September 24, 2007—The American Board of Industrial Hygiene (ABIH) has recognized certain American Indoor Air Quality Council certifications in its Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) certification maintenance program.
Effective immediately, any CIH who earns the Council-certified Indoor Environmental Consultant (CIEC) designation or the Council-certified Microbial Consultant (CMC) designation will receive 2.5 certification maintenance points toward recertification as a CIH.
“Industrial hygiene and indoor air quality have always been closely related,” said Charlie Wiles, IAQ Council executive director. “This announcement confirms that relationship and helps to establish IAQ Council certifications as the standard for our industry.”
Wiles noted that many CIECs and CMCs hold the CIH designation and predicted that many more will take advantage of the new program.
The American Indoor Air Quality Council is a non-profit certifying body founded in 1993 to serve the indoor air quality industry.
