AVQ quality guidelines to support AV projects
The AVITA quality project was launched in 2006. It resulted in the AVQ quality guide series, which describes the steps of an AV project and provides concrete tools for design and procurement. The guidelines are available for download in PDF format.
AVQ 1 – AV quality chain
AVQ 1 describes the overall AV design and implementation. It describes how the project progresses from needs assessment to deployment and maintenance.
As such, AVQ 1 is suitable as a “little textbook” for anyone working on AV projects.
AVQ 2 – Call for tender for AV design
AVQ 2 focuses on the preparation of an AV design tender. It aims to help decision-makers, developers and project consultants in particular to define a clear, comparable and appropriate tender.
AVQ 3 – AV design offer
AVQ 3 deals with the AV design offer from the provider’s perspective. It helps to ensure that the tender covers all key aspects and that it meets the client’s needs as accurately as possible.
