Certifications can be revoked or suspended with a documented reason and without a formal investigation. LHATF uses signed attestations to ensure that certificants understand and agree to certification policies. When a suspension is issued, it must be rectified within a specified timeframe to prevent revocation. Reinstatement of certification can be accomplished by a certificant by submission of compliance within the specified timeframe. The action of revocation of certification occurs when there is failure to maintain certification standards or engaging in unprofessional conduct. Certificants whose certification has been revoked are ineligible to participate in the certification program in the future. During suspension and after revocation, the certification credentials shall not be used..
