ISCB's accreditation activities are principally funded by fees charged for application, assessment, decision, surveillance and related accreditation services. Funding arrangements do not determine assessment findings or accreditation decisions.
Fee-funded operations
Applicants and accredited bodies pay fees associated with the resources required to deliver accreditation services. Quotations are based on scope, locations, technical complexity, assessment time and specialist resources.
Independence of decisions
Payment of a fee creates no entitlement to accreditation. Assessment findings are based on objective evidence, and accreditation decisions follow ISCB's defined impartial review and decision process.
Impartiality safeguards
ISCB identifies, reviews and manages financial and other threats to impartiality. Personnel involved in assessment and decision-making are required to disclose and manage conflicts of interest.
Transparency
Applicable fees and payment stages are communicated before work proceeds. ISCB does not describe grants, donations or other funding sources unless they are current, documented and authorised for publication.
