| Withdrawn / Suspended / Inactive Help |
| Withdrawn |
An accredited organization may have its accreditation withdrawn voluntarily
(i.e. organization decides to terminate accreditation) or by ACLASS.
Accreditations withdrawn by ACLASS typically occur following suspension
and as a result of the organizations failure to meet the conditions set
forth for the removal of suspension. |

| Suspended |
An accredited organization may be suspended if it persistently fails to meet
ACLASS requirements, fails to adequately respond to requests from ACLASS,
assessment findings cause question regarding the technical competence of
the organization, failure to pay all fees owed to ACLASS, or obvious
violations against the ACLASS requirements for accreditation. Typically,
specific conditions must be met for suspension to be lifted. |
| |
| Inactive |
An organization may be made inactive as a result of a re-location of their
laboratory, personnel changes, ownership changes, etc., that may cause the
organization to not meet the ACLASS requirements for accreditation.
Inactive status usually applies to organizations where unpredictable
circumstances occur. Inactive status typically lasts no longer than one year. |
