Definition
Formal recognition by Roch that a residence met the standard's requirements at assessment, not a quality rating or a ranking.
Part of the Roch Dog Residence Standard (RDRS-01) · Published by Roch Dog
Formal recognition, granted only by Roch or a Roch-licensed assessor following assessment, that a residence met the standard's requirements at the time of assessment.
It attests conformance with a baseline definitional standard. It is not a quality rating, a ranking, or a guarantee of suitability for any individual dog.
Roch Interpretation
Certification confirms a residence met the baseline requirements when it was assessed. It is a definitional pass, not a star rating, a league position, or a promise about any one dog.
Examples
Compliant
A residence assessed against every requirement is certified as Roch Dog Residence Certified.
Not compliant
A provider markets its certification as a 'five-star' quality ranking, which certification is not.
