The Environmental Health Registration Board (EHRB) is a body in the United Kingdom which issues certificates of registration on completion of approved professional qualification programmes and accredits courses of study.
The organisation maintains a register of people who have been issued with such certificates.
Additionally EHRB conducts practice-related assessments of technical support staff who are undertaking accredited courses of study.
The EHRB's activities are closely associated with many aspects of the works of the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) and its Education and Professional Standards Unit. The Board's directors are mainly CIEH Trustees, drawn from the Education and Professional Standards Board, although nominations to the Board may be made by the Secretary of State for Health (up to two persons), government departments or agencies with an interest in environmental health (for example the Food Standards Agency). Other persons with an appropriate interest in environmental health may also be appointed by the Board.
