Reading the previous sentence to this enumeration, it says including but not limited to one or multiple of the following BICEPS services. Mandatory in this list is the GET SERVICE, the others are not stated as "to be available at all times".

Ok, I see. Maybe we rephrase the whole paragraph by adding Localization Service to the list and justify the missing containment tree service and archive service with obsolescence. Something along the lines:
The CONTAINMENT TREE SERVICE and ARCHIVE SERVICE are missing from this list as the CONTAINMENT SERVICE is insufficiently defined and the ARCHIVE SERVICE is superseded by the History Service.

📑 Description
Removed the DESCRIPTION EVENT SERVICE from list of minimum required services following brief discussion of #451 at PaT#23.
Providers may still implement and offer this service, but aren't required to do so. Consumers that observe no DESCRIPTION EVENT SERVICE is offered may be confident that the provider won't be changing its medical device description at inconvenient times.
