Launch Announcement: Introducing the Institute of Testing, Inspection & Certification Professionals (ITICP)
We are delighted to announce the official launch of the Institute of Testing, Inspection & Certification Professionals (ITICP)—a new professional institution dedicated to supporting and elevating individuals across the TIC (Testing, Inspection, and Certification) sector.
As the first organisation of its kind in the UK focused solely on TIC professionals, ITICP has been created to promote excellence, integrity, and recognition in a field that underpins quality, safety, and compliance across industries.
Why ITICP?
The TIC sector is vital—but until now, professionals working within testing laboratories, inspection bodies, certification bodies, and consultancy roles have lacked a central platform for professional recognition, development, and collaboration. ITICP has been established to fill that gap.
Whether you're a technical assessor, lead auditor, laboratory manager, or independent consultant, ITICP is here to connect you with a like-minded professional community, provide access to valuable resources, and support your ongoing growth.

🛠 Sector Committees: Member-led groups focused on Certification, Inspection, and Testing—driving guidance, knowledge-sharing, and sector-wide collaboration.
