PCN 2024 Document Download
The PCN Scheme has been undergoing a major review and relaunch following the issue of ISO 9712:2022. All new PCN24 Scheme documents are prefixed 'PCN24' and officially launch on 1 July 2024; however, there will be a phased introduction. Where new PCN24 documents have not yet been issued, the legacy documents should continue to be used.
Any concerns or queries should be forwarded to the Certification Services Department, which will endeavour to respond in good time:
