The IRI has published a Handbook containing notes for the guidance of the IRI members for transfers, awards, and upgrading to qualify for the various honours like Grad IRI, AMIRI, MIRI and FIRI.
The Governing Council considers the applications of deserving candidates for such honours. The candidates are recommended every year by the branches.
This is recognition by the IRI of the professional development and progress of individuals within the rubber and allied industries.
