The IAER developed and implemented the first and only certification process designed exclusively to conduct third party audits of electronics recycling facilities to achieve the designation of Certified Electronics Recycler®.

The IAER established a formal process to certify electronics recyclers.

·  To support and promote high standards of environmental quality and regulatory compliance as well as high quality business practices in the electronics recycling industry.

· To serve the needs of customers and stakeholders to identify electronics recyclers that meet their requirements for reputable service providers.

· To provide an objective third party auditing process against a recognized industry standard.

      The IAER Certification Standard is a comprehensive set of requirements that reflect what preferred customers would expect of qualified suppliers.      

      Release 2.1 is a revised, enhanced and cost effective process for the certification of electronics recyclers – consistent with all of the key elements of the consensus requirements of “Best Management Practices” for electronics recyclers developed by an EPA-facilitated process with Stakeholder Groups.
