Specifications

PCI-SIG specifications define standards driving the industry-wide compatibility of peripheral component interconnects. Members regularly review them, providing commentary and change requests when necessary. These requests are considered by technical workgroups and applied as appropriate, resulting in collaboratively devised specifications benefiting millions of platforms and add-in devices.

Engineering Change Request Process
PCI-SIG members may submit requests to change specifications here. The Engineering Change Request process and form can be found here
