Relation to the GCBoK
The GCC is the publisher of the GCBoK. The normative authority of the GCBoK underpins the non-profit status of the GCC:
- § 52 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 AO (Science and Research) - GCBoK as a scientific reference work
- § 52 Abs. 2 Nr. 7 AO (Vocational Training) - GCBoK as a teaching and structural work
- ISO/IEC 24773 - BoK structure as a basis for certification schemes
Maintaining an ISO-compliant standard is a highly complex, scientific-structural task that demonstrates the non-profit status of the GCC.
