[null,null,"This document is the spreadsheet tool that a product certification scheme must use to provide the GBCA with evidence of compliance with the Assessment Criteria.  It is intended to be used in conjunction with the following supporting documents which can be accessed on the Product Certification page of the GBCA website: \n\n Product Certification Project – Background and Outcomes;\n Criteria for Evaluating Product Certification Schemes;\n Assessment Process for Product Certification Schemes; and\n Assessment Tool Users Guide"]
[null,null,"Assessment Criteria (Criteria)\nThe Criteria provide detailed compliance requirements and guidance for the 22 Assessment Criteria contained in the Assessment Tool. For more information refer to Criteria for Evaluating Product Certification Schemes. \n\nAssessment Tool User Guide (User Guide)\nThe User Guide is a guidance document that provides detailed explanations of the sections and content of Part I and Part II in the Assessment Tool. It is intended to assist schemes in the task of completing the Assessment Tool. \nFor more information refer to Assessment Tool User Guide"]

[null,null,"Application for Assessment of Multiple Standards\nA scheme applying for recognition of multiple standards is only required to provide a submission against the Assessment Criteria for Part I (scheme criteria) one time. However, it must provide a separate submission against Part II (standard criteria) for each standard that it puts forward for assessment. Copies of three Part II worksheets are provided in the Assessment Tool for this purpose (Part II, Part II - copy 1, and Part II - copy 2)."]
[]
[null,null,"Information for Tiered Standards \nA tiered standard, meaning a standard that include provisions for different levels of compliance (e.g. silver, gold, platinum), will be considered as one standard for the purpose of assessment fees. However, separate Part II submissions must be provided to document the differences in criteria between each tier awarded within the standard. \n\nThree copies of the Part II worksheet are provided in the Assessment Tool for this purpose:\n Part II, Part II - copy 1 and Part II - copy 2\n Please enter the title of each tiered level in the 'Standard for Assessment' field in each Part II worksheet."]
[]
[null,null,"Assessment Results  \nThree levels of GBCA recognition under Part-II, in relevance to standards for fitout items, may be awarded to a product certification scheme according to the following corresponding compliance benchmark requirements:\n\nLevel C – A scheme categorised as ‘Level C’ shall: \n Achieve full points under the requirements of Part I; and\n Achieve a minimum score of 35 out of 100 under Part II. \n Products certified by a Level C-recognised scheme will achieve a product score of 45%* in the Material Calculators.\n\nLevel B – A scheme categorised as ‘Level B’ shall:\n Achieve full points under the requirements of Part I; and\n Achieve a minimum score of 45 out of 100 under Part II. \n Products certified by a Level B-recognised scheme will achieve a product score of 65%* in the Material Calculators.\n\nLevel A – A scheme categorised as ‘Level A’ shall:\n Achieve full points under the requirements of Part I; and\n Achieve a minimum score of 65 out of 100 under Part II. \n Products certified by a Level A-recognised scheme will achieve a product score of 100%* in the Material Calculators\n\n* Note: The percentage of available points for product scores within the Material Calculators attributed to products that are certified by Level C, Level B and Level A recognised schemes are subject to change during the transition period. The forthcoming public release and comment period for the new Material Calculator format will address this issue in more detail.\n\nUnder Part-III and IV, only one level of recognition is available, a tiered standard will be assessed based on the lowest enrty level.

Procedures","The scheme shall ensure that:\n• documented procedures are available to all interested parties on the standard development and certification process; and\n• procedures include a complaints resolution mechanism for interested parties that may object to the standard development process or outcomes of the developed or revised standard.\n"]
["14.  Harmonisation","• The scheme shall pursue harmonisation between standards by synchronising the requirements of other similar standards operated by the same scheme, or similar national and international standards. \n• The scheme shall document any differences between its standard(s) and other similar national or international standards and provide justification for these differences.\n"]
