List of AWS certified sites

Total Number of Certified sites: 55

As of 24 October 2019

Self-Verification

Effective October 14, 2019, AWS will discontinue the Self Verification option for demonstrating conformance to the AWS Standard.  After that date, only third-party certification will be an acceptable option for declaring conformance using AWS Claims procedures.  

Sites currently in the Self Verification option will be permitted to complete their cycles as defined in the Self Verification Protocol (maximum of two years).  Sites not yet in the option but who register before October 14, 2019 will be permitted to complete up to two years, but ending no later than December 31, 2021.  

The AWS Technical Committee is exploring other approaches to encourage smaller sites and organizations that wish to conform and declare conformance, but do not have the resources to pursue third-party certification.  

Until 14th October 2019, AWS allowed a site to do an internal assessment of their compliance with the AWS standard and make a claim about their performance based on this. Note that self-verification is not the same as certification. Self-certified sites may reach a high standard of water stewardship performance but as they are self-verified these can never carry the same perception of credibility to external stakeholders as an independently assessed, verified and certified site by a third party Conformity Assessment Body (see Service Providers).

Self-verifications expire twelve months after the date of issuance and implementers must renew self-verifications before expiry to continue to make AWS claims and to remain on the list of organizations published on the AWS website.
