The Assessment consolidation phase starts once all experts assigned to assess an application or report in Assessment module have submitted their individual assessments and the NA Selection Manager initiates the consolidation process by configuring the consolidation.

The NA Selection Manager nominates one of the experts involved in the project assessment as consolidator and the other expert(s) involved in the consolidation are required to give approval to the consolidation. The NA can exclude any expert from the consolidation process. The expert(s) excluded from the consolidation process will not have to approve the consolidated version of the assessment. 

If the consolidation was initiated by the National Agency, and the other expert(s) involved in the assessment process were selected to participate in the consolidation process, the following main steps have to be completed in Assessment Module by the expert assigned as consolidator and/or the other involved expert(s):

1. Consolidation assignment - the expert nominated as consolidator completes the consolidation assignment, selects the submission option and sends it for approval to the expert(s) involved. 
2. Expert approval - the expert(s) selected by the NA to participate in the consolidation approve the consolidated assessment. 
3. Consolidation submission - the approved consolidated assessment is submitted to the NA either by the expert nominated as consolidator or automatically, depending on the submission option selected by the consolidator when sending the consolidation for expert approval. 

Under certain conditions, the National Agency can also select for the assessment consolidation being conducted automatically without the involvement of the experts.
