NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard which is identical with ISO/IEC TS 17027 : 2014 ‘Conformity assessment — Vocabulary related to competence of persons used for certification of persons’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Eletrotechnical Commission (IEC) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the CASCO National Mirror Committee and approval of the Management and Systems Division Council.

The text of ISO/IEC Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
