The Controlled Environment Testing Association is dedicated to promoting quality assurance in the controlled environment industry. Through education, credentialing, the annual conference, and the CETA Application Guides, we provide opportunities for members to positively impact the industries served.

The Controlled Environment Testing Association (CETA) was established in 1992 to promote quality assurance in the controlled environment industry. The formation of CETA was derived from a need to collect data, network, bring a higher level of integrity to the industry, and improve testing quality.

Additionally, the founders sought to aid in the understanding and practical application of the complex standards and guidelines to which we test by educating industry professionals and working with government and regulatory agencies on controlled environment and contamination control issues.

Today, CETA continues to operate based on these founding goals. Through conferences, educational series, and the Performance Review, the semi-annual journal, members exchange and disseminate information on testing and certification issues.
