The following information and downloadable documents are currently being revised and are for reference only.
Whilst revision is underway we are currently not accepting any further tests for registration and review. When this changes we will update the website to reflect this.
What is Test Registration?

Test Registration has been developed to inform and protect the public by the use of ‘quality marks’ on tests that meet the European Federation of Psychologists Association (EFPA) criteria to be classed as having adequate psychological properties.
Tests can be registered if they meet minimum quality standards. The quality standards are set by the European Federation of Psychologists Associations and the tests are assessed against the standard through the review process.
If they meet the minimum standard for vaildity, reliability and information about norms or comparison groups, Test Publishers can choose to have their tests registered. Tests can be registered in advance of a full review where they clearly meet the required standard, but they are then committed to a full review.

You can find more general information about Test Registration by downloading the document below - A Procedure for the Registration of Psychological Tests: General Information
