Several weeks ago, I was informed that Phil Ackland was presenting his menu of programs to IKECA. At that time I was excited over the prospects of a renewed association relationship with one of the original founders.
Then I learn from another person who stated that the program was rejected by the IKECA Board of Directors. I was surprised of this development to say the least.
Phil and some of the leading members of the board have for several years been on less than positive terms. All issues have two sides, however Phil has always been a gentleman and up front with any situation that directly involved me. So I gave Phil a call and this was the information and timeline that he shared with me. I asked him if I could share this with the members of PWI and PWN , and he agreed.

In 2002, I began developing a comprehensive Protocol for exhaust cleaners.
Many months, and thousands of dollars later, I finished Phil Ackland’s Kitchen Exhaust Cleaners Certification Protocol. http://www.philackland.com/certification.html
This Program was developed under the strict discipline of the International Organization of Standardization (ISO 9001). The ISO 9001 Quality Management System is recognized by many governments (AHJ’s). For more information see www.iso.org.
The Program is fully developed and ready to be delivered, now, today. It provides an affordable means to have both Companies and Crew Leaders certified as “Trained and Qualified.†And it does it in a way that is “acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction†as per NFPA #96 11.4.
I willingly offered this Program and my cooperation to IKECA.
On Saturday July 12th 2003, the IKECA board met and decided rather than accept this Program, they were going to begin to make their own with Delco Cleaning Systems of Forth Worth.
This is an unfortunate decision. Now rather than having a partner, and working together to improve this service field, the IKECA board has chosen to make a competitor of this Program and of me.
I wish to inform all the members of IKECA that I regret being forced to compete with your group. It would have been great to work together.
