Shaping the Next Edition of ISO/IEC 23988: A Call for Contributions
The e-Assessment Association is pleased to invite contributions to the forthcoming 2nd Edition of ISO/IEC 23988: Code of Practice for the Use of Information Technology (IT) in Delivering Assessments.
This international standard applies not only to schools, colleges, and universities, but equally to professional certification, corporate training, vocational qualifications, and high-stakes licensing exams. It provides a framework to ensure that digital assessments are delivered securely, fairly, and accessibly across all contexts where evidence of knowledge, skills, or competence is required.
Why contribute?
The revised standard will include an annex of a variety of case studies from across the assessment sector. Submissions will be reviewed by the ISO/IEC working group, with successful examples shaping the updated standard. In addition, the e-Assessment Association will create case studies from all contributions, helping to highlight good practice and innovation in digital assessment.
What we are looking for
We welcome submissions from all parts of the assessment ecosystem, including:
Awarding organisations and professional bodies
Certification and licensing providers
Corporate training and skills assessment programmes
Technology and service providers
Research and innovation projects
Examples might include approaches to secure digital delivery, innovations in accessibility, integration of AI in marking, or practices that ensure fairness and reliability in high-stakes contexts. Please note: submissions should focus on practice and evidence, not sales pitches or product promotion.
How to get involved
To contribute, simply complete our short submission form by 12th September 2025. As part of the submission you will need to reference the relevant ISO/IEC 23988 clauses which can be found here.
We encourage organisations of all sizes to share their experiences. This is an opportunity to put your work on the global stage, influence international standards, and spotlight the innovation happening within your organisation.
