===== Discussion =====

A Conformance Determination records the outcome of a
[[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance_assessment|Conformance Assessment]].

The determination identifies whether the assessed subject satisfies the applicable
[[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 Determination is based on the applicable
[[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance_criterion|Conformance Criteria]],
[[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance_point|Conformance Points]],
and supporting
[[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]]
defined by the applicable
[[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance_model|Conformance Model]].

===== Note =====

A Conformance Determination differs from a
[[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance_claim|Conformance Claim]].

A Conformance Claim records what a party asserts.

A Conformance Determination records the outcome reached after evaluating the identified subject against the applicable Requirements and Conformance Criteria.
