Section 13 Final evaluation

13.1 Module requirements

13.1.1 The purpose of this module is for the certification body to confirm that their evaluations required for issue of the project certificate have been completed, and to compile a final evaluation report.

13.1.2 The final evaluation report should be prepared once the module conformity statements and supporting evaluation reports have been reviewed, and should comprise:

a summary of the conformity statements and conclusions for completed modules;
a description of and conclusion about whether the documentation (evaluation reports, conformity statements and conclusions) is complete and meets the requirements of the certification scheme;
a description of and conclusion about how any outstanding items and/or conditions have been resolved;
a list of all documentation used as supporting information during the module evaluations and surveillance; and
any outstanding certification issues and/or conditions that need to be carried to the operation and maintenance phase of the project.

13.2 Guidance on input requirements

13.2.1 No additional documents are required for this evaluation.

13.3 Evaluation methodology

13.3.1 LR will review the module conformity statements and supporting evaluation reports to confirm that all mandatory modules, plus the optional modules selected by the applicant, have been completed in accordance with the selected certification scheme.

13.3.2 Special attention will be paid to interfaces between modules (e.g. for consistency of assumption and references), interfaces between certification bodies, if applicable, and to any outstanding issues recorded in the conformity statements, to consider whether they need to be addressed before issue of the project certificate.

13.3.3 Attention will also be paid to any changes (e.g. design changes or updates to the WT type certification) that may have been made since issue of the respective conformity statements and supporting evaluation reports, and their potential impact on issue of the project certificate. Elements of the certification scope (e.g. parts of the affected modules) may need to be re-evaluated.

13.3.4 If all documentation is found to be satisfactory, then a project certificate will be issued.
