You have the option of printing the entire list of registrars from this directory. You can also search the directory by registrar name and location. The IS is expected to be published in the fourth quarter of 2000. RAB accreditation auditors evaluate a prospective registrar s written policies and procedures, including the credentials of its auditors. If they are acceptable, the RAB audit team performs a rigorous on-site examination of the registrar s internal operations and then witnesses the registrar conducting a complete supplier audit.
Accreditations are valid for four years.
Surveillance audits are routinely conducted by RAB six months after accreditation has been granted, and then on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the accreditation. A complete reassessment is required every four years. Additional audits may be performed if the registrar wishes to extend the scope of accreditation to cover additional industry sectors, or to participate in certain specialty fields. Each registrar is required to have a system for handling complaints. RAB evaluates the operation of the complaint system during its surveillance audits.
