Conformity assessment - General requirements for bodies operating certification of persons (ISO/IEC DIS 17024:2025); German and English version prEN ISO/IEC 17024:2025
Abstract
This document contains principles and requirements for a body operating certification of persons and includes the development and maintenance of a scheme for certification of persons. This document has been developed with the objective of achieving and promoting a globally accepted benchmark for organizations operating certification of persons. Certification of persons is one means of providing assurance that the certified person meets the requirements identified in the certification scheme. Confidence in the respective schemes for certification of persons is achieved by means of a globally accepted process of assessment and periodic re-assessments (if applicable) of the competence of certified persons. This document can serve as the basis for the recognition of the bodies operating certification of persons, in order to facilitate their acceptance at the regional, national and international levels. Only the harmonization of the methodologies for developing and maintaining schemes for certification of persons can establish the environment for mutual recognition and the global exchange of personnel. This document specifies requirements which ensure that bodies operating certification of persons operate in a consistent, comparable and reliable manner. The requirements in this document are considered to be general requirements for bodies providing certification of persons. Certification of persons can only occur when there is a certification scheme. Schemes for certification of persons are based on market needs or desires or can be required by governments. This document can be used as a criteria document for accreditation or peer assessment or designation by governmental authorities, scheme owners and others.
