The expected time for applications to begin an engineering technical assessment can be found below. Full accreditation typically takes a further 2 to 6 months, depending on application completeness.
How we're improving processing times
Safety takes time. Here's what we're doing to improve application processing times without cutting corners.
Since being reappointed by the Clean Energy Regulator as the product accrediting body in October 2024, we have implemented the following improvements:
- expanded our team of engineering specialists and administrators
- introduced an initial review step to ensure all relevant documentation has been provided to support each application
- increased transparency about application progress and wait times
- streamlined internal processes for greater efficiency
We will continue to seek improvements to our processes to improve processing times.
To help expedite the assessment process, applicants should use the application checklists to ensure that all required documentation is complete and current, including warranties, manuals, data sheets, test reports, and certificates.
