Membership of the Industrial Cleaning Machines Manufacturer's Association

ICMMA is a non-partisan body representing the broad interest of its member by:

  • Providing a focus for general enquiries about availability of industrial/commercial cleaning machines for specific cleaning tasks.
  • Providing a forum for members to discuss commercial and technical matters of common interest so that the Machine Manufacturing Industry has a 'view' in the wider forum, affecting the industry.
  • Co-ordinating a Technical Panel of its members so creating the opportunities to input BSI/International Standards discussion and to take up initiatives of its own in creating base Performance Standards that users have a right to expect from members.
  • Being represented on the organising Executive Board of the bi-annual British Cleaning Industry Exhibition. This allows the Association to participate in the planning, layout and development of the major events.

    Members are also entitles to a 10% discount on standard Stand Space charges.
  • Having a delegate, and so a viewpoint, on the Health and Safety Executive Cleaning Industry Liaison Forum and also participate in the more frequently called HSE Strategic Review Body.
  • Having a member sitting on the Asset Skills Cleaning Industry Board, so allowing a significant input into the development of training within the cleaning industry, so allowing Cleaning Machines to be featured in deliberation.
  • Having members agree to operate within an agreed Code of Practice allowing its members recognition as equipment suppliers of the highest order when other Trade Bodies within the Industry are seeking to set Standards of Excellence.
  • Enjoying membership of the British Cleaning Council giving it access to promote itself through the Industry Journal 'The Voice' and allowing it access to bodies such as the All Party Parliamentary Committee on the Environment.
  • Being the vehicle of liaison with other bodies within the Cleaning Industry, in particular CSSA, Asset Skills and B.I.C.Sc.

The General Commercial Committee of ICMMA currently meets 3 times a year and the Technical Committee more frequently, these meetings provide a framework for a co-ordination of the Industries objectives, but such meetings may be called ad-hoc if, and when, significant issues arise.

Above all, ICMMA is a vehicle through which the general interest of Machine Manufacturers can be promoted to the overall benefit of the membership and the Cleaning Industry as a whole.

As a non-partisan body, ICMMA is seen to be the body through which General Agencies can work in the promotion of specific Government objectives.
