Evidence priorities

  • Substance and formulation identity

    Keep specifications, component identities and relevant supplier records connected to the assessed construction. Record substitutions and the basis for accepting them.

  • Sample preparation

    Show the differences between supplied variants and assessed specimens. Explain the coverage argument for each difference and identify questions that require further evidence.

  • Analytical method and detection context

    Retain the method, assessed configuration, conditions, results and decision together. A report title alone does not establish the scope or limits of the conclusion.

  • Material-change control

    Connect the released hardware and software versions with enabled functions, settings and the behaviour examined. Explain which changes can affect the original conclusion.

A complete file connects the product definition, requirements, assessment evidence and production changes. Read the standard's full requirements when designing the assessment; the index provides the official entry point.

Award evidence schedule for this product group →

The free IESQ Award requires the applicable baseline to be satisfied and a supported margin in a relevant core characteristic. A standard-reference match alone does not establish eligibility.

Legislation research routes

The frameworks associated with indexed references are discovery routes. The product's characteristics and intended use determine which legislation requires examination.
