IICRC Reverts to Original Name from Clean Trust

Vancouver, WA, March 19, 2012 -– Less than six months after announcing its name change to The Clean Trust, the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification said it's going back to its original name.

However, it will keep cleantrust as the service mark of the organization.

IICRC said the full details surrounding the transition will be announced at the Certification Council on April 22.
 
“We’ve heard the feedback from registrants over the past few months and considered many options,” said IICRC Chairman Darrell Paulson.

“Ultimately, the board has decided to use the IICRC as the main brand and use the cleantrust as a service mark. This allows us to honor the 40-year history of our organization, while also working to gain more awareness with end-users. We are still working through all of the details.”
 
The IICRC will retain the use of the updated logo, which IICRC says represents the strength and breadth of the organization.
 
“Together, this powerful brand combination of IICRC and the cleantrust, will enable us to constantly work towards our mission of identifying and promoting an international standard of care that establishes and maintains the health, safety and welfare of the built environment,” said Paulson.
