Formerly known as the ASWL for V6 and 2016, this has been renamed as Approved Standards List (ASL) for V7. It follows a similar Excel format to the International New Construction ASWL for V6 and 2016 versions. The V7 ASL document has been updated to align with the International New Construction V7 manual.
In Version 7, we’ve introduced several updates to improve the approved standards and weightings process:
- Pre-populated country sheets and weightings are now available for countries where most assessments have previously taken place. This will make it easier and quicker for assessors to begin assessments in those countries.
- The process has been streamlined by integrating the ‘Detailed Checks on Standards’ sheet directly into each individual country sheet.
- The ASL process remains consistent with that used in Version 6.
- The V7 weightings form (used for generating weightings in new countries) has been updated with new, relevant questions to align with the International New Construction Version 7 manual. However, the overall weightings process remains the same as for Version 6 and 2016.
- Looking ahead, we plan to transition the ASL process to an online format. Further details will be shared in upcoming assessor updates.
