control document but mainly as a verification document

Explanation:
the plan cannot be viewed solely as a control document but mainly as a verification document

"sturing" usually means control
"toetsing" in a technical context often means verification
I think what they are trying to say is that the plan can no longer be viewed as just the document that shows where everything is but that it has become some kind of checklist.
