<h2>0. Preliminaries</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
This sub-policy describes how Organisation Assurers ("OAs") conduct assurances on German organisations.

<h2>1. Purpose</h2>

|
|
|
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
|
|
|
a. This sub-policy is applicable for the assurance of German organisations only.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
b. This sub-policy is an implementation of the OAP.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
c. In the below, where the Assurance Officer (AO) is referred to, this includes his local delegate.

|
|
|
|
|
d. Extracts from the official register should not be older than 4 weeks.<br>

|
|
e. The AO maintains a list of which specific documents and tests can be acceptable for the certain types

|
|
of organisations.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
f. The OA can ask for additional documents if needed to validate required information for the assurance action.
