IIW structure to manage the IIW IAB ETQ&C system

As Chair of C-VII, Ahrens reported to the General Assembly meeting at Hamburg on 18 September 1998 that a very successful meeting was held by C-VII with 59 participants out of 25 countries being present. From a positive point of view 19 countries had already been authorised in advance to act as IIWANBs, all European, with a further five applicant countries, including Japan, USA and Australia, having expressed interest in becoming the first IIWANBs outside of Europe. In order to facilitate this process, two Lead and six Peer Assessors were approved by IIW. 16 Both the IIW and EWF General Assemblies then approved the creation of a Planning and Implementation Group to develop the IIW structure to manage the IIW scheme. This resulted in the creation of an IIW IAB within IIW to manage the ETQ&C system. 17 There was a cost involved in all of this and the means of covering this had still not been determined when the scheme officially commenced in 2000. Eventually it was resolved, as in previous situations, that income derived from the scheme would come from the payment of fees by the IIWANBs and income from the sale of diplomas. The proposed budget for 2001 was aimed at being revenue neutral with income and cost set at EUR
