Quality

DIN 33430

The German technical standard DIN 33430 is regarded as the world’s most well-founded national standard for personnel decisions and describes the requirements for occupational aptitude diagnostics. Statements are made both on the quality of the instruments used and on the qualification of persons as well as on the interaction of process steps and procedures.

Harald Ackerschott is one of the initiators of this standard and has accompanied its development from the very beginning. Together with Norbert Ganter and Günter Schmitt, he also wrote the technical commentary on the application of the standard.

ISO standards

Technical Committee 260 on human resource management (TC 260) of the ISO world standards organisation comprises human resources experts from 54 countries.

Harald Ackerschott heads the German delegation to ISO TC 260 and also acts as the convenor of the international ISO TC 260 working group on recruitment. In this role, he is currently responsible for revising ISO 10667 to cover the most recent technological advances in assessment.

ISO TC 260 has now published 12 international standards or technical specifications, ranging from fundamental aspects such as HR governance, human capital reporting, and a series of definitions of relevant HR metrics, and 10 more projects are currently under development, including standards on Diversity & Inclusion and Learning & Development.
