Answers to the questionnaire are to be provided in the rightmost column, either by
simply marking an answer to indicate a restricted choice (such as Yes or No), or by
entering a value or a set or range of values.
Items of Exception Information are required by certain answers in the questionnaire and
are indicated by an “__X__
” cross-reference to be completed. This occurs when, for
example, an answer indicates that a feature classified as Mandatory has not been
implemented: the Exception item should contain the appropriate rationale.
The final section of the PICS, for Supplementary Information, allows a supplier to
provide additional information intended to assist the interpretation of the PICS. It is not
intended or expected that a large quantity will be supplied, and a PICS can be considered
complete without any such information. An example might be an outline of the ways in
which a (single) implementation can be set up to operate in a variety of environments
and configurations.
References to items of Supplementary Information may be entered next to any answer in
the questionnaire, and may be included in items of Exception Information.
