The International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI), whose mission is to be a
leading resource for education and information to improve the quality of repair,
restoration, and protection of concrete and other structures, is proud to introduce
its Slab Moisture Testing Technician Certification Program.

The purpose of this program is to standardize moisture testing in the U.S. to result
in consistent, accurate, and truly representative results, which will allow flooring
manufacturers, architects, and contractors to make better decisions on when a concrete
floor is ready for a floor covering.
