Our Approach to Standards Summaries
What a summary is for
- Explaining which standard applies to which situation.
- Translating clauses into actions a project team can check.
- Pointing to the parts that require specialist judgement.
What a summary is not
| Not | Because |
|---|---|
| A substitute for the standard | The published text governs |
| A compliance conclusion | That requires assessment of your machine |
| Legal advice | Outside our competence |
How to read them
Use the summary to prepare questions, then verify against the official text and your compliance adviser. Each summary names the edition it refers to, so you can check whether it is still current.
