In order to ensure consideration of all relevant assessment criteria, a validation protocol is used. The protocol shows, in a transparent manner, criteria and requirements, means of validation and the results from pre-validating the identified criteria. The validation protocol reflects the generic GS requirements each GS project has to meet as well as project specific issues as applicable. The validation protocol serves the following purposes: - It organises, details and clarifies the requirements that a GS project is expected to meet; - It ensures a transparent validation process where the validating entity will document how a particular requirement has been validated and the result of the determination. The validation protocol as described in Figure 1.
