Stable section ID: S05-CON-014-SECTION-38 · 25 content blocks
Each verifiable Rule shall define the criteria used to determine whether the evidence demonstrates conformance.
Acceptance criteria shall be:
- Specific.
- Measurable where practical.
- Connected to the Rule statement.
- Appropriate to the verification method.
- Defined before evaluation.
- Proportionate to risk.
- Resistant to selective interpretation.
Criteria may include:
- Numerical thresholds.
- Tolerance ranges.
- Pass/fail conditions.
- Required states.
- Evidence completeness.
- Confidence levels.
- Approved professional judgment.
- Absence of specified defects.
- Successful completion of defined sequences.
- Compatibility with a declared profile.
- Required independent approval.
- Borderline, incomplete, or conflicting evidence shall not automatically be rounded or interpreted as passing.
Conditional acceptance may be permitted when remaining limitations, monitoring, restrictions, corrective actions, and expiration are formally defined.
Acceptance of one Rule shall not imply satisfaction of related Rules unless the relationship is explicitly established.
Any change to acceptance criteria that alters the normative threshold shall pass through controlled Rule revision.
