Initial Assessment. 1.1. The approval authority of a Contracting Party shall verify - before granting UN type approval - the existence of satisfactory arrangements and procedures for ensuring effective control so that wheeled vehicles, equipment or parts when in production conform to the approved type.
1.2. Guidance for conducting assessments may be found in the international standard ISO 19011:2011 - Guidelines for auditing management systems.
1.3. The requirement in paragraph 1.1 shall be verified to the satisfaction of the authority granting UN type approval. The approval authority granting UN type approval shall be satisfied with the initial assessment and the product conformity arrangements in section 2 below, taking into account as necessary one of the arrangements described in paragraphs 1.3.1 to 1.3.3, or a combination of those arrangements in full or in part as appropriate.
1.3.1. The actual initial assessment and/or verification of product conformity arrangements shall be carried out by the approval authority granting UN type approval or by a technical service designated to act on behalf of that approval authority.
1.3.1.1. When considering the extent of the initial assessment to be carried out, the approval authority may take account of available information relating to:
(a) The manufacturer's certification described in paragraph 1.3.3 below, which has not been qualified or recognized under that paragraph;
(b) In the case of UN type approval of equipment or parts, quality system assessments performed by vehicle manufacturer(s), in the premises of the manufacturer(s) of the equipment or parts, according to one or more of the industry sector specifications satisfying the requirements in the international standard ISO 9001:2008.
1.3.2. The actual initial assessment and/or verification of product conformity arrangements may also be carried out by the approval authority of another Contracting Party, or the technical service designated for this purpose by the latter approval authority, provided this Contracting Party applies at least the same UN Regulations upon which the UN type approval has been based.
1.3.2.1. In such a case, the approval authority of the other Contracting Party shall prepare a statement of compliance outlining the areas and production facilities it has covered as relevant to the product(s) to be type approved and to the UN Regulations according to which these products are to be type approved.

Initial Assessment. An assessment can be initiated either by the company or by a group of employees in a particular classification. If the company initiates a reclassification assessment, it will advise all employees in that classification it has done an initial assessment and that it intends to conduct a formal job evaluation review (see Step 2). If a group of employees wishes to initiate a job evaluation, they must send a letter to a Managing Director outlining in specific detail why they believe it is warranted. This letter must be signed by at least 50% of the total number of employees in that component. The only grounds for an evaluation (whether initiated by the company or requested by the employees) is that the job responsibilities have materially changed so that all of the following have substantially increased:
1. The knowledge (technical and process) required to do the job has become more complex. This does not just mean there is more to know but rather that there is more judgment and analysis required to determine what applies to a given situation.
2. Decision-making has become more complex. This means that the types of decisions staff have to make in doing most of their work require consideration of more variables and inter-relationships.
3. The consequences of error are materially greater. It also means that the consequences of making inappropriate decisions can lead to greater material consequences for the organization than in the past. When the employees request a job evaluation, the company will perform an initial assessment and will consult with a representative group of staff of the component in question to ensure the employees' perspective is fully understood. A union representative is entitled to sit in on this consultation meeting as an observer. This consultation process is not necessary if the company decides it has enough information and agrees that a formal job evaluation should take place as per Step 2. A written response will be provided to all members of the component in question, and the Union, outlining in detail the company's decision whether or not to proceed to a formal review. The decision of the company is final (i.e., it may not be grieved) and another initial assessment will not be conducted for at least eighteen months except where there appear to be special circumstances indicating the job may have materially changed during that period.
Initial Assessment. 1.1. The approval authority of a Contracting Party must verify - before granting type approval - the existence of satisfactory arrangements and procedures for ensuring effective control so that vehicles, equipment or parts when in production conform to the approved type.
1.2. The requirement in paragraph 1.1. must be verified to the satisfaction of the authority granting type approval but may also be verified, on behalf and at the request of the authority granting type approval, by the approval authority of another Contracting Party. In that case, the latter approval authority prepares a statement of compliance outlining the areas and production facilities it has covered as relevant to the product(s) to be type approved.
1.3. The approval authority must also accept the manufacturer’s registration to harmonized standard ISO 9002 (the scope of which covers the product(s) to be approved) or an equivalent accreditation standard as satisfying the requirements of paragraph 1.
1. The manufacturer must provide details of the registration and undertake to inform the approval authority of any revisions to its validity or scope.
1.4. On receiving an application from the authority of another Contracting Party the approval authority shall send forthwith the statement of compliance mentioned in the last sentence of paragraph 1.2. or advise that it is not in a position to provide such a statement.
Initial Assessment. A variety of assessment options will be available to help career services customers determine skill levels, interests, aptitudes, and abilities as they define/redefine career goals. Supportive service and other referral services may be identified as well.
Initial Assessment. Any Agency discovering a wildfire shall conduct an initial assessment determining values at risk and potential threats to each jurisdiction. The Discovering Agency will report the wildfire to the Jurisdictional Agency as soon as possible. The Agencies will agree which agency will take action on the wildfire based on access, location and available resources.
Initial Assessment. Offerors must provide, at a minimum, an initial no cost assessment. An Initial Assessment does not guarantee an Awarded Contractor a Procuring Agency contract. An Initial Assessment shall include a review of the current print environment providing recommendations for a rationalized print environment and provide an estimate of potential future savings. This no cost assessment may occur as a part of a Vendor’s proposal to offer Managed Print Services, or may occur after contract award. The initial assessment must contain the minimum requirements listed below must identify all software and all associated costs proposed:
a. Document Workflow Assessment;
b. Procuring Agency’s future needs versus current practices;
