Audiences
Primmel serves five distinct audiences. Each has a different relationship to the standard, different tools, and different goals.
The same five roles recur throughout: in the language, in the platform (the platform page), and in each program, OIML SMART names them issuing authorities, test laboratories, applicants, scheme operators, and NMIs (the NMI section).
The five audiences
| Audience | Role | What they do |
|---|---|---|
| Publishers | Standards bodies, consortia, regulators | Author and publish reference models |
| Readers | Consumers, evaluators | Read, interact with, and evaluate a published standard |
| Implementers | Organisations | Adopt, import, customize, and map an implementation |
| Operators | Production users | Run the implementation and store evidence |
| Auditors | Compliance verifiers | Navigate the standard, correlate via maps, view evidence |
How they relate
The Auditor role is notable: it inherits capabilities from both
Readers (standard navigation) and Operators (evidence viewing), and
adds its own distinct skill, correlating across .prm mappings.
Tools built for Readers and Operators can be reused by Auditors without modification.
