The application fee is £250 + VAT and is due on application. This is for the initial review of technical documentation and site visit and will be refundable if the application does not meet the membership criteria. Associate members, who have not yet achieved accreditation to ISO IEC 17020 and full membership will be required to be assessed on a regular basis (normally every two years) for which a site visit and continuation assessment fee of £250 + VAT will be due.

Notes:
  • 'Turnover' is defined as the income received from inspection, certification, and testing of engineering and manufacturing plant, machinery and equipment by the company for the 12 month period that is the subject of the 'Last Published Accounts'. This includes all work carried out under the company name including subcontracted work, work carried out by consultants, other individuals or companies.

  • If the last published accounts represent a period less than 365 days 'turnover' the subscription fee will be calculated on an annualised basis.
