Review Practice and Guidance 2017

Review Practice Guidance

The review practice guidance (RPG) 2018 aims to improve consistency among the individual biennial report (BR) and national communication (NC) reviews during a review cycle and across the review cycles. The RPG 2018 does not aim to cover an exhaustive list of questions or concerns raised by the expert review teams (ERTs) during the reviews, but rather focuses on the difficulties encountered in reviews, as observed by the review coordinators and the ERTs, and on the practises most commonly applied in such cases by the ERTs.
