Document Control

Version and status determine which policy applies.

Each policy identifies its document number, responsible office, approving body, version, effective date, status and change history. Replaced and withdrawn versions remain distinguishable from current requirements.

Public Record

Only approved versions state IAARM requirements.

The public document record distinguishes current, superseded and withdrawn instruments. Descriptive website text does not replace an approved policy, standard, program rule or other governing instrument.
