ISO 17024 is the international standard for organisations certifying the competence of individuals. It sets out the requirements for developing and managing personnel certification schemes, ensuring that certified individuals are assessed objectively, fairly, and in line with globally recognised benchmarks.
Whether you're an awarding body, membership organisation, or certification provider, ISO 17024 strengthens your credibility and helps gain national or international recognition. It’s often a precondition for UKAS accreditation and enhances confidence among regulators, industry stakeholders, and certification candidates.

It’s the international standard for organisations certifying individuals. It ensures personnel certification schemes are impartial, consistent, and globally recognised.
No, but it's often required or strongly recommended for credibility, UKAS accreditation, and procurement eligibility.
Professional bodies, trade associations, certification boards, awarding organisations, and companies certifying skills or competencies.
Not directly. It applies to bodies that certify people, not those delivering training. However, many training organisations create separate certification schemes to meet ISO 17024.
Typically 4 to 6 months depending on system maturity, number of schemes, and internal capacity.
Yes. UKAS accredits organisations against ISO 17024 once the full scheme documentation and delivery processes are in place.
ISO 17024 allows for written, oral, and practical assessments — as long as they are fair, valid, reliable, and documented.
Policies, scheme rules, governance structures, exam procedures, complaints and appeals processes, impartiality controls, and audit records.
