Among things I don't like with a passion is BIG government bureaucracy. In our cleaning industry, BIG seems to be in vogue, too. The IICRC and CRI are on a similar course as Washington politicians and have combined in an attempt to rule rank and file cleaning folks. People who are not in the business want to micro-manage our business and charge us for the privilege of letting them tell us what to do.
CRI is testing products and approving services. In the process they are attempting to legislate certain products and processes out of the marketplace. This is wrong! Some equipment and chemicals may be suspect, but no bureaucrat should ever be able to determine if a product is successful. This is still the job of the free market. Maybe an industry tea party is in order!
