The Cleaning Industry Research Institute (CIRI) International has been licensed by ISSA as a trainer to help the facilities community and cleaning professionals implement the ISSA Clean Standard: K-12, the gold standard in validating measurably clean and healthful environments in schools.

After five years of research, development and industry review, the ISSA Clean Standard: K-12 was released to the public in October 2013, with a goal to help transform how the world views cleaning.  

CIRI Training and Certification — now underway, with the next class scheduled on February 26th, 2014 in Hamilton, Ohio — will yield CIRI-Certified professionals versed in all aspects of the ISSA Clean Standard: K-12 who can verify schools are being hygienically cleaned.

“Only science-based cleaning can make that determination,” said Jim Harris, Sr. CIRI chairman. “CIRI has worked tirelessly with the ISSA and public health experts — through years of meticulous scientific research yielding thousands of data points — in rigorous investigation that led to a new way to evaluate the effectiveness of cleaning schools — the ISSA Clean Standard: K-12.”

To ensure that the ISSA Clean Standard: K-12 is effectively and consistently implemented, CIRI has developed a Comprehensive Training and Certification program.
