Certifying Inspections
FCI uses trained, professional Certifying Agents ("Agents"). Agents are authorized to determine whether a facility is in compliance with the program's rules and grant an interim facility certification in writing at the end of the inspection, subject to review by FCI. Also, the Agent may withhold certification subject to such changes as are suggested by the Agent and agreed to by the firm, in which case, a reinspection may be necessary. Additional inspections may require additional fees, subject to the details and time, which the reinspection requires. FCI retains the final authority to grant or deny facility certification.
