====== Conformance Claim ====== [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:start|Go up to Terms and Definitions]] ===== Discussion ===== A Conformance Claim is an assertion that an identified subject satisfies specified [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:requirement|Requirements]] and therefore achieves [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance|Conformance]]. A Conformance Claim identifies the subject of the assertion and the specification, profile, requirement set, or other normative basis against which Conformance is claimed. A Conformance Claim does not, by itself, demonstrate Conformance. Supporting [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]] and an applicable assessment establish the basis for accepting or rejecting the claim. A Conformance Claim forms part of a [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance_model|Conformance Model]] and provides an explicit statement of the claimed Conformance status of the identified subject. ===== Definition ===== //assertion that an identified subject satisfies specified requirements// ===== Source ===== * [[dido:03-dido-te:99-annexes:annex-b-references:dte-006|[DTE6]]], Section 6.4.6, //Implementation Conformance Model// ===== Note ===== A Conformance Claim differs from a Conformance determination. A Conformance Claim records what a party asserts. A Conformance determination records the result of an assessment based on applicable Requirements, Conformance Criteria, and supporting Evidence. A Conformance Claim should identify the applicable specification, version, profile, or requirement set whenever those distinctions affect the scope of the claim. ===== Example ===== A supplier states that a DIDO-TE implementation conforms to the mandatory Requirements of a specified DIDO-TE profile. ---- © 2026 Dido Solutions, Inc. and Jackrabbit Consulting, Inc.
