Standard age assurance

What the clause says

Standard assurance sits in the middle of the scale. The public working draft on benchmarking gives it an external benchmark of at least ninety-nine per cent classification accuracy.

What it supplies to a comparison

A standard-level claim needs a larger and better controlled test than a basic one. The comparison should show the sample size and the class balance that make the figure meaningful.

Evidence to keep

• The test plan showing the sample size and recruitment method.
• The measured rate with its confidence interval.

What the evidence looks like

For 6.1.3, the first artefact is The test plan showing the sample size and recruitment method.. The second is The measured rate with its confidence interval.. If 6.1.3 has no first artefact, the practice is unproven at 6.1.3, and the report should record the absence rather than infer the practice from a policy.

Questions for the provider

1. Does the sample support a claim at this level?
2. Which sub-groups fall below the overall figure?

How it connects to the draft

Standard age assurance belongs to 6 indicators of confidence, and it gives the analysis one fixed point: A standard-level claim needs a larger and better controlled test than a basic one. The comparison should show the sample size and the class balance th. A comparison that cannot place a result against 6.1.3 is measuring something the framework has not defined, and the report should say so.

In the register, 6.1.3 is read beside the unit that tests it, and where it sets an objective rather than a number, that unit turns the objective into a question and an evidence artefact.
