In addition, EA Guidance documents have been categorised. The 4 categories (see below) give an indication on how to apply the document.
1. EA MLA procedure documents
EA MLA procedure documents are the documents that lay down the requirements for the operation of the MLA
2. EA MLA support documents
EA MLA support documents are documents of a horizontal nature that support the application of the standards used for accreditation. These documents must be implemented by EA member accreditation bodies for use in their accreditation systems. Their implementation will be assessed as part of the EA MLA peer evaluation process.

EA Sector specific documents are documents of a sector specific nature that support the implementation of the standards used for accreditation in specific sector applications.

4. Technical documents
Technical documents are documents that provide technical or scientific guidance that defines recommended examples how to fulfil the criteria.
Document control
As owners of the EA publications, the EA committees are responsible for the drafting, control and revision of their documents.
The same applies for the documents owned by the EA secretariat (1 / 01 to 1 / 99 series, 2 / 04, 2 / 12 and 3 / 01).
Furthermore, the EA secretariat is responsible for the preparation of the documents according to the approved template, for publication on the EA web site.
For any question relating to a publication, please contact the Committee in charge or the EA secretariat, as indicated in page 2 of the document.
Periodically, at least every 5 years, the Communications and Publications Committee coordinates a review of the EA publications with the other Committees.
