Handling

In order for the product contents to be assessed it must be checked that the formal prerequisites were complied with.

The product is inspected; while doing so, the following check list (standard assessment specification for assessability) is processed:

Is the product easily readable and clearly organized?

Are all products, from which the product to be assessed stemmed, available?

Are the requirements the product is to be compared with completely documented, clear and intelligible?

Have the appropriate rules and standards been complied with?

The results have to be documented in the Assessment Report.
