According to the National Fire Protection Association, the majority of restaurant fires originate on the kitchen cooking appliances and flare into the kitchen exhaust system. Regular maintenance of a restaurant's kitchen exhaust system is one of the primary defenses against fire hazards. By keeping these systems working at their best, they will evacuate the smoke and grease out of the building and produce a cleaner, cooler kitchen and better working environment for staff.

The International Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Association was founded in 1989 and represents the leaders in the industry. By providing certifications that meet or exceed the requirements of most jurisdictions, IKECA continues to lead the industry. 

There are other organizations that provide "certificates."  IKECA provides a true certification.  To see the real IKECA difference, click HERE.
