A defined inquiry with stated sources, method, limitations and responsible publication authority.

Publication status

A publication must be read according to its stated purpose and status. Research, commentary, examples and guidance do not become certification requirements unless incorporated into an applicable controlled normative document through the authorized standards process.

Each publication record identifies its title, category, responsible publication authority, release date and official location. Corrections, replacements and withdrawals remain traceable to the affected publication record.

Citation and reuse

Citations should identify ICEQC, the complete publication title, version or date and the official iceqc.org location. The ICEQC name or logo must not be used to imply endorsement of a derivative work or a certification claim.
