No. | Criteria |
 | Preliminary research phase |
1 | The population at risk was stratified according to the burden of the disease and epidemiology of the transmission [8] |
2 | Vector habits were analysed and confirmed [8] |
3 | Sensitivity to potential insecticides was confirmed before selecting the insecticide(s) with the best results [8] |
 | Coverage |
4 | 80% of the population at risk has received insecticide-treated bed nets [7] |
5 | Insecticide-treated bed nets were distributed to 80% of pregnant women in the risk area [7] |
6 | Insecticide-treated bed nets were distributed to 80% of children under age five in the risk areas [7] |
7 | 80% of those surveyed said that they had slept under a bed net the night before [7] |
8 | Stockouts of insecticide for impregnation [of bednets] did not exceed three months in the last five years [7] |
9 | Stockouts of new bed nets for delivery to the population did not exceed six months in any of the cases [7] |
 | Quality |
10 | Standards and programmes exist for reimpregnation [of bed nets] on the household or community level [8] |
11 | A systematic procedure exists for monitoring that families have bed nets and use them appropriately (including re-impregnation and washing) [8] |
12 | A system is in place to monitor the resistance and sensitivity of insecticides used in bed nets [8] |
13 | Systematic procedures exist to monitor vector habits [8] |
14 | Systematic procedures exist to monitor residual insecticide in the bed nets [8] |
