Practice Standards
Define expected professional or organizational practices and the evidence needed to demonstrate them.
ICIES Standards
Standards designed to be used, reviewed and verified.
ICIES standards are private frameworks. Each published standard should identify its scope, terminology, requirements, evidence expectations, review method and revision status.
Quality & Validation Criteria
Create review criteria for programs, credentials, systems and institutional processes.
Governance Frameworks
Structure responsibilities, review cycles, conflicts controls, records and revision mechanisms.
Standards development principle
A committee, public consultation, expert panel or external endorsement is referenced only when it actually occurred and can be documented. Draft or proposed standards should be labeled accordingly.
