As every standard professional knows, the integrity and excellence of standards development lies in the competence and expertise of the individuals engaged in the process.

In a move designed to foster a highly skilled and proficient workforce, ISO in collaboration with its members, has created the Competency Framework for Standards Development Professionals. This framework provides valuable insights and tools for those involved in the standards development process to remain adaptable and responsive in an ever-changing world.

This first-of-its-kind initiative aims to support standards professionals worldwide. It offers a structured process designed to develop skills, outlines how to be effective in a given role, and underscores important processes that  help build a skilled, engaged and adaptable workforce that drives success and growth.
