The Commission also makes available a reference copy of the Comprehensive Standards and Criteria for Accreditation (“Comprehensive Standards”) for the reading convenience of the general public. The individual Introduction, Standards and Revision History documents posted on the Commission’s website represent the official publication of the Comprehensive Standards. While the Commission makes suitable effort to assure that the reference copy reflects the contents of the official publication, the reference copy is not warranted as such.
