What is Revocation?

What is Revocation?

• A. A sanction resulting in the complete and permanent forfeiture of PCB certification.
• B. A sanction resulting in the temporary forfeiture of PCB certification for a period of time to be determined by the PCB Ethics Committee.
• C. A formal, private, non-published letter of warning to the Respondent.
• D. A reprimand with conditions for reinstatement.

Answer: (A)

Revocation means the certification is withdrawn permanently; the credential is permanently forfeited and the individual can no longer practice or use the certification. It is the most severe sanction, intended for serious violations or not meeting ongoing standards. This differs from a temporary suspension (which withdraws the credential for a set period), a private warning letter (which is informal and non-published), or a reprimand with conditions for reinstatement (which leaves the credential in place but with requirements to regain full status).
