My project is located in Colombia and I had some trouble finding information about the possibility of using Standards from outside the US in the documentation of the Pilot Credit 44: Ergonomics Strategy. The Colombian National authority in charge of the certification and regulation of technical standards produced two documents regarding ergonomics that are linked in many ways to the ones referenced in the credit requirements. However it was necessary to communicate via e-mail with a GBCI representative in order to recieve guidance regarding this topic. Is there any information available in the credit library or any different resources that may help future applicants to this credit outside of the US?

HI Angelica,
Great question! The pilot credit does give the project team the flexibility to select ergonomic standards that are most applicable for the project, even if they aren't included in the credit language. The standards referenced in the credit language are not an exhaustive list but a good start for most projects. If there are other relevant standards or resources for international projects we can certainly include them in the credit language or the resources section for this credit. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
