Company Member Requirements

The applying company must qualify as an independent commissioning firm. To qualify as independent, a commissioning company must have no affiliation with manufacturers of equipment or system components, general or installing contractors, or any other person or company which could affect the ability of the member to render an independent commissioning report. The applying company agrees to perform work in accordance with the ACG Commissioning Guideline, and to abide by the bylaws of the organization.

The company must employ at least one individual who meets the prerequisites for certification as an ACG Certified Commissioning Authority (CxA).

The applying company shall file a completed application for membership. The ACG Member Company Application should be accompanied by at least one CxA Application.

If you are currently certified as a Certified Commissioning Authority, and would like your new company to join as an ACG Member, you will need to submit the ACG Member Company Application form along with your CxA Reverification application.

For more information about certification, please refer to the CxA Candidate Handbook.

The applicant must submit all required documentation, pay all dues and fees to ACG Headquarters, and meet all requirements of membership, before membership will be granted. All membership applications are subject to review and approval by the ACG Board of Directors.
