13. How to Reclassify

The Auditor can apply for reclassification of approval status (move from "Provisional" to "Auditor," or

"Auditor" to "Lead Auditor") at any time. If/when an Auditor or auditing company or EICC Member

Company wants to reclassify the Auditor, they must complete the required application and pay the

associated processing fee. If the auditor is in good standing, and if they meet the requirements of the

newly requested classification, they will be approved in their new classification.

Their approval, however, is good for only two years from their last pre-approved EICC Code-related

training course or EICC Qualification Test. [NOTE: the approval is NOT valid from the time of

reclassification, but is based on the training date/EICC Qualification Test date.]
