RBA-Online for Suppliers to RBA Members
Suppliers to RBA members often receive multiple requests from customers. RBA-Online is a tool designed to streamline data collection and to reduce redundant risk assessment requests, while protecting the confidentiality of supplier data.
Suppliers that complete the SAQ in the online tool can share their SAQ results with any customer that is an RBA member. Suppliers can also schedule and track VAP audits and share audit reports with multiple customers. Suppliers can access RBA-Online for a fee of $250 per facility per year. Registration must be renewed annually.
Please note that using RBA-Online does not make a supplier an RBA member. For information about RBA membership please see our membership page.
