It isn't though. The Carto rendering style shown on openstreetmap.org is as close as we get to having a reference implementation. Osmand, while a good product, is much further removed from the OSM community.

Without getting into how official a product OSMAnd can be considered, I think it’s worth pointing out that Carto has limitations that OSMAnd improves on. Due to OSMAnd’s configurable vector drawing, it is possible to make the map show road surfaces or whether roads are lit. These are features missing from official OSM.org, which of course serves as little more than a tech demo.
