The Accreditation Appeals Committee was established by the Board of Directors on 8 June 2003.

Composition:

Chair: Past-President.
Membership: Six P.Stat. members elected by the P.Stat. Membership of the SSC. The term of office is three years. One third are replaced each year.

The mandate of the committee is:

  • to review appeals of negative decisions by the Accreditation Committee
  • to strike a panel to investigate substantiated allegations of misconduct, ethical issues, and/or misuse of the trademark, and issue a preliminary ruling
