PAS 525 aims to establish an internationally applicable framework for assessing the competence and commitment of engineering professionals. Many professional engineering institutions, regulators and licensing bodies would like to develop a globally recognized competence specification that enables a recognition of their achievements and facilitates the mobility of employment. PAS 525 can then be adapted to meet local needs by international organizations that want to derive their national standard.
The aims of PAS 525 are:
- To create an internationally applicable framework for assessing the competency and commitment of professional engineers
- To provide a framework that could be applied to other professional engineering communities that wish to create national standards
- To provide internationally applicable guidelines for those involved in educating and training engineers
- To provide a framework that could be used to support specifications for engineering projects, products, and processes.
