This Guidance document has been developed to facilitate the use of the Integrated Assessment Protocol (IAP). This macro-enabled Excel Workbook was created to assist the Mining Organization and Operation with an integrated approach to assessing conformity to select responsible mining initiatives.

This workbook includes a combined protocol that represents the following standards:

• Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM)
• Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA)
• Responsible Jewelry Council (RJC)
