Evidence priorities

  • Protection claim

    Define the object and the question, then identify the controlled record that answers it. Keep the basis, supporting evidence and limits with the resulting conclusion.

  • Product and variant identity

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

  • Test and certificate scope

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

  • Manufacturing-conformity evidence

    Connect the assessed design with the released production specification. Keep change decisions, supplier controls and traceability records available for subsequent review.

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.
