I have just obtained the above "draft for public comment", which is the BS implemenation of Draft International Standard ISO/IEC 17024 General requirements for bodies operating certification schemes for persons. Apparently the circulation of this draft ISO/IEC standard is also a CEN(ELEC) parallel enquiry, and this first edition of ISO/IEC 17024 is a revision of EN 45013:1989.
So if you want to know how "certifiers" will be "certified", "in response to specific government requirements (i.e protection of the public) or a demonstrated market need/desire (i.e credibility, confidence and improvement of the profession)", this might be of interest.
