Personnel Certification


What is Personnel Certification?

Possible examples of personnel who could be certified are:

Gas/oil fitters, welders, electricians/electrical inspectors, timber grading inspectors, emissions inspectors etc..

How to become an accredited Personnel Certification Body?


In this case, the personnel certification body must conform with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17024.

ISO/IEC 17024 has a number of requirements for organisational structure, quality management system elements, competence of personnel, confidentiality etc. The personnel certification body must be able to demonstrate compliance with all of these requirements.

Once the personnel certification body has all of the organisational and technical measures in place, and has been operating a certification service for a period of time sufficient to have historical records built up, and can demonstrate that the operation is stable (typically three months minimum), it can apply to INAB for accreditation.
