Standards Development

Scope

To define the requirements for the provisions of technical personnel dealing with any kind of operation on NG fuelled vehicles in order to demonstrate their skill, ability and knowledge.

Purpose

Since the effectiveness of any application on NGVs depends upon the capabilities of the persons who perform or are responsible this, a procedure has been developed to provide a means of evaluating and documenting the competence of personnel whose duties require the appropriate theoretical and practical knowledge of the work they perform, specify, supervise, monitor or evaluate.

When certification of personnel working on NGVs is required in product standards, regulations, codes or specifications, it is important to certify the personnel in accordance with this International Standard.

When latitude is provided in the criteria within this International Standard, the certification body has the final decision in determining specific requirements.

When there is no mandatory requirement in national legislation, or in case a member State does not adopt this international standard, concerning certification of NGv’s personnel, it is for employers of such personnel to decide how to assure themselves that they are competent to do the work assignment.in standard or in the order for certification of NGVs personnel, it is for employers of such personnel to decide how to assure themselves that they are competent to do the work assignments. Thus, they may employ people who are already certified or they may apply their own expertise so as to assure themselves that their employee has the necessary competence. In this last case, prudent employers would no doubt use this International Standard as a reference document.
