Documentation on Assurance is split between this {&&AP} and the {&&AH}. The policy is controlled by {&&CCS} under {&&PoP} policy document regime. Because Assurance is an active area, much of the practice is handed over to the {&&AH}, which is not a controlled policy document, and can more easily respond to experience and circumstances.

The primary goal of the Assurance Statement is for the express purpose of certificates to meet the needs of the Relying Party Statement, which latter is found in the {&CPS}.

When a certificate is issued, some of the Assurance Statement may be incorporated, e.g. Name. Other parts may be implied, e.g. Membership, exact account and status. They all are part of the Relying Party Statement. In short, this means that other Members of the Community may rely on the information verified by Assurance and found in the certificate.
