Inspection documentation

We have a range of documents providing detailed guidance about how we carry out our inspections.  

Our rules and guidance assist inspectors to make their judgement against our standards.  

Our guidance manuals provide an overview and details of all stages of inspections, including what happens before, during, and after inspections, and how we report our findings. 

Our glossaries explain the terms and abbreviations used in our reports.
