| Accreditation of Personnel Certification Bodies |
Program Description
AIAB operates a third-party assessment and accreditation program geared towards organizations that certify personnel.
The set of criteria employed by AIAB for accreditation is contained within ISO/IEC 17024 - which is a conformity assessment standard that specifies requirements for organizations that certify individuals against specific requirements, including the development and maintenance of a certification scheme for personnel.
Organizations that pursue ISO/IEC 17024 accreditation are usually:
|
- Membership Organizations / Associations
- Professional Certification Boards
- Consultant Certification Bodies
- Auditor / Assessor Certification Bodies
- Trainer / Instructor Certification Bodies
- Technical Expert Certification Bodies
|
| For each Certification Program to be considered in the Scope of
Accreditation, organizations would define: |
- The Board of Knowledge,
- Competence Criteria,
- Competence Evaluation and Certification Procedure(s)
|
| These elements would normally be described in a Quality Manual or other policy or operational document that describes how the organization meets the requirements of ISO/IEC 17024. |
| The organization's Certification Program practices and related documentation would be reviewed by AIAB Assessors in order to determine conformity to ISO/IEC 17024. See a general description of AIAB's Accreditation Procedure. |
