All CRCs are reviewed periodically throughout their seven-year life. Major reviews are typically held in the third and fifth years.

Here you can read the reviews of independent panels on the performance of the TS-CRC in its first term (1995-2001), and the First and Second Year Reviews of the TS-CRC's second term (2001 - 2009).
