Apply for accreditation

To receive a Certificate of Authorization from the TSSA for your quality program, you must submit the following:

  • A completed Certificate of Authorization application form
  • Required deposit fee (as shown on the application form)
  • A copy of your company-approved Quality Program Manual
  • All applicable supporting documentation

Site survey

The TSSA confirms a survey date after all documents have been received in good order. A demonstration item on which the program can be seen in operation is also required at the time of the TSSA shop or field site survey. The demonstration item may be work in progress or a demonstration job manufactured specifically for the survey. This often requires TSSA Inspector involvement on the demonstration item before a site survey can be performed. Please check this with your local TSSA Inspector

Other information related to the Quality Program

The scope of non-nuclear quality programs must be maintained to the latest applicable codes and standards at all times. Nuclear quality programs allow the applicant to select a code effective date which may be earlier than the latest edition of the code or standard.
