NIICAP: The industry-driven program for coatings contractor accreditation

The NACE International Institute Contractor Accreditation Program (NIICAP) is a premier, industry-driven and industry managed accreditation program that validates a contractor's quality assurance program, support practices, and production processes. NIICAP accreditations include standards for field and shop coatings, hazardous waste removal and management, and applicator training accreditation for in-house training and independent training organizations. The NIICAP process is transparent, industry-driven and customer-focused from the top down, resulting in a robust accreditation program that endorses only coating contractors who have demonstrated capabilities and competencies necessary to meet owner requirements.
