Minimum standards – Scope out

Any BREEAM Infrastructure criteria agreed for ‘scope out’ within an assessment are removed from the assessment in their entirety. This applies to criteria marked as a ‘minimum standard’. When seeking to achieve an Outstanding rating, where one or more of the ‘minimum standard’ criteria are scoped out, these no longer contribute to achieving an Outstanding rating.

For example, if criterion 7.2.2 is agreed for ‘scope out’, the minimum standard will be based on achieving a score greater than 90% and meeting criteria 2.1.2, 2.1.3, 4.4.1 and 7.4.2.
