Section 92 of 104
90. Competence and Qualification Requirements
Stable section ID: S05-CON-016-SECTION-92 · 29 content blocks
System05 governance shall assign consequential technical and institutional authority only to individuals and organizations with appropriate competence.
Competence may be demonstrated through:
education and professional credentials;
relevant experience;
technical publications or research;
Product or Process knowledge;
practical demonstration;
examination or assessment;
training;
peer recognition;
documented performance;
jurisdictionally recognized qualification.
Qualification requirements shall correspond to the exact Role and shall not assume that competence in one domain establishes competence in another.
A qualification shall identify:
scope;
issuing authority;
assessment method;
effective date;
expiration or review date;
limitations;
continuing-competence requirements;
suspension and withdrawal conditions.
Professional licenses shall be recognized according to their legal scope and jurisdiction. System05 qualifications shall not be represented as substitutes for legally required licenses.
Committee participation may include nontechnical stakeholders, but technical approval authority shall remain limited to appropriately competent Roles.
Organizations shall demonstrate institutional capability in addition to employing qualified individuals where their Role depends on quality systems, laboratories, security, manufacturing controls, or continuing services.
Competence shall be reassessed when Standards, technologies, Products, Profiles, or observed failure modes materially change.
AI systems may support qualification, analysis, or knowledge retrieval but shall not independently hold professional competence, institutional membership, or accountable approval authority.
False or materially misleading claims of competence shall be subject to correction, restriction, or enforcement.
System05 should maintain transparent qualification pathways that protect safety without creating unnecessary barriers to entry or favoring established institutions without technical justification.
