ISO/DIS 10303-238:2026(en)
The Protocol Information and Conformance Statement (PICS) Proforma supports the conformance assessment of implementations requesting evaluation to this document. This annex is in the form of a questionnaire. This questionnaire is intended to be filled out by the implementer and may be used in preparation for conformance testing by a testing laboratory.
All implementers shall provide answers to the questions provided.
Question:
1. Please provide an identifier for the product or system for which conformance is claimed:
Product name and current version number:_____________________________
2. Please indicate the implementation method chosen:
ISO 10303-21 exchange structure -- preprocessor
Preprocessor name and current version number:__________________________
ISO 10303-21 exchange structure -- postprocessor
Postprocessor name and current version number:__________________________
ISO 10303-28 XML exchange structure -- preprocessor
Preprocessor name and current version number:__________________________
ISO 10303-28 XML exchange structure -- postprocessor
Postprocessor name and current version number:__________________________
3. This document defines four conformance classes. Each class is defined so as to include all the options specified by the preceeding class. Please indicate the highest numbered class for which conformance is claimed. Circle one:
CC1: Tool path programming
CC2: Closed-loop programming
CC3: Feature-based programming
CC4: Generative programming
4. If conformance to CC1: Tool path programming is claimed, answer the questions below.
(a) Indicate which machining technologies are supported. Circle all that apply:
milling
turning
(b) Indicate which toolpath curve geometries are supported. Circle all that apply:
polylines, composite or trimmed curves based upon line or circle
all bounded_curve types
the following bounded_curve types:__________________________
5. If conformance to CC2: Closed-loop programming is claimed, answer the questions below.
