Thanks for the contribution Stephen.

Stephen's analysis hits the spot; nonetheless, the actual words of the changes need to be carefully reviewed and addressed as needed.

Peter: Certainly true. Accreditation bodies will be looking carefully at the wording and will interpret with practical implementation in mind. And I'm sure ILAC and EA will be working to harmonise interpretation across their members. A first impression isn't the last word!
