intacs® certified assessors are qualified for all passed PAM specific trainings, Extension trainings and exams; domain specific qualifications may apply.
If extensions are assessed in an "official" assessment, one of the assessment team member must be a certified assessor and have taken part in the extension training and passed the exam.
Personal with technical expertise is not a substitute for the additional qualification (extension) for a qualified assessor, and can not be part of the assessment team. They are interview participants, but are not assessor substitutes.
"Official" assessments are those that are carried out according to the valid ISO33xxx/intacs® or VDA/intacs® rules and for which EEs are awarded.
