+3.1 Overview

3.1 Overview

The table below, inspired from CEN TS 18072’s Annex A [8], defines the knowledge and skills required for the different roles, which are then defined in greater details in the rest of the section.

In the table below, a “B” indicates a competence requirement for Module B assessments, an “H” indicates a competence requirement for Module H assessments and an “(X)” indicates a conditional competence requirement (typically, a requirement for all stakeholders involved in a related activity). The assumption is here that a conformity assessment body may be notified for performing only some activities (e.g., Module B assessments, but no module H assessments). A “X*” indicates a partial coverage of a competence requirement.

The following guidelines can be used:

  • A mark in the “ Evaluator ” column indicates knowledge and skills that are required for all relevant evaluators.
  • A mark in the “ Evaluation lead ” column indicates knowledge and skills that are required for lead evaluators, in addition to the other skills of an evaluator, or with higher expectation levels.
  • A mark in the “ Evaluation team ” column indicates knowledge and skills that are required for at least one member of the evaluation team.
  • A mark in the “ Personnel preparing the evaluation ” column indicates knowledge and skills that are required for the persons involved in the application review to determine the evaluation team competence required, to select the evaluation team members and to determine the evaluation time
  • A mark in the “ Personnel reviewing reports and making decisions ” column indicates knowledge and skills that are required for the person in charge of reviewing reports and making conformity assessment decisions.

In all cases, additional details are provided below.
