conformant

Meeting the standard

Conformant means meeting established standards, specifications, or requirements.

The term appears most often in technical contexts—software, engineering, regulatory compliance—where systems or products must adhere to defined criteria: The code is fully conformant with W3C standards.

Conformant overlaps with compliant but tends toward technical rather than legal or behavioral contexts.
