Review an accreditation standard
In this article:
Learn how to complete a review task for an accreditation standard in Logiqc, so the standard can move forward for approval or stay with you while further work is done.
In the Review stage you carry out the task set by the item manager, then either complete the review or record a progress note.
A review task is created in the Manage stage, when the item manager delegates the review of a standard to you. The task instructions tell you what to check, which is usually whether the standard is still linked to the right evidence and describes how your organisation meets the requirement.
Your comments are relayed to the item manager when the review returns to the Manage stage.
Q: What happens if I make a progress note instead of completing the review?
A: The task stays with you in the Review stage. You can make a progress note as many times as you need. The standard only moves on when you select Complete review, which can be done once.
Q: Where do my comments appear?
A: Reviewer comments, additional comments, and progress notes all appear in the Action history, keeping the item manager and others informed.
Q: What does Go to standard do?
A: It opens the Accreditation details page, where you can review the evidence linked to each requirement and the statement in How the requirements are met.

Use this when you have started the review but are not ready to complete it. The note is recorded and the task stays with you in the Review stage.
Complete review presents the following fields:
- Reviewer comments: add details of the action you took. These are relayed to the item manager and appear in the Action history.
