Suspension is defined as what?

Suspension is defined as what?

• A. A sanction resulting in the temporary forfeiture of PCB certification for a period of time to be determined by the PCB Ethics Committee.
• B. A permanent revocation of PCB certification.
• C. A private written warning.
• D. A requirement to complete additional training.

Answer: (A)

Suspension means a temporary forfeiture of the PCB certification for a defined period set by the PCB Ethics Committee. During that time, the certificate holder cannot practice or claim certification, but the action is not permanent and reinstatement is possible after the period ends. This distinguishes suspension from permanent revocation, which ends the certification altogether, and from a private written warning or a requirement to complete additional training, which are corrective actions that do not involve removing the credential for a period of time.
