Standard for Jurisdictional Recognition Arrangements

Scope

Applies to every body seeking or holding recognition under the 1Cert.org recognition framework.

1. Content. A recognition arrangement records: the parties; the functions recognised; the jurisdiction; the scope and its exclusions; the term; and the conditions of suspension and withdrawal.
2. Publication. A summary of every arrangement in force is published on the recognised bodies register: body, role, jurisdiction, scope, validity dates.
3. Review. Every arrangement is reviewed at least annually against the criteria of the recognition framework; the review date is recorded.
4. Limits. Recognition extends to the recorded functions, jurisdiction and scope, and to nothing beyond them.
