ILDA accreditation
and certification programs
ILDA volunteer Members are working on a number of
accreditation and certification programs. The details of the program, and the pace of
work, are up to Members working in these areas. Any interested ILDA
Member is welcome to participate in this effort.
All ILDA Members will have opportunities to review and
comment on the programs.
Quality control and review
The programs will be reviewed by the Executive Director
and Board, to ensure that they address standards for credentialling
programs. These include
ANSI/IEC/ISO 17024 and the
National Commission
for Certifying Agencies. Resources include the books "Certification and
Accreditation Law Handbook, 2nd Ed." and "The Business of
Certification". Key concepts which must be addressed are discussed
on the Required Elements page.
Who may apply
All programs are open to any qualified entity -- it is
not a requirement to be an ILDA Member in order to gain certification or
accreditation.
When will a program be available?
These programs are being developed at the pace and speed
of the volunteer effort. Ideally, there will be a certification or
accreditation program for all ILDA Member activities, such as a Member
who only manufactures parts used in laser show projectors.
However, some activities, such as doing laser shows or
building complete projectors, are more common and/or are deemed more
important for public safety. So the focus will initially be on setting
up programs in these areas.
ILDA
programs
None of these programs are
available at this time. They are all in development. Therefore, the
description and name may change. Click on a blue link to see more
information about a program.
-
"ILDA Accredited Professional
Lasershow Company" This program is for companies, organizations and
individuals doing laser shows and displays. It identifies those who have experience
and competency in doing shows. The goal is to separate "professionals"
from those who are less experienced or knowledgeable.
Requirements will
include doing shows, being active in the industry, and having safety
knowledge. There is a form to fill out with a "point system".
Points must be achieved in specified areas, such as number of shows,
safety knowledge, keeping up-to-date with technology, etc.
-
"ILDA Certified Projector", "ILDA Certified Controller"
These programs certify that laser equipment meets ILDA
standards for signal interconnections. The goal is that any ILDA
Certified Projector can be run by any ILDA Certified Controller. There
may also be requirements in the areas of safety and of minimum image
quality. It is expected that manufacturers will self-certify; that is,
there will not be a third-party that tests the equipment. If a piece of
equipment is found to not meet the standard, then the ILDA Certification
will be revoked.
A glimpse of how this program might work can
be seen at the website
www.ildacertified.com. The program is NOT active, but the website
gives an idea of some concepts that could be used.
-
"ILDA Certified Laser Show Operator"
This program certifies that an individual has the
knowledge to safely operate a laser show. It is somewhat similar to the
New York State Code 50 test, although it focuses only on laser shows
rather than lasers in general. Competency would be demonstrated by a
test.
-
Other programs ILDA Members have expressed an interest in other
programs, such as for parts suppliers (quality control, etc.) and for
laser show specialists (show programmers, artists, etc.). These programs
would be developed by interested volunteers and would be overseen by the
Executive Director and Board.
