In the first instance, a company or organisation which wishes to apply for ISAS Accreditation or change its current accreditation status should make contact with the ISAS Scheme Manager via info@isasaccreditation.org or through the ISAS website www.isas-accreditation.org.uk.

All companies/organisations wishing to apply for ISAS Accreditation must meet the scheme Qualifying criteria.
These include:
- Having insurance in place appropriate to response activities and project size.
- Demonstration of Health and Safety Policy & Procedures

When the scope of the accreditation application has been determined, the Scheme Manager will then arrange for visits to operational bases to verify stated capabilities and make an assessment of capacity and competency.
The applicant will be advised whether their application has been successful and, if so, what level of accreditation has been awarded
