Neither does it automatically grant any rights to persons wishing to use their current qualification to gain a qualification with another agency/organization. Crossover requirements are entirely at the discretion of the agency/organization to which the person is applying.

Sports & Technical Standards

For many Countries they still still do not have standards for Sports Diving and generally International Standards are adopted from the Industry or Government Standards like UK HSE are widely considered to be of the highest standard as diving in the UK is regulated by law...  UK HSE vet and assess every training agency they approve to operate in the UK.  ITDA has held UK HSE approval since 2005...

International Standards ISO 11121:2009, Recreational diving services – Requirements for introductory training programs to scuba diving, and ISO 11107:2009, Recreational diving services – Requirements for training programs on enriched air Nitrox (EAN) diving, answer the needs of this expanding market where competent training is essential.
