A DICOM AE that claims conformance to any of the Non-Patient Object Storage SOP Classes as an SCU shall be capable of sending a SOP Instance that meets the requirements of the related IOD. The Service shall be invoked by the SCU through the use of the DIMSE C-STORE request used in conjunction with the SOP Class.

The SCU shall recognize the status of the C-STORE service and take appropriate action based on the success or failure of the service. The Non-Patient Object Storage Service places no further requirements on what the SCU shall do other than that it shall distinguish between successful and failed C-STORE responses. This behavior shall be documented as part of the Conformance Statement.
