9. Interrelation with other Modules
Review in Module 1 may have relationship with:
Module 3 (regulatory body related issues),
Module 4 (management system of the regulatory body)
Module 6 (coordination among different authorities in general versus specific involvement of authorities in review and assessment),
Module 9 (legal framework and regulations and guides).

12. Interrelation with other Modules
Review in Module 3 may have relationship with:
Module 1 (coordination among different authorities),
Module 4 (management system of the RB)
Module 5 (authorizations)
Module 6 (organizational structure, independence, staffing, liaison with technical support organization, liaison with authorized parties, safety related records – all these components in general versus specific for review and assessment),
Module 9 (development and review of regulations and guides)

22. Most populated Subject Groups
1.d: Providing/using legal framework for regulatory activities; 7.a: Developing the inspection programme; 9.b: Reviewing regulations and guides; 7.c: Procedures and guides for inspection; 3.a: Staffing of regulatory body; 4.a: Developing and (integrated) Management System, general; 10.e:Complying with emergency preparedness and response technical requirements; 3.f: External involvement in the regulatory process; 4.b: Details of the MS, developing MS manual; 9.a: Developing regulations and guides in general

23. Correlations (1)
Conclusion: The numbers of observations in Subject Groups are positively correlated for all types of observations
Refresher IRRS Training - IRRS Modules

24. Correlations (2) Conclusions:
The expected correlations are not present in all missions
The reasons for R – S are:
R -> S conversion
S -> R conversion
The reasons for R+S – G are:
compensation by reviewers
some topics are more frequently considered than others
