To maintain certification, an IBERA Diplomate must complete a recertification process every five years, in which it is demonstrated that requirements are still met. The philosophy of the recertification is that certified individuals demonstrate a continued excellence in environmental risk assessment and maintenance of expertise and scientific knowledge. Successful achievement of these goals will result in an individual maintaining recognition as a Diplomate of IBERA.

Following its constitution, an IBERA Diplomate should meet the following requirements:

1. PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY: be professionally active in the field of Environmental Risk Assessment.
2. CONTINUING EDUCATION: demonstrate that they remain up to date with developments in the field of Environmental Risk Assessment by being regularly involved in professional education, by either receiving, providing or organizing education.

• IBERA Diplomate must complete the online application. Applications are only accepted online via the application portal.
• After submitting your application, you will be contacted to pay the recertification fee. Reviewing of recertification dossiers starts once payment has been received.
• Only complete dossiers will be reviewed, and it’s the responsibility of the IBERA Diplomate to ensure timely receipt of all required documentation.
• The application deadline this year is Wednesday, October 1, 2025

To start your application for recertification, you will be asked to log in to your account on setac.org.
