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.

Master Painters Institute

Master Painters Institute (MPI) is the leading paint performance certification organization in North America and now a part of the NACE International Institute.

The partnership will bring the expanded resources of the NACE Institute to MPI while leaving MPI to continue to operate its customer-focused operations in the same manner it has for years. MPI’s well known products and services which include the MPI Approved Product Listing, product testing, training, and standards, will remain the same.
