Notes
Completed specifications are those for which at least one revision has been submitted to the Executive Membership and adopted. In a few cases multiple revisions have been completed, resulting in the listing of obsolete revisions.

Completed PICMG® specifications are distributed to all PICMG members as a benefit of membership, and any manufacturer may make claims of compliance. PICMG does not endorse these claims, or assume responsibility for any failure to meet claims of compliance.

Specifications under development are those for which a subcommittee has been, or is in the process of being, formed. In some cases the summary indicates that subsequent revisions of completed specifications are under development. In other cases, where no completed specification is shown the document under development is the first on that subject.

Where available, links are provided from specification descriptions to short form versions of specifications. Short form specifications are provided for information only – do not attempt to design from these documents. The short form documents are subsets of their respective specifications. For complete guidelines on designs and implementations, the full specifications are required.

Warning!

Draft specifications and ECR’s are under the control of the subcommittee, if active. It is PICMG’s policy to prohibit claims of compliance with respect to a specification under development. Any such claims must be understood as applying to a draft, which is subject to change.
