ISO/IEC 17024 is an International Standard which sets out criteria for an organization's certification program for individual persons.

The issues that ISO 17024 tackles can be summarized as

• Defining what it is you examine (the competencies)
• Knowledge, skills and personal attributes
• Examination must be independent
• Examination must be a valid test of competence

where competency is typically described as “the demonstrated ability to apply knowledge, skills and attributes”.

The ISO/IEC 17024:2012 standard was updated in July 2012

The new version contains requirements for (personnel certification bodies)/Certification Bodies for Persons in the following areas

• General Requirements for the Certification Body for Persons
• Structural Requirements for the Certification Body for Persons
• Resource Requirements for the Certification Body for Persons
• Records and Information Requirements for the Certification Body for Persons
• Certification Scheme (Development of)
• Certification Process Requirements for the Certification Body for Persons
• Management System Requirements for the Certification Body for Persons

The major changes between the 2003 version and the 2012 version include the detailed information regarding the development of the scheme for certification of persons. The 2003 version required the Certification Body to have a Scheme Committee who had overall responsibility for the development of the scheme but did not elaborate the components that must be included in the scheme. The 2012 version has an entire clause (Clause 8) that provides detailed information regarding the components that must be included in the development and maintenance of the scheme but allows the scheme owner to be outside the Certification Body for Persons.

Other changes include a change in reference of "personnel certification bodies" to "Certification Body for Persons", defining of additional terms such as "validity" and "reliability", and the addition of a "principles" section that defines the foundational principles for the standard

A Personnel Certification Body is an organization that administers individual credentials. A personnel certification body develops criteria against which an individual needs to demonstrate competencies and ensures that these criteria are held by applicants before certifying them.

Most personnel certification bodies offer professional certification if an individual meets minimal requirements such as a minimum number of years of related working experience, minimum education level and having passed a certification exam or equivalent.

Many personnel certification bodies are accredited to the ISO/IEC 17024 standard, which was designed to harmonize the personnel certification process worldwide.

Principle of ISO 17024:

1. The overall purpose of ISO 17024 certification of persons is to determine an individual's competence to perform a task or job.
2. The ISO 17024 certification body has a responsibility to ensure that only those persons who demonstrate competence are awarded certification.
3. Certification of persons provides value through public confidence and trust. Public confidence relies on a valid assessment of competence, by a third party, reconfirmed at defined intervals.
4. The certification body should act in a responsible manner so as to provide confidence to interested parties in its competence, impartiality, and integrity

1. Creates working force to allow business / industries within the country to bring new business in to country,
2. Improves the quality of the workforce for industries within the country,
3. Allows employers to know “what they are buying”.
4. Allows mobility of workers within the country,
5. Allows workers to work outside the country,
6. Concrete pathway for workers to move higher in the job market within the country
