CINI, Committee on Industrial Insulation, was established in the late 1980s in response to the great need in the market for standardised quality standards for industrial insulation.  CINI is working towards an internationally recognised manual and guide for technical insulation.  The CINI objective is to promote the quality and knowledge of everything related to insulation, both in its study, application and maintenance.  CINI brings together specialists in thermal (hot / cold / cryogenic) and acoustic insulation, shares knowledge and sets quality conditions that insulation systems should meet.  It also describes typical methods of insulation & finishing constructions, which, based on practical experience, reduce the risks of C.U.I. (Corrosion Under Insulation).  These quality conditions and practices of good workmanship are compiled in the CINI handbook, which is refined and expanded annually.
