 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +A Conformance Criterion establishes an assessable condition used to determine whether an identified subject satisfies an applicable
 +[[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:requirement|Requirement]]
 +and therefore achieves
 +[[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance|Conformance]].
 +
 +A Conformance Criterion translates a normative Requirement into an observable and assessable condition without changing the meaning or scope of the Requirement.
 +
 +A Conformance Criterion provides the basis for evaluating
 +[[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]]
 +and supports objective, repeatable, and comparable conformance assessments.
 +
 +A Conformance Criterion forms part of a
 +[[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance_model|Conformance Model]].
 +
 +===== Definition =====
 +
 +//assessable condition used to determine satisfaction of a specified requirement//
 +
 +===== Source =====
 +
 +  * [[private:07-dido-te:99-annexes:annex-b-references:dte-006|[DTE6]]], Section 6.4.6, //Implementation Conformance Model//
 +
 +===== Note =====
 +
 +A Conformance Criterion differs from a
 +[[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:requirement|Requirement]].
 +
 +A Requirement states an obligation.
 +
 +A Conformance Criterion establishes the assessable condition used to determine whether the obligation has been satisfied.
 +
 +A Conformance Criterion also differs from a
 +[[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance_point|Conformance Point]].
 +
 +A Conformance Criterion defines what an evaluator assesses.
 +
 +A Conformance Point identifies where an evaluator performs or observes the assessment.
 +
 +A Conformance Criterion should not introduce an obligation that does not exist in the governing Requirement.
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +For a Requirement stating that a DIDO-TE implementation preserves
 +[[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]],
 +the associated Conformance Criterion identifies the observable condition used to determine whether the required Evidence has been preserved.
