ISO/IEC 138 18的这一部分定义了对数据存储介质命令和控制（DSMCC）标准的符合性，分为两个步骤:静态审查和动态审查，如ISO/IEC 9646一致性测试标准[1,2,31]所定义。静态审查要求以协议实施一致性声明（PICS）的形式在ISO/IEC 138 18的这一部分的第4条中规定形式。第5条描述了用于动态审查的ATS。 ISO/IEC 138 18的本部分并未规定与多媒体信息检索服务结合使用的终端设备必须遵守的所有要求。 特别是，ISO/IEC 138 18的这一部分没有规定用于交付/传输DSM-CC协议数据单元的（较低层）协议。也没有规定与设备的安全、保护和电磁兼容性（EMC）相关的要求，或此类设备可能需要遵守的监管要求。

This part of ISO/IEC 138 18 defines compliance to Data Storage Media Command and Control (DSMCC) standard in 2 steps: the static review and the dynamic review as defined in ISO/IEC 9646 Conformance Testing standard [ 1, 2, 31. The static review requirements are specified in clause 4 of this part of ISO/IEC 138 18 in the form of Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma. The ATS used for dynamic review is described in clause 5. This part of ISO/IEC 138 18 does not specify all the requirements with which terminal equipment intended for use in conjunction with multimedia information retrieval services has to comply. In particular, this part of ISO/IEC 138 18 does not specify (lower layer) protocols to be used to deliver/transport DSM-CC protocol data units. Neither does it specify requirements related to safety, protection, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of the equipment, or regulatory requirements with which such equipment may be required to comply.
