What is The IICRC?
In
1972, the International Institute of Carpet &
Upholstery Certification was established to provide a
means by which a professional carpet, drapery, and
upholstery cleaner could become certified. A short
time later, it was incorporated as a testing &
certification body owned by the cleaning industry's
regional and national trade associations who
subscribed to high standards of professionalism,
technical knowledge, and skill. Now universally
accepted as the objective certifying body for those
reaching levels of proficiency in the industry, the IICUC recently changed its name to the Institute of
Inspection, Cleaning, & Restoration Certification (IICRC).
The IICRC is a nonprofit certifying body for the
inspection, cleaning and restoration industry.
Organized in 1972, the IICRC currently represents over
5,000 certified firms and 17,500 certified technicians
in nine countries.
The IICRC, with participation from the entire
industry, sets standards for inspection, cleaning and
restoration.
