CRIC is pleased to have three ISO 20252:2019 leaders presenting this webinar. Don Ambrose, International Chair of the ISO/TC 225 (technical committee), and Annie Pettit, Chair of the Canadian Mirror Committee for ISO/TC 225, will provide background and describe the benefits of compliance. Juliana Wood, Managing Director of CIRQ, the Insights Associations accredited certification body, will outline the core requirements as well as the requirements of each Annex.
