The CMRP exam is a thorough test of a broad scope of expertise measured against the universal standard. It was developed to assess professionals’ aptitude within the five pillars of the SMRP Body of Knowledge, which include: business and management, manufacturing process reliability, equipment reliability, organization and leadership, and work management.
The CMRP is accredited by ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB), formerly known as the American National Standard Institute (ANSI), an independent third-party organization that evaluates certification programs and organization requirements on a regular basis. The CMRP exam is the only certification program of its kind accredited by ANAB under the ISO/IEC 17024 standard. Visit anab.ansi.org to learn more about accreditation.
