konform vs entsprechend

corresponding / according

'entsprechend' and 'konform' can both mean that something agrees with rules, requirements, or opinions. 'entsprechend' is often used like 'gemäß' (according to / in accordance with): you act 'entsprechend einer Regel oder Anweisung' (according to a rule or instruction). 'konform' more often describes the state of something being in line with a standard or rule. In the expression 'mit etwas konform gehen' (to agree with something), it is especially about agreement or having the same opinion. Learners may confuse the words because both express agreement or conformity. 'entsprechend' works well for actions based on requirements; 'konform' works well for rules, standards, and opinions.
