Clients can trust that every inspector sourced through Reliability Inspectors Inc, is working with the latest editions of the most frequently used standards.
- Increased visibility
By displaying their credentials and calendars of availability on the worldwide web, and under a shared brand of excellence, affiliates expand their reach to prospective clients and grow their businesses.

Further, many customers will have their own template agreement which they want to or require the affiliate to use.
Affiliates are to confirm the agreement entered into with individual customers, and provide a copy of that agreement to Reliability prior so the start of work.
The affiliate and the customer need to first come to terms of the agreement. The agreement will include:
i. Scope of work
