Description / Abstract:
This International Standard specifies requirements for a body
certifying persons against specific requirements, including the
development and maintenance of a certification scheme for
persons.
NOTE: In some countries, bodies which verify the conformity of
the competence of persons against specified requirements are called
"certification bodies", in other countries "registration bodies",
in others "assessment and registration bodies" or
"certification/registration/licensure bodies", and in others still
"registrars". This International Standard uses the term
"certification body". However, this use is not limiting.
