The present document defines the application test specification. The aim of the present document is to ensure interoperability between an UICC and a terminal independently of the respective manufacturer, card issuer or operator. The present document does not define any aspects related to the administrative management phase of the UICC. Any internal technical realisation of either the UICC or the Terminal is only specified where these are reflected over the interface. Application specific details for applications residing on an UICC are specified in the respective application specific documents. The logical and physical Characteristics of the UICC Terminal interface is specified in document ETSI TS 102 221 [5]. The Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM)-application for 3G telecommunication networks is specified in document TS 31.102.

The present document provides the UICC-Terminal Interface Conformance Test Specification between a terminal and the USIM (Universal Subscriber Identity Module) as an application on the UICC and the Terminal for a 3GPP network operation:

• the default setting of the USIM;
• the applicability of each test case;
• the test configurations;
• the conformance requirement and reference to the core specifications;
• the test purposes; and
• a brief description of the test procedure and the specific acceptance criteria.

For the avoidance of doubt, references to clauses of ETSI TS 102 221 [5] include all the clauses of that clause, unless specifically mentioned. ETSI TS 102 221 [5] contains material that is outside of the scope of 3GPP requirements. A 3GPP ME may support functionality that is not required by 3GPP, but the requirements to do so are outside of the scope of 3GPP. Thus the present document does not contain tests for features defined in ETSI TS 102 221 [5] which are out of scope of 3GPP. In the present document, unless explicitly stated otherwise, for Rel-13 onwards the term E-UTRAN implicitly refers to E-UTRAN in WB-S1 mode. E-UTRAN in NB-S1 mode is always explicitly referred to as NB-IoT.

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 in same release as the implementation release of the terminal under test applies.
