According to ISO 17024 ("General requirements for bodies certifying persons") and the Accreditation Act of the Austrian Federal Government (AkkG - Federal Law on the Accreditation of Testing, Surveillance and Certification Bodies), the procedure for the certification of a competence requires compliance with certain framework conditions. These framework conditions are specified in the "Guideline for training places".

All the provisions contained in this guideline must be considered as binding for all the persons and organisations involved and their recognition must be defined as a compulsory condition for accreditation as a training body.

  • Application for the admission as a training institution
  • Guidelines for training institutions
  • Guidelines for the usage of signs, logos and certificates
  • Checklist of impartiality
  • Agreement on data processing of training institutions

Without an agreement to observe and comply with the provisions of these guidelines and checklist, it is not possible to be admitted as a training place or to extend an admission.
