What does “conditional” mean?
The coronavirus pandemic changed a number of procedures for AISC Certification--with major implications for new applicants. The initial certification process involves an in-person site audit; we suspended those for safety reasons in 2020.

Companies granted conditional certification have fulfilled part of the application process but have not yet had the site audit. They have, however, successfully met AISC Certification program requirements through a remote assessment of the documentation-based aspects of their quality management systems. 

As AISC Certification resumes in-person site audits and completes the full review and approval process, companies with conditional certification will be granted full certification status or withdrawn from the program.
