A protocol implementation conformance statement (PICS) is a structured document which asserts which specific requirements are met by a given implementation of a protocol standard.
[1] It is often completed as a record of formal protocol conformance test results, and some automated testing systems machine-author a PICS as output.
[2] A potential buyer or user of the implementation can consult the PICS to determine if it meets their requirements.
