General enquiries
What is IAAF?
The Impact Assessment Accreditation Forum (IAAF) is a Section 8 not-for-profit that administers the Impact Report Accreditation Standard — a nine-principle framework for evaluating the credibility of impact assessment reports. We offer a progressive accreditation pathway from free AI benchmarking to full independent accreditation.
What are the four accreditation levels?
Level 1 — Benchmarking (free): AI principle-by-principle scores, emailed when ready. Level 2 — Detailed Review: AI-generated feedback reviewed by IAAF. Level 3 — Methodology Accreditation: expert review of Principles 3 & 4. Level 4 — Full Accreditation: committee review of all nine principles with public comment. See the Accreditation pathway for full details.
How much does accreditation cost?
Level 1 benchmarking is free. Level 2 is ₹7,000 per report. Level 3 is ₹20,000. Level 4 is ₹40,000. Pricing and deliverables are listed on the Accreditation page.
Does accreditation endorse my project or outcomes?
No. IAAF accreditation confirms the credibility and integrity of the assessment process for a specific report and time period. It does not validate the magnitude of reported outcomes, guarantee causal attribution, or endorse the project itself. See what accreditation means.
Submission support
What file format can I submit?
We accept PDF files only, up to 25 MB. Upload your complete impact assessment report through the form on the Accreditation page.
What happens after I upload my report?
Level 1 runs automatically — you receive your benchmark grid within a few minutes (keep the page open or check your email). Levels 2–4 are stored for IAAF review; our team will contact you at the email you provided to confirm next steps.
Why is my email required?
For Level 1 and Level 2, we need your email to deliver results. For Levels 3 and 4, it allows our team to coordinate the accreditation process with you. We do not sell or share your contact details. See our Privacy & Security policy.
Can I use Level 1 results externally?
Level 1 and Level 2 outputs are for internal organisational use only. They must not be presented as formal IAAF accreditation or used in external communications. Only Level 3 and Level 4 outcomes may be publicly disclosed, as stated for each level.
How long does each level take?
Level 1: typically within a few hours — we email you when your benchmark is ready (or check Submission history if signed in). Level 2: within one week (IAAF-reviewed). Level 3: 1–2 weeks. Level 4: approximately 45 days including public comment, committee review, and revision periods.
My assessment failed or timed out — what should I do?
If the page times out, your submission may still be processing — we will email you when ready. If you received an error, try uploading again or contact us with your reference number (shown after upload) via the form above.
