21.801
4.2 Homogeneity
Uniformity of structure, of style and of terminology shall be maintained not only within each 3GPP TS or 3GPP TR, but also within a series of associated 3GPP TSs or 3GPP TRs. The structure of associated 3GPP TSs or 3GPP TRs and the numbering of their clauses shall, as far as possible, be identical. Analogous wording sh...

4.4 Equivalence of official language versions
3GPP TSs or 3GPP TRs shall be in the English language only.
f193e84844076b4f7262087f58142986
21.801
4.5 Fitness for implementation as a national, regional or international standard
The content of a 3GPP TS or 3GPP TR shall be drawn up in such a way as to facilitate its direct application and its adoption without change as a national, regional or international standard.

21.900
4.10.1.0 General
The concept of Releases was introduced in clause 4.0B. A given specification may simultaneously exist in several versions, each corresponding to a different Release. In principle, a Release of the specification can be identified as consisting of all those specifications with a "major" version field of a given value.

21.900
4.10.1.1 With no technical changes compared to the previous Release
A given Release consists of a set of specifications having a common "major" version field; therefore, for the set of specifications to be complete, a new specification needs to be produced even if its provisions are identical with those of the previous Release's version. The creation of such a specification shall be de...

6.3.1 General
An early task when elaborating a Work Item is to identify the tasks related to the WI and to allocate them to the TSGs and TSG Sub-Groups. In most cases the tasks from a WI can be split immediately into the following areas: - Service requirements - System/Architectural requirements and implications - Protocol speci...

6.4.2 Choice of deliverables
The SI will be realized as a new Technical Report ("feasibility study report"). The WI will be realized as new specifications and/or amendments to existing specifications; the exact structure lies with the individual TSG Sub-Groups and the TSG. Typically, a new feature may result in at least three completely new speci...

6.4.3.2 Technical realization specifications
These cover both the overall architectural and interface specific detailed specifications. The architectural implications and requirements need to be identified at a very early stage, for the purpose of knowing which parts of the standard (and hence of the system) are affected by a WI, and for the purpose of supporting...

6.4.5 Late completion
If a Feature cannot be completed by the freeze date for a Release, two options are available: 1) If the functionality covered by the late-running work item is considered by the TSG not to be vital to the overall Feature, it may be abandoned, or form part of a later Release. It may be necessary to raise CRs to remove m...
