SHP Platform Admission Record Specification v1.0
This specification defines the normative mechanism by which a platform becomes formally supported by the Structured Hardening Project.

Platform support is established only by an applicable Active Platform Admission Record.
The presence of platform specifications, control catalogues, verification material, website pages, historical implementation or testing does not independently establish platform support.

Publication boundary
Publication of a Platform Admission Record establishes public visibility of its governed state.
Only an Active record whose admission state is supported establishes current SHP platform support.
Platform support does not, by itself, assert that production certification signing or certification-service delivery is operational.
