2.3 Competences, knowledge and skills

A competence is defined as the “ability to apply knowledge and skills to achieve intended results” in EN ISO/IEC 17021-1 (3.7). It is clearly composed of two aspects:

• knowledge and skills;
• the ability to apply them to achieve intended results.

Competence requirements therefore need to cover both aspects as well. ISO/IEC TS 17027 adds more relevant definitions:

• An ability is defined as the capacity to perform an activity (2.1).
• Knowledge is defined as facts, information, truths, principles or understanding acquired through education, training, experience or other means (2.56, slightly modified to match 2.74).
• A skill is defined as ability to perform a task or activity with a specific intended outcome acquired through education, training, experience or other means (2.74).
