The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) officially announced the International Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Council of Associations (IICRCA), an international trade association initially approved by the IICRC executive committee and board of directors in 2010.

The IICRCA is a council of associations that represent the cleaning, restoration and inspection industries and will provide education, legislative, networking and advocacy services to industry professionals, companies and supporting organizations. The IICRCA has committed to the launch of its first trade show – “The Show” – for the fall of 2013.
