Architecture Guidelines

Calibration Committee

@Charles Quirt (Unlicensed)

The workflow developed by the Calibration Committee has been handed off to CIC who will take it to develop best practices for the industry. They are going to develop a ‘whiteboard’ video that presents the process to the industry. This work affects other committees including Architecture, Repair Order, Estimate, etc.

PIRC Data Standards

Recycled Parts & Inventory

@Charles Quirt (Unlicensed)

We are following world-wide activity on what is happening with electric vehicle batteries. This has broad impacts to safety, environmental, etc. The industry is looking to track EV batteries from cradle to grave using blockchain technology. There is a lot going on with the OEM’s, the federal government, ARA and others. We are trying to get OEM’s involved with this organization on this topic. This is a good area for us to engage with OE’s to be more involved with CIECA. Charley mentioned that we are working on a video to help communicate the benefits of CIECA and why OE’s should want to be part of CIECA.
