Before using a resource
Check the product category, intended purpose, jurisdiction and version. A resource about one manufacturing process or technology may not apply to another without further assessment. Refer to the issuing authority for official requirements.
What the resource provides
Technical briefings explain concepts and questions. Practice resources support a defined review or discussion. Guidance identifies its basis and limitations. None of these descriptions, by itself, indicates that a product has been assessed or certified by IAHPM.
Review and maintenance
Resources identify their publication information and relevant sources. Corrections and replacement versions are linked through the publication record so that readers can follow changes.
Suggest a subject or correction
