As you all know, NEBB has gone through a new process to check each firm’s instruments during the recertification cycle. No longer will a firm add instruments to its Certelligence profile while they are recertifying. Instead, a percentage of firms will be randomly selected every year to have an Instrument Verification performed through ShareFile.
If your firm is selected, your firm’s Dedicated Certified Professional (DCP), along with the Chapter Technical Committee Chair and Chapter Coordinator will receive a notification from the NEBB Technical Director through ShareFile informing you that your firm has been chosen.
Upon receiving the ShareFile notification, the firm DCP will be required to submit calibration certificates and specification sheets for the firm-owned instruments in accordance with the procedural standard for each discipline the firm holds. The firm will provide this information by uploading all documents to the ShareFile provided. If your firm holds every discipline, you would right-click on each discipline to bring up the instruments for which you need to upload certification certificates and specification sheets.
If your Firm only holds TAB Certification, you will find the TAB folder in your ShareFile and that is where you will be able to upload your information by dragging and dropping all required items into each folder.
The Chapter Technical Committee Chairman will monitor these files and upon completion of the upload, a member of the Technical Committee will review the submission. If the submission meets all the requirements, they will email the Technical Director to let him know that all is good. If the submission does not meet the requirements, the firm will be contacted via email and informed of what needs to be done to meet the requirements until the submission passes.
Once this process is complete, the firm DCP will receive the following email:
Hello,
Thank you for submitting your instruments to the NEBB ShareFile for verification in the 2023 cycle. After review by your Chapter Technical Committee, your submission has been approved and will be added to your Certelligence portal as final.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call the office, or email me.

Thank you,

So far, the 2023 recertification cycle has gone smoothly. By December 1, 2022, 89 percent of the randomly selected firms had uploaded their instruments, and 69 percent of the firms had been reviewed and finalized. I’d like to thank the Chapter Technical Chairmen and their committee for taking the time to review and finalize the submissions and the Chapter Coordinators for helping to move this process along.
