IATF updates the ADP assessments periodically to align with published Sanctioned Interpretations (SIs). However, as this review occurs on a periodic basis, some SIs may not yet be applied. Sanctioned Interpretations are also not included in the built-in Standard Explorer. You may refer to a printed copy ("hardcopy") of IATF-published Sanctioned Interpretations and FAQs during all ADP assessments.


The following table explains which Sanctioned Interpretations have been applied to each ADP Assessment:
