The Workflow Management Coalition is in the process of establishing an external Conformance Test Center. This will provide independent verification of the conformance of vendors’ products to the WfMC Interface Specifications. Members interested in participating in working out the details of the certification scripts should join the Conformance Forum.
Conformance Forum
| Join our discussion of technical and organizational issues in our web-based forum at www.workflow-research.de/Forums. |
In the meanwhile, the table below shows the status of vendor conformance indicated by the vendor’s own statements about how this conformance has been achieved.

Conformance Document
The discussion of technical and organizational issues relating to standards conformance has been moved to a web-based forum, kindly hosted by Dr. Michael Zur Muehlen. Access the forum at www.workflow-research.de/Forums. Once you register for the forum, send an email to mzurmuehlen@stevens.edu and Michael will immediately add you to the group WfMC Members, which gives you full access right to the members-only discussion groups.
The work of the Coalition at this point is focused on the definition of standards rather than widespread testing of products claiming conformance. The conformance guidelines are still in progress, thus at this time, no products have been demonstrated to meet all the baseline functionality of the specification. The Coalition will maintain a register of products that have demonstrated conformance to the satisfaction of the Workflow Management Coalition.
Please contact the WfMC Secretariat if you wish to add information on products that claim conformance.
