Scheme owner, who is not a Certification body, manages scheme and all tests.
Scheme for personnel certification is structured on computer-based examination where results and score of theoretical knowledge is checked by IT system.
Scheme does not contain any practical or oral tasks.
Does it mean that CB is not obligatory to have examiners and implement ISO/IEC 17024:2012 6.2.2?
Please, share ABs experience for assessment of CBs (ISO/IEC 17024) with e- assessment.

AI or computer- based system will have to be accepted in the short term.
those systems are created by individuals, the designers and therefore these persons have a role and that of the examiner to that extent. By this, the examiner is not completely out of the picture. Instead as the designer he/she is validating the system for the examination.
Examination covers preparation of the questions, answers, it is the full mechanism which involve the competencies of the examiner at some point even if at the exam stage, the examiner is not present.
Conclusion
At the end we do not need an examiner provided that examiners are involved in the design of the process at the validation stage in particular.
The CB does not need to have examiners, but examiners are needed at the validation stage.
