Certifying project performance

HS Standard performance requirements are based on the definitions of good and best international industry practice. There are two levels of performance requirements: minimum requirements to achieve certification (equivalent to good practice) and advanced requirements for additional recognition (equivalent to best practice).

The performance requirements are presented criteria-by-criteria for each project life cycle stage.
