American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH^®) is a proud member of the Allied Industry Partners (AIP). In February of 2020, the seven founding members entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the IAQA Annual Meeting & Exposition in West Palm Beach, Florida. The purpose of the MoU is to identify and recognize current standards and credentials developed and administered by the Allied Industry Partner organizations, and related industry organizations.

As part of the MoU, all those involved have agreed to cooperate and coordinate at a level that ensures maximum efficiency, utilizes available resources, and is consistent with the principles of all. The Allied Industry Partners will maintain close liaison at the senior level by the most effective means available to ensure that each organization is aware of the applicable functions and activities of the other. They will encourage their members to work cooperatively on the mutual review and revision of industry standards and authorized representatives from each organization will meet in-person, annually, to evaluate progress in the implementation of the MoU and revise and develop new plans as needed. The partners will also serve as a unified voice on regulation and legislative issues, where appropriate.
