How to Use the ICxA Standards
Select how you are entering the project. ICxA shows you the practical path from requirements to evidence to decision.
Where Are You Entering?
Choose the pathway that best matches your role. The roadmap below will adapt to show the simplest way to apply the standards.
01
Lender/Insurer
Evaluate investment, drawdown, completion and transition risk.
02
Project Owner
Set up governance, assurance and evidence requirements.
03
Commissioning
Plan, verify, test and prove system readiness.
04
Operational Readiness
Prove the organization is ready to operate the asset.
Capital Provider Roadmap
Use the standards to define what evidence must exist before investment, drawdown, completion or transition decisions are made.
How ICxA Makes The Standards Easier To Use
Start with the decision, not the clause.
- What are you trying to approve, authorize or prove?
- What evidence must exist before that decision is made?
- Who is responsible for producing and independently assessing it?
Then use the right ICxA resource.
- Implementation roadmap
- Applicable standards and requirements
- Templates, checklists and evidence records
- Body of Knowledge guidance and practical examples
