It prescribes a common implemenation of isdn. The itu specifications leave a lot of implementation specific settings. Instead of each operator providing their own isdn specification (or that of their switch supplier) equipment would interoperate all over Europe. The standards are published by ETSI. Isdn is a collection of signalling specifications and other telecom specifications. The basic signalling is specified in q.921 (lower level) and q.931 (call setup etc). Others include q.956 (Advice Of Charge) which in turn references about ten other ITU standards. The EuroISDN specifications based on these ITU specifications are ETSI ETS 300 403 01 for q.931 and several others and can be downloaded from www.etsi.org. Where these are based on an ITU specification only the differences are included in the ETSI specification. To work on isdn implementations, especially the more advanced features such as ROSE invokes etc you need a quite large set of ITU specifications, ETSI specifications and likely some from your pstn operator as well.
