# 6 Conformance

The CDA specification section 1.3 provides conformance requirements for Document Originators and Document Recipients.

### Note

1. Consolidated CDA Implementation Guide Section 2.8 includes recommended best practices for Document Recipients displaying CDA documents.

2. There may be other CDA-related standards to which an application may claim conformance. For example, IHE Patient Care Coordination Technical Framework specifies a Document Consumer actor with four options for conformance.

A CDA document instance in accordance with this Standard asserts its conformance to a template by inclusion of the specified templateID elements in the document, sections, and entries.
