- Validate each applicant ranking as legally compliant.Output validation may be useful, but ISO/IEC 42001 certification does not establish that every ranking is safe or legally compliant.
- Certify the organization’s AI management processes.This addresses the management-system scope but does not by itself provide assurance about impacts of the employment-screening use case.
- Replace management-system certification with accuracy testing and use accuracy as the basis for employment-impact assurance.Accuracy testing can inform evaluation but cannot replace an AI management system or establish that employment impacts are acceptable, fair, or legally compliant.
- Certify management processes and assess screening impacts separately. ✓ISO/IEC 42001 concerns organizational management processes and continual improvement, while the employment use requires separate assessment of its context-specific impacts.
The trap
Ask whether the evidence concerns organizational processes or the impacts and legality of particular outputs. How to remember it
