The technical supervision of the professional system
The Technical Scientific Committee (CTS) is the operational name of the Scientific Committee provided for by the Statute of the Association and operates within the scope of the competencies attributed by the current associative acts.
For the technical-scientific subjects within its competence, the CTS examines, approves and updates Professional Standards, Method, assessment criteria, maintenance requirements and transition rules. The Association then takes care of the validation and formal adoption of the acts according to its competencies, without replacing the technical decision.
What does the CTS
Professional Standards
Defines and updates the technical elements that describe what must be demonstrated for a qualification or professional profile.
IDONEITAS Method
It technically governs the Method, its versions and the general criteria with which Standards, Evidences, Assessments and Lifecycle are linked.
Sources and evidence
Evaluate the relevance, reliability, and limitations of the sources used to motivate a technical change or review.
Assessment and impartiality
Oversees technical requirements and guarantees for evaluation, decision, review and separation of roles.
From evidence to technical decision
A change does not enter the system automatically. The evidence is recorded and contextualized; when it is sufficiently relevant, it is instructed and submitted to the CTS. The Committee evaluates bases, impacts, risks, and compatibility before approving, modifying, deferring, or rejecting the proposal.
What the CTS does not replace
Work Observatory
The Observatory collects and structures external signals; the CTS decides if and how these signals affect the technical system.
Individual decision
The CTS defines the technical framework, but the decision on the individual candidate follows the functions and segregations provided for by the Method.
Associative governance
Appointments, membership, discipline and organizational acts remain attributed to the associative bodies according to the Statute and rules in force.
Competence, Impartiality and Conflict Management
The composition and functioning of the CTS are defined by the current associative acts. Technical-scientific activities must distinguish proposal, evaluation, decision and execution. Relevant conflicts of interest require declaration, abstention, or other mitigation measures consistent with the case.
Governance principle: the Observatory observes and reports; the CTS evaluates and decides. No trend, data or automatic system changes a Professional Standard on its own.
Decisions attributable to sources, acts and versions
Decisions that modify Standards or technical rules must be attributable to a documented base, an approval act and an identifiable version. Transparency concerns mandate, responsibility and motivation for decisions; technical materials whose dissemination would compromise the integrity of the assessment or methodological know-how remain subject to levels of controlled access.
