Costs of Accreditation

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 and
• The number of countries that the body wishes to be accredited for.

These factors will affect the number and type of assessments to be undertaken during the initial assessment and for ongoing surveillance.

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.
