MFCC ensures that our key Policies, Procedures and Standards are freely available and downloadable to any interested parties and printed copies of those documents will be available upon request at a price that covers no more than administrative costs. Additionally we welcome comments and feedback, not only through more formal scheduled consultation processes and activities, but at anytime.

Furthermore, much of MFCC's work is anchored around technical working documentation that include our Standards (MTLAS and MFCS), and other supporting system documents.

MFCC's Standards and policies aim to:

• define clear requirements for entities that need to comply with requirements and for Certification Bodies that audit these requirements;
• be uniform of structure, of style and terminology;
• be consistent.

MFCC has reached to a point when our key Policies, Procedures and Standards were needed to be reviewed and revised due to its timely revision process, MFCC has revised 8 system documents and created 6 new system documents.

And again the older version of our key Policies, Procedures and Standards are freely available upon request.

MFCC also produces a range of other resources that we make available to interested parties. Please visit the MFCC Resource Centre.
