 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +A Conformance Point is an objectively identifiable location at which an evaluator inspects or evaluates 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 Point supports repeatable evaluation by linking a Requirement to an observable architectural location, [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:artifact|Artifact]], behaviour, interface, boundary, or [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]] source.
 +
 +A Conformance Point forms part of a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance_model|Conformance Model]].
 +
 +A Conformance Point differs from a design feature. A design feature describes a characteristic of an implementation. A Conformance Point identifies where an evaluator performs or observes an assessment.
 +
 +===== Definition =====
 +
 +//objectively identifiable location at which conformance with a specified requirement is inspected or evaluated//
 +
 +===== Source =====
 +
 +  * [[private:07-dido-te:99-annexes:annex-b-references:dte-006|[DTE6]]], Section 6.4.6, //Implementation Conformance Model//
 +
 +===== Note =====
 +
 +A Conformance Point provides a stable location for evaluating Conformance.
 +
 +A Conformance Point identifies where an evaluation occurs.
 +
 +A [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance_criterion|Conformance Criterion]] identifies the assessable condition used during that evaluation.
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +An [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:attachment_point|Attachment Point]] at which a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:s:structured_information_artifact|Structured Information Artifact]] enters a governed processing service is a Conformance Point when the applicable [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:reference_architecture|Reference Architecture]] requires validation before acceptance.
