B.3 Keeping Standards up-to-dateStandards are living documents that reflect progress in principles, practice, methodsand science. To maintain their currency, all standards are periodically reviewed (at aminimum every five years) and where warranted new editions are published. Betweeneditions, amendments may be issued. Standards may also be withdrawn. It is importantthat readers assure themselves they are using the current standard, which shouldinclude any amendments which may have been published since the standard firstappeared.Detailed information on The AA1000 Series of standards can be found on theAccountAbility web site: www.accountability21.net/aa1000seriesWe welcome suggestions for improvement of our standards and encourage readers tonotify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or ambiguities. Please address anycomments to the Head of Standards at AccountAbility.31 September, 2009
