The workshop is designed to introduce interested stakeholders to the international standard ANSI/ISO/IEC 17024 General requirements for bodies operating certification schemes for persons, including revised and new requirements in the latest 2012 edition. Discussions will focus on building an understanding of the standard's requirements, its benefits, and why it has become the benchmark for personnel certification. The sessions are intended for all organizations considering accreditation by ANSI to ISO/IEC 17024, which is an international standard increasingly recognized by the U.S. government, the certification industry, and employers.
