International Organization for Standardization (ISO)ISO 17024

ISO/IEC 17024:2012 CONTAINS PRINCIPLES AND REQUIREMENTS FOR A BODY CERTIFYING PERSONS AGAINST SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS, AND INCLUDES THE DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF A CERTIFICATION SCHEME FOR PERSONS.

CMMC professional certification regimes, like those for individual Assessors and Instructors, will conform to ISO/IEC Standard 17024 for organizations operating certification of individuals. The standard serves as the basis for the recognition of the certification bodies for persons and the certification schemes under which persons are certified to facilitate their acceptance at the national and international levels. The requirements in this standard are general requirements for bodies providing certification and highlight that certification of individuals can only occur when there is a certification scheme. The certification scheme is designed to supplement the requirements included in the standard and include those requirements that the market needs or that are required by respective governments.
