How often are accredited Registrars re–examined?
Accreditations are valid for four years. Surveillance audits are routinely conducted by ANAB six months after accreditation has been granted, and then on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the accreditation. A complete reassessment is required every four years. Additional audits may be performed if the Registrar wishes to extend the scope of accreditation to cover additional industry sectors or to participate in certain specialty fields.
