Review of Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Joint Australian/

New Zealand Standards are subject to periodic review and are kept up to date by the
issue of amendments or new editions as necessary. It is important therefore that
Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest edition, and any
amendments thereto.
Full details of all Joint Standards and related publications will be found in the
Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand Catalogue of Publications; this
information is supplemented each month by the magazines ‘The Australian Standard’
and ‘Standards New Zealand’, which subscribing members receive, and which give
details of new publications, new editions and amendments, and of withdrawn
Standards.
Suggestions for improvements to Joint Standards, addressed to the head office of either
Standards Australia or Standards New Zealand, are welcomed. Notification of any
inaccuracy or ambiguity found in a Joint Australian/New Zealand Standard should be
made without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action
taken.

PREFACE

This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee IT/1
on Information Systems— Interconnection. It is identical with and has been reproduced from
ISO/IEC 9834-2:1993, Information technology —Open Systems Interconnection— Procedures for the
operation of OSI Registration Authorities , Part 2: Registration procedures for OSI document types.
This Standard is issued as a Joint Standard under the terms of the Active Cooperation Agreement
between Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand.
The objective of this Standard is to provide users of the OSI model with specifications of the contents
of the register entries recording information about OSI document types and the assigning of an
unambiguous object identifier to OSI document type definitions.
This Standard is one of a series of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Standards which are currently
under development. Since OSI Standards are developmental, there may be some minor difficulties

encountered in their implementation. For this reason, Standards Australia will be providing, through
the OSI Help Desk, a service to coordinate and disseminate information concerning difficulties which
are identified in using this Standard.
Users of this Standard are advised by Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand, under
arrangements made with ISO and IEC, as well as certain other Standards organizations, that the number
of this Standard is not reproduced on each page; its identity is shown only on the cover and title pages.
For the purpose of this Standard, the source text should be modified as follows:
(a) Terminology The words ‘this Australian/New Zealand Standard’ should replace the words ‘this
International Standard’ wherever they appear.
(b) Decimal marker Substitute a full point for a comma where it appears as a decimal marker.
(c) References The references to international Standards should be replaced by references, where
appropriate, to the following Australian or Joint Australian/New Zealand Standards:
Reference to International Standard Australian or Joint
or other publication Australian/New Zealand Standard

Users of Standards are reminded that copyright subsists in all Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand publications and software.
Except where the Copyright Act allows and except where provided for below no publications or software produced by Standards Australia
or Standards New Zealand may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system in any form or transmitted by any means without prior permission
in writing from Standards Australia or Standards New Zealand. Permission may be conditional on an appropriate royalty payment. Australian
requests for permission and information on commercial software royalties should be directed to the head office of Standards Australia.
New Zealand requests should be directed to Standards New Zealand.
Up to 10 percent of the technical content pages of a Standard may be copied for use exclusively in-house by purchasers of the
Standard without payment of a royalty or advice to Standards Australia or Standards New Zealand.
Inclusion of copyright material in computer software programs is also permitted without royalty payment provided such programs are
used exclusively in-house by the creators of the programs.
Care should be taken to ensure that material used is from the current edition of the Standard and that it is updated whenever the Standard
is amended or revised. The number and date of the Standard should therefore be clearly identified.
The use of material in print form or in computer software programs to be used commercially, with or without payment, or in commercial
contracts is subject to the payment of a royalty. This policy may be varied by Standards Australia or Standards New Zealand at any time.

Registration procedures for OSI document types

1 Scope
1.1 This part of ISO/IEC 9834 specifies the contents of
register entries recording information about OSI document
types, and assigning an unambiguous name of ASN.1
type OBJECT IDENTIFIER to OSI document type
definitions.
1.2 This part of ISO/IEC 9834 specifies the procedures
for the operation of an International Registration Authority
for OSI document types.
NOTES
1 Additional document types may already be defined in Inter-
national Standards.
2 Any authority empowered under the rules of ISO/IEC 8824
to allocate object identifiers can maintain a register of document
types, identifying each type with an object identifier from the set
that they are empowered to allocate. The authority may adopt any
procedures it wishes for maintaining its register, provided that
each object identifier is allocated to at most one document type
definition, is not allocated to any other information object, and is
never re-used, as specified in ISO/IEC 8824.
1.3 The OSI document type names to which this docu-
ment refers are for use in fields of communication proto-
cols which need to identify the corresponding (partially-
defined or fully defined) semantics, syntax, and operations
specified in the register entries.
1.4 A name registered in accordance with this part of
ISO/IEC 9834 serves as an identification of the OSI docu-
ment types defined in the corresponding register entry.
Identification of a particular OSI document type from the
class of OSI document types defined in a particular
register entry is provided by parameters associated with
the register entry.
1.5 The presence of a register entry in the International
Register does not carry any implications of required
support for the OSI document types it defines in any
carrier-standard implementation.
NOTE — Nonetheless, within a register entry, requirements may
be expressed relating to implementations claiming to support the
entry.

The following standards contain provisions which, through
reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of
ISO/IEC 9834. At the time of publication, the editions indi-
cated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and
parties to agreements based on this part of ISO/IEC 9834
are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying
the most recent editions of the standards listed below.
Members of IEC and ISO maintain registers of currently
valid International Standards.

3 Definitions
For the purposes of this part of ISO/IEC 9834 the
following definitions apply.
3.1 OSI document: Information of a defined structural
form with a partially-defined or fully-defined semantics.
NOTES
1 Semantics are typically only partially-defined, as when some
or all fields in the defined structure are described as “character
strings with unspecified content”. Semantics would be fully-
defined if all possible values, and meanings, of all fields were
fully specified.
2 An OSI document can form the contents of all or part of a
file, but represents only the information content divorced from
aspects such as file naming, access rights, etc.
3.2 OSI document type: A class of OSI documents,
each of which has the same defined form and carries the
same fully-defined or partially-defined semantics.
