Does an agency or person need to meet every accreditation and approval standard in order to maintain accreditation or approval?
Accredited agencies and approved persons should strive to satisfy every applicable standard. Less than full compliance with some standards may not result in loss of accreditation or approval, however. Accrediting entities will determine whether an applicant can maintain accreditation or approval by using a substantial compliance system approved by the Department of State, as outlined in section 96.27 of the accreditation regulations.
