The ACM updated its definitions to align with others, so the description on this page is out of date.

Background

The NISO Taxonomy, Definitions, and Recognition Badging Scheme Standing Committee (of which I was a member and co-chair) sent a letter to the ACM Publications Board in July 2019. After long deliberations, ACM decided to update its definitions. You can find the following language in an the definitions page:

As a result of discussions with the National Information Standards Organization (NISO), it was recommended that ACM harmonize its terminology and definitions with those used in the broader scientific research community, and ACM agreed with NISO’s recommendation to swap the terms “reproducibility” and “replication” with the existing definitions used by ACM as part of its artifact review and badging initiative. ACM took action to update all prior badging to ensure consistency.

Let me know if I can provide any additional materials to help with this issue.
