3 Scope
The scope of the Society's approval of service supplier will, as a minimum, include the following activities:
— review of documentation
— verification of competence and control needed to perform the service
— verification of equipment and facilities for the service
— assessment of the supplier and any servicing stations and subcontractors
— evaluation of how the service will be reported
— witnessing of a practical demonstration of the performance of the service including satisfactory reporting
— issuance of approval of service supplier certificate.
4 Application
