Each AP has established concrete requirement criteria to qualify

persons and include them in their specific ARoE

a) JI “ToR for the JI Assessment Teams”,

a) CDM “Criteria for selection and use of assessors & experts” for

CDM.

There are differences between CDM and JI requirements but

people in common

Steps to go

1.- Integration of SDM Accreditation Roster of Experts • In the first stage

• Persons in the JI ARoE that are not in the CDM ARoE, and viceversa, to maintain

their qualifications need to fulfill requirements plus

training

Implementation of this stage will give us

and 38 as CDM

According to their qualifications persons can be appointed in JI Assessments, CDM

Assessments or both.
