Specialty Accreditation
Independent accreditation for high-risk and technically complex systems where ordinary program accreditation may not fully address the operating risk.
Choose by the system or service you want independently reviewed.
Compare specialty pathways with the five core accreditation options before starting an eligibility and scope inquiry.
Eligibility and scope inquiries are accepted year-round. Each specialty pathway uses CORE-100 plus the applicable specialty accreditation standard. Eligibility and scope are confirmed before fees begin.
Focused assurance for systems where failure can have outsized consequences.
These programs evaluate defined organizational systems, not individual practitioners. The specialty standard adds subject-specific controls, evidence expectations and performance review to the organization-wide CORE requirements.
Published requirements
Every specialty standard is available in full before an organization applies.
Evidence-based review
Review examines implementation records, operational evidence, interviews and tracers, not policy text alone.
Independent decisions
Technical reviewers develop findings; an independent decision body determines accreditation status.
Public verification
Only a final status published in the official CHSPS public verification authorizes an accreditation claim or mark.

For organizations that select, integrate, operate or rely on AI within their own workflows.
Integrated Lifecycle
