23 Companies Earn ISSA CIMS Certification

Organizations that earn Cleaning Industry Management Standard (CIMS) certification from ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association, are dedicated to a higher standard of cleaning service.

Twenty-three companies recently achieved the Cleaning Industry Management Standard (CIMS) certification from ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association. CIMS is the first consensus-based management standard that outlines the primary characteristics of a successful, quality cleaning organization.

“Earning CIMS certification demonstrates that organizations are dedicated to a higher standard of cleaning service, which is essential given the risks that exist today,” said ISSA Executive Director John Barrett. “Using CIMS as a management framework allows cleaning organizations to maintain quality, operate efficiently, and improve customer satisfaction.”

Relevant for in-house operations and outsourced building service contractors of all sizes, CIMS leverages five core elements of management best practices and requires participants to meet 100% of the mandatory elements and 60% of the recommended elements, per section. An ISSA-accredited third-party assessor completes an on-site evaluation to validate that the cleaning operation follows documented systems and processes that support cleaning for health.
