conformance
Official certification from a standards body that a driver genuinely meets the specification.
For a graphics API like Vulkan, conformance is the formal stamp — granted by Khronos after passing an official test suite under strict rules — that a driver correctly implements the spec. It is a specific legal and technical claim, not the same as merely passing some tests locally. Only certified implementations may make it.
