Keep Your Certification Up to Date

The field of hazardous materials management changes rapidly. For that reason, accreditation standards require that certification in such fields be renewed periodically. To be an effective CHMM, you need to stay current on developments in the industry. To make sure this happens, IHMM requires you to be recertified every five years.

You must recertify according to the schedule based on your initial certification or last recertification date. To meet this requirement, you must either:

Submit documentation of your employment and professional development activities for your 5-year cycle, or

Take the CHMM exam again.

There is a fee of $75 for recertification processing, due with your submission. Once received, your submission will be processed in 6-8 weeks. If you choose to take the CHMM exam instead, you must submit an updated resume and pay the examination fee (currently $250).
