Part of the Roch Dog Residence Standard (RDRS-01) · Published by Roch Dog
Roch Interpretation
Anyone can assess a residence against the criteria, but only an assessment by Roch or a licensed assessor can lead to certification. A self-check is not certification.
Examples
Compliant
A Roch-licensed assessor evaluates a building against every requirement before any certification is granted.
Not compliant
A provider runs its own internal check and claims that self-assessment amounts to certification.
