Fees are made up of one or more standards—requirements that must be met before certification is granted.

ACCB works all the time. We use our extensive experience to help those who aim to:

1. New Applicant
2. Existing Accreditation Body

The costs of accreditation differ based on the following factors:
• Size of the body seeking accreditation
• The complexity of the organisation, as this will have an effect on assessment durations
• The number of sites from which services are offered
• The number of schemes and standards that the body wishes to be accredited for
• The technical scope that the body is seeking accreditation for, that is the number of technical sectors
• The number of countries that the body wishes to be accredited \

Once accredited, the annual fees and certificate fees will be charged. These are published through our accreditation manual, available to all applicant and accredited bodies.

The length of time that it will take to gain accreditation will be dependent on how well prepared the applicant is. The major issues that we encounter with applications that extend out the timeframes include:
• Poor quality documentation. As a document review against the accreditation requirements is undertaken prior to an on-site assessment poor documentation may mean that there are several non-conformities that need to be addressed before the application can be progressed.
• Lack of evidence of implementation of the structural requirements of the accreditation criteria. The criteria require particular structures to be formed, such as mechanisms to ensure impartiality. We often find that there is a lack of understanding around these requirements, and poor implementation.
• Lack of evidence implementation of procedures. This is often detected at the initial assessment, where practices and procedures just do not match, and so non-conformities are raised that need to be addressed before accreditation can be granted.
