THE RRS GLOSSARY
Why it matters to a project
References to IMAS should identify the relevant requirement and how it applies. A statement about standards is different from evidence of a person’s qualification or a contractor’s national authorisation.
PROJECT EXAMPLE
An overseas programme defines applicable standards within its tasking and contract documents.
A useful distinction
IMAS is not a single company accreditation or a universal training certificate.
Questions to ask when it appears in a scope
- What area, activity and decision does this term refer to?
- What evidence or output will the project team receive?
- What limitations need to be carried into the next stage?
