Membership Classifications

CCIL is a non-profit association that is owned and operated by its members. There are four classifications of membership.

Corporate Member

Corporate membership is limited to organizations that are principally engaged in testing, analysis, inspection, sampling, consultation, process control and/or research for outside clients.  The organization must be in good professional standing and operating on a sound financial basis as an independent tax-paying business.

Corporate Membership is further limited to organizations operating under the direct supervision of one or more professional engineers and/or professional chemists or a person or persons having acceptable equivalent professional status deemed satisfactory by the Board of Directors.

Corporate members must signify that they are willing to further CCIL’s aims and objectives and must agree to adhere to its Code of Ethics, By-laws and regulations.

Associate Corporate Members

Membership in CCIL is available to other organizations which do not do laboratory/testing work but conduct their principal business (professional or allied services in one or more fields of science) for outside clients. To qualify as an Associate Corporate Member, the organization must operate as an independent, tax-paying business.

Associate Corporate Members are required to comply with all the applicable requirements of corporate membership.

Associate members are not entitled to vote at General Meetings or hold office.

Observer Member and Honorary Members

Observer and Honorary Members are selected from time to time by CCIL either in recognition for the contribution to the industry or for their experience and knowledge. Observer and Honorary members do not pay dues, cannot hold office and do not vote.
