Assessment documents

The RvA has two different types of assessment documents: specific accreditation protocols, explanatory/informative documents. Below is a list of all relevant documents.

Specific accreditation protocols

These documents contain brief descriptions for specific areas of accreditation. They serve as a practical supplement to policy rule BR002. Where necessary, an SAP provides an explanation of the accreditation requirements. SAPs are mandatory documents.
