The industry-driven program for coatings contractor accreditation

The NACE International Institute Contractor Accreditation Program (NIICAP) is a premier, industry-driven and industry managed accreditation program that validates a contractor's quality assurance program, support practices, and production processes.

The NIICAP process is transparent, industry-driven and customer-focused from the top down, resulting in a robust accreditation program that endorses only coating contractors who have demonstrated capabilities and competencies necessary to meet owner requirements.

Contractors

Contractors that earn accreditation through NIICAP’s audit process distinguish themselves as elite coating applicators by demonstrating the highest levels of specialty knowledge, product and service quality.

Auditing Standards

The accreditation process is based on three different auditing standards: AS-1, AS-2, and AS-3. Three NIICAP standards are used to assess and audit a contractor’s ability to meet a variety of customer specifications.

Contractor Benefits

Advantages to Asset Owners

  1. Keep contractors accountable even after they have been hired for the project. If a contractor’s quality and safety are not performing as expected, the owner can request a random audit.

  2. NIICAP requires trained third-party auditors (contracted from industry) to visually verify that the contractor is fulfilling all requirements of the auditing standard(s) each year.

  3. If contractor has AS3 accreditation, the entire crew will be trained to skills relevant to your project.
