After the Survey

If your organization receives RFIs, you’ll have 60 days to submit evidence showing that you’re in full compliance with those standards. Once your RFIs have been reviewed and accepted, your accreditation decision will be granted, effective the last day of your survey and is valid for approximately three years. For organizations undergoing its initial survey, the effective date would be the date of submission of the acceptable evidence of standards compliance (ESC) report.

If your organization doesn’t receive any RFIs, the accreditation decision becomes effective the last day of your survey and is valid for approximately three years.

If your organization receives RFIs, before you can get an accreditation decision, you’ll need to submit an acceptable evidence of standards compliance (ESC) report. You will work directly with your account executive to submit your ESC report.
