4 Compliance

Compliance to the associated Specification is achieved by the demonstration of accurate conversion to the required long-term format.

Accurate conversion means that the resulting file accurately reflects what the original creator of the record saw when they viewed the record. At a minimum the conversion should result in a file that contains the same information and appearance as if the record was printed from the originating application.

It is only necessary to demonstrate conversion to appropriate formats. For example, if a system only holds compliant TIFF images, the system will be compliant even though it cannot convert the TIFF images to text or to PDF.
