ÒõAPPµ¼º½ Fee Increase

March 4, 2024

Effective April 1, 2024, CWB ÒõAPPµ¼º½ will be increasing our certification fees and rates for general services. The average price increase on our services and rates is 3.5%, which reflects increases in CWB ÒõAPPµ¼º½â€™s costs due in part to inflationary pressures, increased supplier costs, and resource shortages.  

All invoices issued on or after this date will reflect this new pricing.

CWB ÒõAPPµ¼º½ strives for a cost-recovery model with prices significantly below industry standards. The impact on our most common fees/rates is as follows:
