read and apply

[Mania]

Выражение встречается в СОП. Не пойму, что оно точно означает, привожу контекст, в котором встречается.

SOPs that do not have associated training and are required as “read and apply” on a defined curriculum will be documented in either the agreed divisional learning management system or official SOP document management system.

*********
Who should take “read and apply”?
Individuals within organizations in scope of the DST SOPs are required to take “read and apply” prior to applying the SOP procedures to their job function.

IMHO: инструкция к применению
