The EE concept (Experience Evidence)
When applying for (re-)certifcation as Competent or Principal Assessor with a certification body the assessor submits EE (evidence of experience with practically applying, and theorectial understanding of, ISO/IEC 15504 and Process Assessment Models. Through this the assessor proves that he keeps in touch the latest SPICE community knowledge & experience, and maintain assessment practice on a regular basis.
The EE requirements are defined by intacsTM while certification bodies independently verify that the applicant has met these requirements when applying for (re-)certification. Thereby the EE concept supports the building of confidence in assessor qualification for all interested parties.
The detailed concepts and regulations are documented in the "intacsTM Procedure for assessor certification and Concept of Experience Evidence".
In order to obtain procedures you have to register with intacs.info website as a guest and then access the download area in the Community Menue.
For 2018 the experience evidence regulations have been significantly updated. Based on a 3 years period evidence need to be collected and reported for certification. Read the updated concept for more details:

Working Group "SPICE for IT-SERVICES"
This intacs working group is developing further the existing ISO-20000-PAM into an up-to-date Process Assessment Model „SPICE for IT-Services“ which will serve two purposes:
1. Managing IT Suppliers
Experience with the existing PAM has shown that it is very beneficial for large organizations that purchase IT services to evaluate their IT suppliers on their ability to support their customer's business. If the issues and weaknesses identified in the assessments are resolved, performance can be improved, and resilience enhanced.
2. „SPICE for Automotive IT-Services“
In a second development stage, the PAM will be extended to future automotive IT service management. The background is that automotive system development will evolve from a predominantly vehicle scope to a highly distributed scope in the next few years:
Onboard units in a vehicle will network (keyword "car-to-x communication") with e.g. other vehicles, roadside devices, cloud services (e.g. POI management, navigation, automated valet parking, trunk shopping delivery, ...).
Just as today the quality capability of vehicle suppliers is assessed with Automotive SPICE, in the future the quality capability of IT suppliers will be assessed with "SPICE for Automotive IT Services".
