Join as a Registered Organisation

The Registered Organisation scheme is a unique quality assurance programme. It signifies a commitment to maintaining professional standards and competence.

Archaeological projects are complex. Registered Organisations have demonstrated their ability to carry out work effectively and act ethically while adhering to professional standards. Registered Organisations:

  • have the skills to provide informed and reliable advice
  • have the skills to execute schemes of work appropriate to the circumstances, minimising uncertainty, delay and cost
  • regularly review their practices and procedures to ensure they are working to industry standards as part of the scheme’s peer review process

The scheme is designed to operate internationally, and organisations operating in Germany may use an alternative branding ‘Gütezeichen für Archäologie / Träger des CIfA-Gütezeichens für Archäologie'.
