# Requirements Implementation and Verification Guide

This guide aims to assist Certificate Holders with the implementation of the Rainforest Alliance Standards by providing clarifications to interpret the requirements and the evidence required for compliance.

The Requirements Implementation and Verification Guide is a supplementary overall guidance, it is not intended to be used as a checklist. Rainforest Alliance Guidance documents are not binding and do not replace the standard and annexes which are binding.
