The only ones that come to mind are ISO audits, and the contractual requirements between you entity and the NRTL/NB you engage to provide your certifications. These only require that you possess the standard in question and employees can locate it when necessary, thereby establishing "familiarity." None that I know require any demonstration of competence. NRTL's must establish competence, and adequacy of their facilities, to their auditors. Colorado Brian

Date: Mon, 11 May 2015 23:15:53 +0000 Does anyone know of any conformance assessor certification schemes that have provisions requiring the applicant to demonstrate familiarity with the standards to which they will be assessing? I am familiar with a couple lab certification schemes that appear to focus on general business practices and professional qualifications and rigor of assessment, but not necessarily needing to demonstrate the assessor knows well what the standard requires.
