New Lexcel Processes and Timescales

The Lexcel Office have made a number of changed to timescales related to Lexcel assessment.

  • Missing application data deadline - From 1 March 2012, practices will have 3 weeks from receipt of the email requesting additional information to support their Lexcel application to send this information to the Lexcel Office. The application will be returned if the additional information is not received within the deadline.
  • Approval to proceed to assessment for initial applications - From 1 March 2012, initial applications will have 3 months from the date of the proceed letter to have their assessment conducted rather than the present 9 months.
  • Corrective action duration for initial applications - Any initial assessments carried out from 1 March 2012, will have the same corrective action timeframes as accredited practices - 3 months for major non-compliances and 21 days for minor non-compliances.
