Very interesting question - have never thought about this. Am not aware of such a 'KSA' requirement for evaluations of an individual other than for building code inspectors (AHJ) in North America, and for most certified electricians in U.S. and Canada. But not certain that these evaluations address any particular safety standards.
Suppose that various agencies do this indirectly via evaluation of reports if your facility performs tests internally and writes reports for NRTL/SCC or NB review. There are general standards on how to run an accreditation scheme, but do not remember if standards knowledge is addressed. After more thought given, the only instances where subject to specific questions on safety/EMC standards was for various interviews, and where an IEC 'standard' unit was being used to verify veracity of my Type Test data and test technique. Would be interested in what others have encountered.

Does anyone know of any conformance assessor certification schemes that have provisions requiring the applicant to demonstrate familiarity with the standards to which they will be assessing? I am familiar with a couple lab certification schemes that appear to focus on general business practices and professional qualifications and rigor of assessment, but not necessarily needing to demonstrate the assessor knows well what the standard requires.
