Important Information Regarding Accreditation Criteria
The IFSAC Certificate Assembly Criteria for Certificate Accreditation with Basis for Judgment Statements has been revised and was approved by the Certificate Assembly membership April 8, 2017. The new criteria is fully effective June 1, 2018. IFSAC Certificate Assembly members having a site visit for accreditation or reaccreditation prior to June 1, 2018, may use either the previous edition of the criteria and the site visit worksheets for the criteria, both dated September 2016, or the new criteria approved April 8, 2017. Certificate Assembly members having a site visit June 1, 2018, or later must use and submit the new criteria document that was approved April 8, 2017. Note that separate worksheets will not be used with the new criteria as checkboxes and information/comment boxes required to be completed have been merged into the criteria document as part of the recent revision.
