Request the Application to Become a CB

The CB should review the accreditation requirements for the ISASecure certification program for which you are interested in applying. If, after reviewing the accreditation requirements, you believe your organization can meet the requirements, complete the ISASecure-202 application and submit it to the ISASecure Managing Director. The ISASecure-202 application is a combined application and contract, including ISASecure fees for processing the application. The application must be signed by an authorized officer in your company.

Contact an Accreditation Body

The CB should contact one of the ISO/IEC 17011 AB’s listed below to plan and schedule the accreditation reviews. Each AB has their own fee schedule for the accreditation services.  The ISASecure managing director can help you select which AB to use for your accreditation assessment and make introductions if desired.

The AB Performs the Accreditation Assessment for the CB Applicant

Upon completion of the review by the AB, the CB will receive formal accreditation when all non-conformances have been corrected. Sometimes the formal accreditation certificate might not be issued for 6-12 months after the accreditation assessment activity has been completed because the AB’s accreditation committee only meets once or twice per year. ISASecure has a policy and a process for granting provisional accreditation prior to issuance of the formal accreditation by the AB.
