What the Surveyor does
The Surveyor plans and leads formal accreditation surveys on behalf of ASF. Unlike the Monitor — who works inside a continuous annual cycle with a single facility — the Surveyor is deployed to conduct a structured, time-limited survey of a facility’s compliance with ASF standards, resulting in a scored report and a formal recommendation to the Accreditation Decision Committee (ADC). The ADC makes the final accreditation decision; the Surveyor’s role is to provide complete, objective findings.
Surveyors are active across both ASF pathways: full ASF Accreditation (Surveyor-led, ADC-decided) and ASF Certification (delivered through National Accreditation Partners, lower thresholds).
