Personnel Competency Standards
The MMSx/IMSO/TE 1369 family defines competencies, knowledge, skills, and performance criteria for professionals. These are the basis for ISO/IEC 17024–aligned certifications operated by BFS.
Example citation format: MMSx/IMSO/TE 1369–S101 (v1.0)
- S101 Fitness Therapist Standards — exercise as medicine, assessments, biomechanics advanced learning, TOT, TOC, etc. View IMSO
- S102 Fitness Trainer Standards — baseline safety, anatomy, program design, scope & ethics. View IMSO
- S103 MMSx Trainer (Biomechanics) — cue stacks, constraint models, error taxonomy. View IMSO
- S104 Rehab & Recovery Specialist — RTP criteria, load progressions, red-flag protocols. View IMSO
- S105 Strength & Conditioning Coach — meso/micro cycles, testing batteries, risk management. View IMSO
Equipment Design, Calibration & Safety
MMSx/IMSO/TE 2369 specifies design tolerances, biomechanics alignment, calibration procedures, and safety windows for commercial and clinical equipment. BFS can accredit manufacturers, labs, and gyms to these standards.
Example citation format: MMSx/IMSO/TE 2369–S203 (v1.1)
- S201 Flat Bench Press — pad friction, height, footprint, anchor & spotting zones. View IMSO
- S202 Cable Cross Machine — pulley ratios, symmetry, handle path constraints. View IMSO
- S203 Squat Rack — J-cup tolerances, safeties, deflection limits, anchoring. View IMSO
- S204 Treadmill Safety — belt speed accuracy, emergency stop, guard rails. View IMSO
- S205 Barbells & Collars — knurl bands, sleeve spin, load tolerance labeling. View IMSO
Exercise & Assessment Protocols
MMSx/IMSO/TE 3369 defines standardized methods with instrumentation, timing, scoring, and reporting formats for reproducible results across sites.
- S301 Squat Assessment Protocol — joint stacking, GRF windows, error taxonomy. View IMSO
- S302 30cm Drop Landing — timing, force thresholds, valgus index scoring. View IMSO
- S303 Shoulder RTP Protocol — criteria-based progression with test gates. View IMSO
- S304 Youth Movement Screen — age-band norms, safety flags, referral rules. View IMSO
- S305 Hypertrophy Mesocycle Template — volume landmarks, deload triggers. View IMSO
Technology & Data Standards (TrainersEye)

Applied Nutrition & Safety
MMSx/IMSO/TE 5369 outlines evidence thresholds, labeling rules, and risk controls for applied performance nutrition in sport and clinical settings.
- S501 Protein Timing (Strength) — dosing windows by phase; safety notes. View IMSO
- S502 Heat-Risk Hydration — protocols for WBGT bands; electrolyte targets. View IMSO
- S503 Creatine Quality & Labeling — purity tests; claim substantiation. View IMSO
- S504 Youth Athlete Nutrition — growth-safety constraints; referral flags. View IMSO
- S505 Energy Availability Monitoring — risk thresholds; monitoring cadence. View IMSO
Ecosystem & Application
Standards are authored by MMSx and preserved via IMSO. TrainersEye maintains technology criteria. BFS implements these standards through ISO/IEC 17024–aligned certification and accreditation (including CPD). Manufacturers, labs, gyms, and educators can be accredited to applicable standards; individuals can be certified to 1369 personnel standards.
