Veriforce CHAS accreditation via ARCA

ARCA offers asbestos removal members cost-efficient routes to CHAS accreditation.

ARCA members are eligible for a discount on CHAS Standard, CHAS Advanced and CHAS Elite packages.

CHAS Elite

As an ARCA Full Contracting Member, you will be eligible for a 20% discount when making a new application for the CHAS Elite accreditation.

This can result in a significant saving!

Also, as ARCA members you can gain a 10% discount when renewing your CHAS Elite accreditation.

The Common Assessment Standard (CAS) accreditation was designed to standardise the prequalification process, helping both clients and contractors improve supply chain efficiency, reduce supply chain risks, and find reliable business opportunities.

To apply and receive the discount, first call ARCA on 01283 505765 for a discount code and then you can submit a new application or renewal via an ARCA/CHAS webpage, or contact Veriforce CHAS on 0345 5219111.

CHAS Advanced

ARCA Full Contracting Members are eligible for a 20% discount when making a new application for CHAS Advanced, and a 10% discount when renewing this accreditation.

As well as covering health and safety, this package also includes assessments on areas such as financial standing and quality management. Information on all the areas covered by this package is available on the CHAS website.

To apply and receive the discount, first call ARCA on 01283 505765 for a discount code and then you can submit a new application or renewal via an ARCA/CHAS webpage or contact Veriforce CHAS on 0345 5219111.

CHAS Standard

ARCA Full Contracting members can obtain a 20% discount when applying for a new CHAS Standard accreditation and a 10% discount on a renewal.

The online application process includes a declaration, and documentation will need to be uploaded as evidence to support the application. Please note that all sections must be completed for a successful submission. An ARCA Member User Guide, which provides a step-by-step guide through the CHAS Standard application process and guidance on supporting evidence, is available in the ARCA Members’ portal. Once the application is submitted a CHAS assessor will then audit the documentation prior to CHAS accreditation confirmation.

What is the cost to an ARCA Member?

When applying for CHAS Standard, organisations need to confirm total number of employees (office and site staff), as the cost of accreditation is banded. Information on the costs for all bands is available on the Veriforce CHAS website.

ARCA members can obtain a 20% discount, available across all bandings, when applying for a new accreditation and a 10% discount on a renewal.
