Once your facility has submitted the online application and uploaded the corresponding materials, the IAC will begin the process of reviewing the completed application and rendering a decision.

Application Review

Upon an application’s submission to the IAC office, it is imported into the database, enabling the IAC to begin the internal review process. The application review process generally takes approximately 8 to 10 weeks to complete, at which time the decision is provided to the facility*.

*For expedited applications, ensure that all documentation and images are received by the IAC within two business days after final submission of the application.

Accreditation Decisions

After the review process has been completed, the facility will be notified of the accreditation decision [Grant, Conditional Grant*, Delay, Deny] via a notification letter that may be downloaded from the Online Accreditation portal.

In addition to the documentation provided in the Online Accreditation portal, facilities that are granted accreditation receive a Certificate & Marketing Kit, shipped the attention of the appointed Technical Director**.
