Voluntary Surrenders

A Diplomate may, for any reason, relinquish their certification when they no longer wish to remain in Active status, unless they are involved in an ABIH ethics case.  The Voluntary Surrender terms are as follows.

A Diplomate who surrenders their certification:

  • Can continue to practice IH
  • Can use the ABIH certification designations only when referencing the years of active certification, e.g., Certified Industrial Hygienist, 1990-2009
  • Cannot use the ABIH embossing seal or stamp
  • Is removed from the ABIH email distribution list
  • Is relieved of CM requirements and fees
  • Can reactivate at any time
  • Is subject to ABIH ethics case procedure provisions if found to be in violation of the voluntary surrender terms
