Starting the Application Process
Fill out the Accreditation Agreement
This will create a free Accreditation Portal where you can view the status of your accreditation, upload documents, and more!
Don’t forget to get Certified Hygienic Testing!
Completing the Inspection Agreement
Now that the agreement has been submitted, HLAC will review it and assign an inspector. From there the inspector will work with you to schedule the best time for a visit.
After the Inspection
Once we receive the inspection report form from the inspector it will then be submitted to the Accreditation Subcommittees. Our Accreditation Committee is broken up into subcommittees in order to avoid any conflicts with competitors of any kind.
Once the subcommittee has reviewed the inspection report form, they will determine if there are items that need to be remediated or if the plant has been approved for accreditation.
If the plant has items to remediate HLAC will send the plant a remediation table with the failed standards. See Process Guide for more information on the remediation process.
