09.6 What needs to be considered in the composition of the peer review panel in bundling procedures?

§ Section 25 (1) MRVO regulates the minimum size of the peer review panel and its composition for program accreditation. This means that in the case of complex accreditation procedures – such as cluster accreditations – larger expert panels are possible, whereby the proportion of the groups represented must be maintained. (see § 25 para. 1 MRVO including justification).

In its resolution “Size of peer review panels in bundled procedures” of 21.03.2019, the Accreditation Council states, with reference to the proven practice from the old Accreditation system, that in justified cases a proportional increase in the number of peer reviewers to be appointed can be waived.

The Accreditation Council does not question deviations that are comprehensibly justified and documented in the accreditation report in the aforementioned sense.
