Concrete Slab Moisture Testing Certification Program Throughout the country there is significant disparity in how portions of the current ASTM moisture testing standards are being interpreted and how the tests are being performed.
Why should someone become certified or attend Tier 1 of this program? – Testing performed by certified technicians can help provide a greater confidence in the test results provided. – To gain a better understanding of the test methods, and the meaning of the results they provide. – Ownership of certification belongs to the individual and remains with the individual should they change employers. – Flooring manufacturers, many project specifications now require that testing be performed by an ICRI Certified Concrete Slab Moisture Testing Technician.
