With the introduction of multiple PAM extensions, we received multiple questions which assessor qualification is needed to conduct assessments using PAM extension to be in line with the ISO33xxx/intacs® or VDA®/intacs® rules for Automotive.
- intacs® certified assessors are qualified for all passed PAM specific trainings, Extension trainings and exams; domain specific qualifications may apply.
- If PAM extensions are assessed in an "official" assessment, at least one assessment team member must have taken part in the extension training and passed the exam.
- "Official" assessments are those that are carried out according to the valid ISO33xxx/intacs® or VDA®/intacs® rules and for which EEs (Experience Evidences) are awarded.
- Technical experts are not a substitute for the additional qualification (PAM extension) of a qualified assessor and are not part of the assessment team. They are interview participants but are not an assessor substitute.
