference

ETSI TS 102 221 [1], clause 11.1.22.

9.2.1.9.3 Test purpose

To verify that the Terminal is not resuming the UICC for the file system state and for the events for which it had
previously registered if the resume is rejected by the UICC.

9.2.1.9.4 Method of test

9.2.1.9.4.1 Initial conditions

The Terminal shall be connected to the UICC simulator, where the UICC simulator indicates support of the SUSPEND
UICC command in EFUMPC.

The UICC simulator shall indicate support of the TERMINAL CAPABILITY command in the FCP for the MF.

The Terminal supports a keypad and the PIN to verify the user at the NAA is enabled.

The Terminal shall be activated.

The Terminal has selected an NAA present on the UICC.

Any technology specific conditions for the Terminal to use the SUSPEND UICC command are met.

9.2.1.9.4.2 Procedure

a) When the Terminal is in mode PIN check, the valid PIN shall be entered.

b) The UICC simulator shall send the proactive command SETUP EVENT LIST for the event: User activity.

c) The Terminal shall be made to suspend the UICC. Any conditions (for example: waiting for a timeout or
suitable configuration of the Terminal) which would normally be required for the Terminal to suspend the
UICC shall be satisfied (see note related to O_SUSPEND_UICC of table A.1 in clause 3.7).

d) After reception of a SUSPEND UICC command with P1 = 'Suspend the UICC' the UICC simulator returns an
8 byte Resume token and the minimum time duration proposed by the terminal as the time duration for which
it can be suspended.

e) The Terminal shall deactivate the UICC-Terminal interface.

f) The Terminal shall be made to resume the UICC (see note related to O_SUSPEND_UICC of table A.1 in
clause 3.7).

NOTE: No user activity should be performed before step k).

g) The Terminal shall activate the UICC-Terminal interface.

h) The Terminal is performing the communication establishment procedures.

i) After reception of a SUSPEND UICC command with P1 = 'Resume the UICC' the UICC simulator sends
status word '6985' in return.

j) The Terminal shall send TERMINAL PROFILE.

k) The Terminal shall select a network application present on the UICC.

l) When the Terminal is in mode PIN check, the valid PIN shall be entered.

m) Wait for at least 2 minutes.

9.2.1.9.5 Acceptance criteria

1) During step m) the Terminal shall not send an ENVELOPE for the User activity event to the UICC simulator.
