Passing the preliminary examination means that an application or a process has passed the preliminary examination, indicating that the application or process has reached the basic requirements. For the applicant or the applicant organization, passing the preliminary examination means that it can enter the next review process. For the application manager, the standards passed in the first instance also mean that the applicant or institution has certain conditions and can enter a deeper audit process. Therefore, the first trial is an important step and a key node.

The process of passing the preliminary examination is highly standardized. Usually, the applicant submits the materials first, and the management conducts a preliminary review before judging whether it meets the standards. Auditors will continue to follow up and ask for more information until the applicant meets the standards. In this process, both the applicant and the manager need to keep in touch with the auditors to ensure the smooth progress of the audit process.

The advantage of passing the first trial is that it can reduce the subsequent audit workload and the concept is simpler and clearer. At the same time, it also shows that managers will examine each material more strictly in the process of preliminary examination to ensure that applicants meet the standards, which is conducive to improving the quality of the whole examination. In addition, the results of the preliminary examination do not mean the end of the examination, and further examination and confirmation are needed to ensure that the activities and applications meet the standards. Only through more review processes can we ensure that the applicant or the applicant institution gets the expected recognition and authorization.
