ISO’s Joint Technical Coordination Group (‘JTCG’) was established in 2007 and comprises representatives from all of ISO’s and IEC’s management system standards (MSS) committees. It is responsible for what is now known as ‘Annex L’ of the ISO/IEC Directives Part 1. Annex L defines the terminology, high-level structure (‘HLS’) and core text to enhance the consistency of ISO’s and IEC’s portfolio of management system standards. Taskforce 14 (TF 14) was established in late 2018 to conduct a limited revision of this Annex L.
Ensuring people have the right skills for the job is a key element of an organization’s success. A recently revised and revamped International Standard will help integrate competence management into its daily work.
