Vancouver, Wash.—Nov. 20, 2014— The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), an international standard-setting, nonprofit organization for the inspection, cleaning and restoration industries, today announced it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with FCICA, the Flooring Contractors Association. As part of the recently approved MoU, the partnership will allow both organizations to combine their expertise and openly collaborate in providing best practices and awareness in the floor covering industry.
“Partnering with an organization like the FCICA allows the Institute to take a step forward and reach a new audience,” said IICRC Chairman Tony Wheelwright. “This is a great opportunity and we are excited to see what this partnership brings to the future of our combined industries.”
Through the memorandum, the IICRC and FCICA will work together to raise awareness of their collective industries and maintain an open dialogue in the sharing of industry knowledge and resources.
