RSB Certification Application

Thank you for your interest in applying for RSB Certification.

Over the next few pages, you will be asked information about your organisation and operation. This will help to define the scope of your certification and open the pathway into the RSB system.

The final step of this form asks you to agree to RSB's Participating Operator Agreement. We recommend that you download, review and save it now.

You can save and come back to your application later if you need to.

Please note that your application is valid for a duration of 12 months. If you are not certified within this period, you will have to submit a new application

The detailed certification process is available online.

Briefly:

1. Apply online

2. Pay the application fee (billed to you within 7 days of application)

3. Public comments period commences (2 weeks)

4. Schedule your audit with an RSB-accredited certification body

5. Prepare for your audit – you may utilise a selection of pre-audit tools that are available online and will also be sent to you after application

6. Achieve certification.

Upon completion of the application, you will receive a welcome email that includes a list of the documents that will help you prepare for your audit.

Within 7 days of your application, you will receive an invoice for the $500 (USD) Application Fee that is payable by all operators entering the RSB system - this is a separate fee to the audit costs (which are billed separately by your auditor) and the annual licencing fee payable to RSB and determined by your type of operation and/or area or volume certified. For more information on fees, please see Schedule C of the Participating Operator Agreement.
