Which statement best describes SPS verification expectations for standards per task?

• A. IPP should verify one or more standards each time
• B. IPP should verify all eleven standards each time
• C. IPP should verify none of the standards
• D. IPP should verify exactly five standards each time

Answer: (A)

SPS verification focuses on showing compliance with the standards that apply to a given task. The correct approach is to verify one or more standards every time because each task has its own scope and may be governed by multiple standards. You provide evidence for the standards that apply, at least one, to demonstrate conformance. If no standards were verified, there would be no evidence of compliance for that task. Likewise, there isn’t a fixed number you must verify (like exactly five); you verify the standards that are relevant to the task, which can be one or more.
