# 7 Conformance Requirements

An implementation claiming DICOM conformance may choose to support one of the following:

- network conformance according to Section 7.1 (DICOM Network Conformance Requirements);

- media storage conformance according to Section 7.2 (DICOM Media Storage Conformance Requirements);

- both of the above.

## 7.1 DICOM Network Conformance Requirements

An implementation claiming DICOM network conformance shall:

- conform to the minimum conformance requirements defined in this section;

- provide with the implementation a Conformance Statement structured according to the rules and policies in this Part including Annex A;

- conform to at least one Standard or Standard Extended SOP class as defined in PS3.4;

### Note

Conformance to a Standard or Standard Extended SOP class implies conformance to the related IOD outlined in PS3.3, the Data Elements defined in PS3.6, and the operations and notifications defined in PS3.7.

- comply with the rules governing SOP Class types outlined in Section 7.3;

- accept a Presentation Context for the Verification SOP Class as an SCP if the implementation accepts any DICOM association requests;

- produce and/or process Data Sets as defined in PS3.5;

### Note

Conformance to PS3.5 also implies conformance to PS3.6.

- obtain legitimate right to a registered <org id> for creating UIDs (see PS3.5) if an implementation utilizes Privately Defined UIDs (i.e., UIDs not defined in the DICOM Standard);

- support the following communication mode:

- TCP/IP (See PS3.8),
