ISSA Certifies 50 Firms to CIMS-GB

ROSEMONT, IL – Fifty companies have recently achieved the Cleaning Industry Management Standard (CIMS) certification via ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association.

Created by the industry, for the industry, 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 cleanliness, which is essential given the biorisks that exist today,” said ISSA Executive Director John Barrett. “Using CIMS as a management framework allows cleaning organizations to maintain quality, efficiency, and 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 percent of the mandatory elements and 60 percent 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. To earn CIMS w/ Honors, an organization must achieve 85 percent of the recommended elements.
