TABB will consider and decide on contractor applications. Notice of TABB's decision will be sent to the applicant. If TABB makes a decision contingent on any required verifications (such as, for example, verification of ownership of required equipment and instruments, and maintenance of required calibrations), TABB may establish a deadline for all required verifications.
A contractor's failure to maintain any eligibility qualifications, as determined by TABB, will result in indefinite suspension of the contractor's TABB certification.
THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS
Application Procedures
The applicant must complete a contractor application form.
TABB will determine if the application is sufficient and appears to establish the contractor's eligibility for TABB certification, or if the application is deficient. If the application is deficient, TABB will notify the applicant. The applicant may correct the deficiencies by new application, or if the applicant disagrees, may make an Objection.
If the completed application indicates that the applicant meets eligibility requirements, a TABB representative may arrange a site visit.
Required Verifications
The contractor application form identifies written verifications that must be submitted with the application.
