ISO/IEC 17024:2026
Bodies Operating Certification of Persons.
ISO/IEC 17024:2026 sets requirements for bodies that certify people against defined competence requirements. It helps certification bodies operate consistent and reliable schemes, conduct fair assessments, protect impartiality, and support national and international recognition of certified persons.
Important Note
ISO published ISO/IEC 17024:2026 in March 2026, replacing and withdrawing the 2012 edition. Bodies seeking accreditation in Malaysia should confirm the applicable local adoption and transition requirements with Standards Malaysia before finalizing their implementation plan.
