ISO 22398:2013 recommends good practice and guidelines for an organization to plan, conduct, and improve its exercise projects which may be organized within an exercise programme.

It is applicable to all organizations regardless of type, size or nature, whether private or public. The guidance can be adapted to the needs, objectives, resources, and constraints of the organization.

It is intended for use by anyone with responsibility for ensuring the competence of the organization's personnel, particularly the leadership of the organization, and those responsible for managing exercise programmes and exercise projects.
