Cathodic protection - Competence levels of cathodic protection persons - Basis for certification scheme (ISO 15257:2017)

ISO 15257:2017 defines five levels of competence (detailed in Clause 4) for persons working in the field of cathodic protection (CP), including survey, design, installation, testing, maintenance and advancing the science of cathodic protection. It specifies a framework for establishing these competence levels and their minimum requirements.
Competence levels apply to each of the following application sectors:
-      on-land metallic structures;
-      marine metallic structures;
-      reinforced concrete structures;
       inner surfaces of metallic structures containing an electrolyte.
These application sectors are detailed in Clause 5.
ISO 15257:2017 specifies the requirements to be used for establishing a certification scheme as defined in ISO/IEC 17024. It is not mandatory to apply all of the levels and/or application sectors. This certification scheme is detailed in Annexes A, B and C.

Protection cathodique - Niveaux de compétence des personnes en protection cathodique - Base pour un dispositif particulier de certification (ISO 15257:2017)

ISO 15257:2017 définit cinq niveaux de compétence (détaillés à l'Article 4) pour les personnes travaillant dans le domaine de la protection cathodique (PC), incluant l'étude préalable, la conception, l'installation, le contrôle, la maintenance, ainsi que les progrès scientifiques en protection cathodique. Il spécifie un cadre pour l'établissement de ces niveaux de compétence, ainsi que les exigences minimales correspondantes.
Les niveaux de compétence s'appliquent à chacun des secteurs d'application suivants:
-      les structures métalliques terrestres;
-      les structures métalliques en mer;
-      les structures en béton armé;
-      les surfaces intérieures des structures métalliques contenant un électrolyte.
Ces secteurs d'application sont décrits en détail à l'Article 5.
ISO 15257:2017 spécifie les exigences à utiliser pour établir un dispositif particulier de certification comme défini dans l'ISO/IEC 17024. Il n'est pas obligatoire d'appliquer tous les niveaux et/ou tous les secteurs d'application. Ce dispositif particulier de certification est décrit en détail dans les Annexes A, B et C.

Katodna zaščita - Stopnje usposobljenosti in certifikacija osebja za katodno zaščito - Osnova za shemo certificiranja (ISO 15257:2017)

Ta mednarodni standard določa pet stopenj usposobljenosti in certificiranja osebja, ki deluje na področju katodne zaščite, vključno s pregledom, projektiranjem, namestitvijo, preskušanjem in vzdrževanjem. Določa okvir za vzpostavitev teh stopenj usposobljenosti in certificiranja ter minimalne zahteve. Stopnje usposobljenosti in certificiranja se uporabljajo v vsakem od naslednjih sektorjev: – kovinske strukture na kopnem; – pomorske kovinske strukture; – strukture iz armiranega betona; – notranje površine iz kovinskih oklopnih struktur. Ta mednarodni standard določa zahteve, ki se uporabljajo za vzpostavljanje sheme certificiranja, kot določa standard ISO/IEC 17024. Ta shema certificiranja je podrobno opisana v dodatkih A, B in C. Informacije: Tehnični odbor CEN/TC 219 je razvil standard EN 15257:2006, ki ga sedaj sprejema tehnični odbor ISO/TC 156 z nekaterimi spremembami izvirnega dokumenta EN. Tehnični odbor ISO/TC 156 je registriral delovni element ISO kot delovni element ISO v skladu z dunajskim sporazumom, vendar ga tehnični odbor CEN/TC 219 ni odobril kot aktivni delovni element CEN/TC 219 v skladu z dunajskim sporazumom, kar je potrebno za vzporedno aktivno glasovanje tehničnega odbora CEN/TC 219. Tehnični odbor CEN/TC 219 je odobril NWIP kot delovni element ISO v skladu z dunajskim sporazumom.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
