All 30 policies published, sequentially numbered (
ASF-POL-17–46, no gaps), registered in the Public Standards Register, and cross-linked to each other and to ASF-MON-STD-v1 where they govern related ground. This is the complete organisational governance documentation set, current as of October 2026 — the baseline for ISQua EEA Organisation Accreditation review and for due diligence by US, EU, UN and French government donors alike.

Accounting against the 47-policy PHIG source manual: 33 ASF-POL pages above. The remaining ground is covered without a 1:1 page count — 13 PHIG topics are consolidated into broader ASF policies (e.g. Procurement, Cost Allocation, Asset Management, Tax and Cash/Banking are all inside
ASF-POL-19 rather than five separate pages), and 2 PHIG topics (Research Ethics, Editorial Independence) are GMJ/journal-specific and don’t apply to an accreditation body. Every PHIG topic is accounted for — either as its own page, folded into a broader one, or explicitly out of scope.
Source: PHIG Institutional Policy Manual, consolidated edition, September 2026, adapted for ASF’s structure and accreditation-specific context. Each policy is reviewed on a 3-year cycle under ASF-POL-46.
