ICxA Global Standards

Outcome Governance (ISO-Level)

The ISO Outcome Assuracne Standard defines the WHY and WHAT of outcome assurance.

It establishes a consistent governance framework for:

• Defining outcomes

• Governing decision rights

• Authorizing outcomes

• Ensuring outcome evidence exists and is credible

This standard is intentionally discipline-agnostic and applies across all project types, sectors, and delivery models.

Commissioning & Outcome Execution (IEC-Level)

The Commissioning & Outcome Sxecution standard define the HOW.

This standard provides the commissioning, verification, and evidence framework required to produce the information needed to support outcome authorization.

The Commissioning & Outcome Execution standard applies to all projects and systems, such as:

• Power Systems

• Process & Media Systems

• Building & Life Safety Systems

• Transport & System-of-Systems

• Operational Readiness

Why This Structure Works

This architecture is intentionally designed to separate:

Governance (authorization, accountability, decision rights)
from
Execution (testing, verification, commissioning methods, evidence production)

This ensures:

• the governance standard remains stable and widely applicable; and

• execution standards can evolve by sector, system type, and technology without fragmenting outcome governance.
