				One of the basic documents of the Compliance Work Group is the OpenPOWER Architecture Compliance Definition 
 | 
			
		
		
	
		
			
				 | 
				 | 
			
			 | 
			 | 
			
				Work Group Specification.  The purpose of this document is to give a consistent approach to compliance under 
 | 
			
		
		
	
		
			
				 | 
				 | 
			
			 | 
			 | 
			
				the guidance of the Compliance Work Group. The current version of the document is based on the 
 | 
			
		
		
	
		
			
				 | 
				 | 
			
			 | 
			 | 
			
				POWER8™ systems and the POWER9™ systems and the Compliance Specifications that had been developed as of July 8, 2019. 
 | 
			
		
		
	
		
			
				 | 
				 | 
			
			 | 
			 | 
			
				It is expected that the document be updated this year by the Compliance Work Group to include the additional 
 | 
			
		
		
	
		
			
				 | 
				 | 
			
			 | 
			 | 
			
				compliance specifications that have been developed since 2019.
