| The applicable criteria address completeness, data types, formats, units, permitted ranges, relationships, constraints, source authority, [[private:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:configuration_precedence|Configuration Precedence]], security controls, [[private:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:n:node_binding|Node Bindings]], and compatibility with the applicable Node Definition, Node Implementation, environment, and operating state. | The applicable criteria address completeness, data types, formats, units, permitted ranges, relationships, constraints, source authority, [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:configuration_precedence|Configuration Precedence]], security controls, [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:n:node_binding|Node Bindings]], and compatibility with the applicable Node Definition, Node Implementation, environment, and operating state. |

| Configuration Validation distinguishes among the intended configuration, the values produced by [[private:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:configuration_resolution|Configuration Resolution]], and the configuration established through [[private:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:configuration_application|Configuration Application]]. Comparison among these states identifies omissions, substitutions, conflicts, drift, application failures, and unauthorised changes. | Configuration Validation distinguishes among the intended configuration, the values produced by [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:configuration_resolution|Configuration Resolution]], and the configuration established through [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:configuration_application|Configuration Application]].

| Configuration Validation remains distinct from Test Execution. Configuration Validation evaluates configuration against configuration criteria. [[private:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_execution|Test Execution]] executes a Test Definition to evaluate a Test Object against specified test criteria. | Configuration Validation remains distinct from Test Execution.

| A successful validation result establishes conformity with the specified configuration criteria. It does not independently establish the correctness, security, or suitability of the Node for every operational purpose. | A successful validation result establishes conformity with the specified configuration criteria.
