## 4.8 Product functions
<mark>Editor’s Note: Product functions should be clearly defined and granular enough to inform decision-making regarding capability-based applicability of related security controls. The recommended structure for doing this is a hierarchical functional decomposition, wherein each larger functional capability is broken down into its constituent parts. This enables manufacturers to easily derive whether their product supports parts of or all of a specific function.</mark>
<mark>Editor’s Note: If the product category consists of multiple distinct product types, the functions of each product type should be listed separately, possibly following an overall function list up with a mapping to product types.</mark>
<mark>Editor’s Note: Where a product contributes to the delivery of services as part of a system, these services do not constitute functionalities of the product. Identify the product’s role in the delivery of services.</mark>
<mark>Editor’s Note: Configuration functionality is equally in scope.</mark>
## 4.8 Product Architecture
<mark>Editor’s Note: This clause shall depict reference architectural patterns of products in this category, focusing on the architecture of the product itself and not the product as part of its operational environment or a larger ecosystem. The goal is to clearly indicate components, RDPS and their inter-relationships.</mark>
<mark>Editor’s Note: If the product category consists of multiple distinct product types, the reference architecture for each product type shall be drawn up separately for maximum clarity.</mark>
<mark>Editor’s Note: The diagram(s) shall be clearly labeled and accompanied by a short description of the main flows and components.</mark>
## 4.8 Operational Environment
<mark>Editor’s Note: This clause should describe the conditions under which products of a particular type in the category are used as well as detailing possible systems in which they are integrated, including network context, integration environment, and physical surroundings, including the external conditions affecting RDPS.</mark>
<mark>Editor’s Note: Human factors of the operational environment are to be discussed in other clauses.</mark>
The technical requirements of the present document apply to the operational and environmental profiles of a Network Managment System in accordance with its intended use.
