STANDARD: ISO/IEC 17011  ·  CLAUSE: 6.1.3.1 c)  ·  TOPIC: Competence of AB personnel

Answer:

It depends on the documented process of the AB, but this could be a means of authorizing personnel for certain activities if the job description identified the concerned person(s). Other means are also possible.
