The ICEB is a non-profit organization that is open for ICCCS members.

ICCCS stands for International Confederation of Contamination Control Societies.

The goal of the ICEB is harmonizing and sharing cleanroom courses. The ICEB promotes the preparation and accreditation of internationally-recognized educational courses for people who design and test and monitor, operate, and work as operators in cleanrooms.
The ICEB accredits Cleanroom and Contamination courses that treat subjects according to the relevant ISO standards. Courses are accredited within an ‘Accreditation Guidelines’ set down by the ICEB. People attending courses will be certified by examination and each successful candidate is awarded a certificate with the ICEB logo, and has their name placed on the website.

A quality assurance system has been established to ensure a high standard of courses, and includes such requirements as:

• board to audit the course and exams
• public traceability of a person's certificate
