Process and Result of ASIIN Accreditation

Accreditation Process

The project accreditation process is as follows:

Preparation and Application
Universities submit an application form via email to the ASIIN office, accompanied by a curriculum overview for each study program. Upon receipt of the application, ASIIN forwards it to the relevant Technical Committee for review. Subsequently, the ASIIN office provides the university with a detailed quotation based on the Technical Committee's recommendations.

Self-Assessment Report and Preliminary Review
Next, the university prepares a self-assessment report according to the provided guidelines or templates. Prior to final submission, ASIIN offers a written pre-review or preliminary interview service to ensure the report's formal completeness.

Preparation and Execution of On-Site Visit (Audit)
Based on the Technical Committee's recommendations, ASIIN forms an expert team and collaborates with the university to plan the on-site visit.

Report Drafting
Following the audit, the ASIIN office prepares a report. The university then has the opportunity to comment on this report.

ASIIN Committee Processing and Conclusion
After receiving the university's feedback, experts issue a final statement and recommendations to the Technical Committee and the Accreditation Committee. Subsequently, the relevant Technical Committee and Accreditation Committee review the entire process. Finally, the Accreditation Committee makes the final decision. Upon completion of the review, the university receives a report containing the final decision.

Accreditation Results

The validity period of ASIIN accreditation is limited. The initial accreditation, with the award of any seal, is valid for five years; subsequent renewals are valid for seven years. Moreover, the calculation of the validity period is always based on the regulations of the awarding body.

The accreditation process may yield the following outcomes:

Unconditional Accreditation: The program receives unconditional accreditation for the entire accreditation period.

Accreditation with Reservations: This refers to accreditation with specific requirements, resulting in a validity period shorter than the maximum allowed by the accreditation process. In this case, certain specific requirements must be met by a specified date. If these requirements are fulfilled on time, the accreditation will be extended to the maximum allowed period. The completion of these requirements is inspected and evaluated by the review team and the responsible Technical Committee, and confirmed by the Accreditation Committee. The regulations of the awarding body regarding the imposition of requirements also apply. If necessary, the ASIIN office will provide detailed information on the applicable conditions.

Program Suspension ("Program Loop"): If the process reveals unmet requirements but the applying institution is expected to resolve them during the suspension period, the Accreditation Committee may suspend the accreditation process once. When deciding to suspend the process, the Accreditation Committee also stipulates the conditions that must be met for the process to resume. The decision to suspend the process can be made either at the institution's request or initiated by ASIIN. If additional visits are required for program resumption, the applicant may incur additional costs. The regulations of the awarding body regarding program suspension also apply. If necessary, the ASIIN office will provide detailed information on the applicable conditions.

Accreditation Denial: If the requirements for awarding the seal are not adequately met, accreditation may be denied. In this case, if the application was for the seal of the German Accreditation Council, the Council will be notified. The regulations of the awarding body regarding accreditation denial also apply. If necessary, the ASIIN office will provide detailed information on the applicable conditions.

Accreditation Effectiveness

Professional degrees accredited by ASIIN are recognized in the European Union, Australia, South America, China, Japan, and other countries, enabling graduates to work as engineers in these regions. According to the ASIIN official website, 6,691 study programs and 376 institutions have currently been accredited.

ASIIN认证的流程和结果 Process and Result

认证流程

项目认证流程如下：

1.准备和申请

大学通过电子邮件向ASIIN办公室提交申请表，并附上每个学习项目的课程概览。收到申请后，ASIIN会将其转交给相关技术委员会审议。随后，ASIIN办公室基于技术委员会的建议为大学提供一份详细的报价。

2.自我评估报告和初步审查

接下来，大学根据提供的指南或模板准备自我评估报告。在最终提交之前，ASIIN将提供书面预审或预先访谈服务，以确保报告的形式完整无缺。

3.现场访问（审核）的准备与执行

ASIIN根据技术委员会的建议组建一个专家团队，并与大学合作规划现场访问。

4.报告起草

审核之后，ASIIN办公室准备一份报告。然后，大学有机会对此报告发表评论。

5.ASIIN委员会处理及结论

收到大学的反馈后，专家们会出具最终声明和建议给技术委员会及认证委员会。接下来，相关的技术委员会和认证委员会将审议整个流程。最后，由认证委员会做出终审决定。审议完成后，大学将收到包含最终决策的报告。

认证结果

ASIIN认证的有效期是有限的。初次认证获得任一印章的有效期为五年；随后的续认证有效期为七年。此外，有效期限的计算始终基于授予印章机构的规定。

认证程序可能有以下几种结果：

1. 无条件认证：在整个认证期内获得无条件认证。

2. 附带保留的认证：即带有要求的认证，因此其有效期比认证程序允许的最大期限短。在这种情况下，有某些具体要求必须在规定日期前满足。如果这些要求按时达成，认证将延长至允许的最长期限。要求的完成情况由评审团队和负责的技术委员会（Technical Committee）检查和评估，并由认证委员会确认。授予机构关于施加要求的规定同样适用。如有必要，ASIIN办公室将提供有关需应用条件的详细信息。

3. 程序暂停（“程序循环”）：如果程序显示仍有未满足的要求，但申请机构有望在暂停期间解决问题，认证委员会可以一次暂停认证程序。在决定暂停程序时，认证委员会还会规定恢复程序所需满足的条件。暂停程序的决定可以在机构请求或ASIIN主动发起的情况下做出。如果程序恢复需要额外访问，申请人可能需要承担额外费用。授予机构关于暂停程序的规定同样适用。如有必要，ASIIN办公室将提供有关需应用条件的详细信息。

4. 拒绝认证：如果未能充分满足授予印章的要求，则可能会拒绝认证。在这种情况下，如果申请的是德国认证委员会的印章，德国认证委员会将被通知。授予机构关于拒绝认证的规定同样适用。如有必要，ASIIN办公室将提供有关需应用条件的详细信息。

认证效力

通过ASIIN认证的专业学位在欧盟、澳大利亚、南美、中国、日本等国获得承认，其毕业生具备在上述国家作为工程师工作的资格。根据ASIIN官网，当前已有6691个学习项目、376个机构通过认证。
