Professional Standards Board
The Professional Standards Board is established by the Board of Trustees to advance the RSC’s strategy as a professional body and uphold the standards of qualification of those who practice chemistry as a profession. It advises the Board of Trustees on strategic developments in professional and employment practices. It is accountable, through regulations agreed by the Board of Trustees, for establishing, enforcing and monitoring standards for admission to categories of membership, the award of other qualifications/registrations, accreditation and professional conduct.
