NOTICE!
The MEA Designation
Is NOT The Same As A Certified Machinery & Equipment Appraiser
Tthe professional designation of over 300 CMEA's (Certified Machinery & Equipment Appraiser) within the SBA Membership Directory should not be confused with a MEA professional designation behind a member's name.
A SBA member that displays the credential of MEA is NOT authorized nor trained to submit a USPAP compliant Certified Machinery & Equipment Report that is defensible and will hold up to scrutiny. A MEA member is only authorized to analyze and consult concerning a machinery and equipment appraisal.he CMEA Designation is awarded by NEBB Institute, an industry leader in USPAP compliant Machinery & Equipment Appraisals.
