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). The Board's directors are CIEH members, mainly drawn from the Learning and Qualifications Advisory Group, 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.

In March 2018 CIEH announced the closure of EHRB in 2020.[2]
