The Asset Management Council has been working with more than 30 volunteers in Australia and New Zealand to create set of questions for an ISO Assessor exam, to certify individuals to be approved as ISO 55001 Assessors.
The volunteers contributed more than 250 multiple choice questions that have been approved by SMRPCO as suitable for beta testing.
The Asset Management Council has invited individuals who contributed to the exam to sit the trial, which will be held in a number of Australian cities including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth, in the coming week.

The Asset Management Council has launched a procedure called Project Submission and Approval Process. The purpose of the Project Submission and Approval Process is to create a filter that allows projects with certain specifications to pass to the implementation phase.
The Project Submission and Approval Process is a systematic method to process and evaluate project initiatives presented for consideration. Through the process each project initiative will be tested against a number of criteria. If the project passes these criteria, it will then move to the next phase, where another set of criteria are in place. These criteria could include risk, finance, alignment with Asset Management Council strategy, priority, potential outcomes, etc.

The Asset Management Council has commenced collating questions for the ISO Assessor Competency Test.
The ISO Assessor Competency Test Project is designed to identify whether an individual has the asset management knowledge required by the GFMAM Competency Specification for an ISO 55001 Asset Management System Auditor/Assessor to become an ISO 5500X auditor.
The AM Council has formed five national teams to work with two international teams from Canada (PEMAC), and Brazil (ABRAMAN). The seven teams will produce a set of questions that will be psychometrically modified and finally produced as a multiple choice exam to test practitioners wanting to become ISO 55001 assessors.
