one interesting standard to here: ISO 17024 – https://www.iso.org/standard/52993.html – it says: 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. SO proof of evidence shall be delivered based on ISO 17024.
and another one: PT 60079-44 – explosive atmospheres – personal competence – To develop a document identifying the minimum level of knowledge and skills required to work in hazardous areas and the specific competence required for work associated with equipment for explosive atmospheres.
keep up good work!
