05 — References

The framework that turns design into proof, and a report into a document.

The regulations, standards, and accreditations behind ProYA design — every citation tied to a source, every reference to an approved framework.

An engineering report is read through its citations.

Regulations are not a collection of rules; they are the framework that makes a design defensible. Which limit is reached with which document, where each coefficient comes from — this page transparently shows which reference set ProYA uses, and within what scope.

Documents are not a showcase, but an audit field.

ProYA does not reduce its documents to marketing material. Each document is a commitment to which process we carry out, and within which limits; upon request by the client or auditor, scope and dates are shared together with the document.

When regulations or accreditations are updated, the report notes which version ongoing projects continue under; during transition periods, design decisions are based on the stricter framework.

Let’s discuss your project’s framework.

Which regulation, which performance target, which document — let’s clarify the scope and place your project within this framework.
