meet all of the requirements published in the division Standards. Additional application information will be
required and additional fees will apply.
D. For multiple site applications:
i. All correspondence will go through the address listed on the Accreditation Agreement.
ii. Each site may be granted accreditation independently based on adherence to the Standards.
iii. Certificates are provided to each site granted accreditation and each site is published on the IAC
division website.
iv. In general, the site with the highest testing volumes will be named as the main site. However, this may
vary based upon the operational structure of the facility.
E. Multiple sites are not required to apply for identical testing areas. Each multiple site may apply only for the
examinations that are performed at the site.
F.
An accredited facility may add an additional site at any time during the period when accreditation is valid
by completing the multiple site application supplement and submitting the required additional fees. If
granted, all of the sites will expire at the time of the original accreditation decision.
