International Concrete Repair Institute has launched the association’s first complete certification program — the Slab Moisture Testing Technician Certification, Grade I. The purpose of this program is to help improve the performance of concrete-slab moisture testing in the United States, resulting in more consistent, accurate results that will help flooring manufacturers, architects and contractors make better decisions as to when a concrete floor is ready for a floorcovering installation. The ICRI Slab Moisture Testing Technician Certification program has two tiers. Those interested in attending both Tier 1 and Tier 2 must complete a registration form and an application. Tier 1 applicants are those who are not regularly engaged in moisture testing, yet have an active interest in learning more about the tests, what the tests mean and how the tests should be performed. It consists of a three-hour educational session, a written exam and a training session. Those who complete Tier 1 and pass the exam will be issued an ICRI Letter of Achievement. Tier 2 applicants are those who have applied for full certification. It consists of the same three-hour educational session, plus a written exam and a field-testing performance exam. After both the exams are passed, a Slab Moisture Testing Technician Certification, Grade I certification will be issued. The prequalification for acceptance into Tier 2 will be previous testing experience. ICRI plans to hold several Slab Moisture Testing Technician Certification programs across the country in 2010. ? www.icri.org
