A template can serve several standards at once, and 173 of the 829 do. An incident report satisfies OSHA recordkeeping and the provincial reporting duty in the same submission. A calibration record answers ISO 9001, the food safety scheme and the measurement standard together. That is the point of a single library rather than one folder per certification.
On the home page every basis appears as its own chip. Hover one for the explanation, or click it to filter the whole library to that standard.
Where a template cites a clause, the clause is the specific requirement it answers. Where it cites a standard with no clause, the standard sets the expectation but the detail is ours.

Reading a citation
- A clause number, for example ISO 45001 cl.8.1, points at the exact requirement the template answers.
- A regulation number, for example OSHA 1910.147(c)(4), points at the specific paragraph.
- A named method, for example REBA or Snook and Ciriello, means the template implements that method rather than a legal requirement.
