Since the start of the International Umpires (IU) certification in 1973, the ITTF has qualified over 3000 IU's. It has set a minimum standard for umpires of all Associations, which have different training methods with no uniform standard of performance.

Since 2002, the Umpires and Referees Committee (URC) of the ITTF has taken an important step towards one of its major objectives:

"To raise and level the standard and consistency of umpires from all Associations/ Federations".

Blue Badge is the highest award for an umpire.
