CHMM Recertification (Peer) Review ProcessCHMM recertification submissions are evaluated through a system of peer review, a process which takes 6-8 weeks from receipt of your materials. If your reviewer has any questions about your submission, he or she may contact you directly. To facilitate the process, please review the following notes:Fractional Points Fractional points should be added in computing the total, but may not be rounded upward before adding. Thus, credits of 2.75 CMPs in 2 subcategories total 5.5 CMPs, not 6. Redundant Activities Points for a given activity may be used in only one category. For example, courses that were part of a new degree cannot be counted again under professional development/college courses. Carryover Points Points apply only to the year in which they are earned. Extra points earned in one recertification cycle may not be carried over to the next cycle. Transmission All correspondence and documents relating to the recertification program must be sent to: Institute of Hazardous Materials Management Recertification Department 11900 Parklawn Drive, Suite 450 Rockville, MD 20852-2624 Fees The recertification fee shall be paid with the submission. If payment is not included,, the CHMM will be billed, and results will not be released until the fee has been paid. Reviewers The recertification submission will be reviewed by a CHMM Peer Reviewer. Any attempt to influence the recertification review shall be deemed a violation of the Code of Ethics. If the reviewer approves the application for recertification, he/she will advise the Institute, which will then issue a letter stating that the CHMM is qualified for recertification, provided that all financial obligations have been paid. When all requirements are met, a new certificate will be issued. Failure to Recertify If a CHMM does not demonstrate continuing proficiency by recertifying within deadlines set by the Institute office, his or her credential shall be revoked. A CHMM who cannot (or chooses not to) meet the recertification requirements through submission of documentation may recertify by passing a regularly scheduled CHMM examination. Payment of the examination fee is required. Deficient Applications If the recertification application is deemed not acceptable or deficient, the reviewer shall contact the CHMM and attempt to resolve the deficiencies. If, after this contact, the reviewer still recommends that the application be denied, the application will be returned to the Institute office for further review. If the CHMM does not respond to a reviewer's requests, or if the application remains deficient after Institute review, the CHMM will be notified in writing that his or her certification is to be revoked. Appeals The CHMM may appeal a negative decision to the Executive Director of the Institute. The appeal must be submitted within 60 days after the date on which the revocation notification.
