# ISO 14066 ## ISO 14066 Complementing the organizational requirements of ISO 14065, [ISO 14066:2023](https://www.iso.org/standard/82544.html) (*Environmental information - Competence requirements for teams validating and verifying environmental information*) outlines the competence requirements of the personnel conducting the assessments. ISO 14066 provides validation and verification bodies (VVBs) with a clear framework against which to assess, develop, and maintain the capabilities of their personnel. ### Key Principles of ISO 14066 The requirements of ISO 14066 address competence across the different roles involved in a validation or verification engagement, including: * **Knowledge requirements** cover the technical expertise that team members must possess, including familiarity with the applicable environmental information programme, quantitative and qualitative methods, and sector-specific knowledge relevant to the engagement. * **Skills requirements** define team member capability requirements, including evidence gathering and evaluation, material issue identification, and the communication of findings. Additional skills requirements apply specifically to team leaders. * **Demonstration and maintenance requirements** set out how competence must be initially evidenced and maintained over time through ongoing professional development and periodic evaluation. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
