Document Accuracy & Version Control
Where a publication or report is issued as a formal IABCET document, stakeholders should review the applicable version, publication date, effective date, approval information, or other identifying information where provided.
Important: For accreditation requirements, the current applicable standards, criteria, guidelines, and procedures should always take precedence over older publications, historical materials, or archived documents.
Historical & Archived Materials
Older publications and reports may provide useful historical context but should not automatically be treated as current accreditation requirements. Where historical documents are made available, they should be identified as archived, historical, or superseded materials where appropriate.
