Partner Organizations
A number of other countries and regions of the world have certification systems for professional ergonomists that are also endorsed by the International Ergonomics Association (IEA). The certification of these organizations is based on minimum standards of competency defined by the IEA. Ergonomists certified at the highest (or professional) level by these organizations may be considered equivalent to the CREE registered European Ergonomists in terms of their professional competence. They have also signed Codes of Conduct which are similar to that of CREE. In addition to CREE, the IEA has endorsed the following certification systems:
- Board of Certification of Professional Ergonomists BCPE, USA
- Ergonomics Society of Brazil Certification Body
- Japan Ergonomics Association Certification Board
- New Zealand Ergonomics Society Certification Board
