The CIFL is a unifying force in the laboratory industry, bringing together suppliers, distributors and importers of equipment, consumables and reagents as well as service providers. Members come together to address industry-wide issues as well as specific problems.

In the best interest of all, CIFL members, regardless of how large or small their companies may be, have an opportunity to be heard, to be kept informed and to be defended with the same level care and attention. The laboratory is the common thread shared by all CIFL members and constitutes a single market where a wide variety of professionals serve a multitude of different clients.
CIFL member companies are committed to working together to defend the profession while respecting their clients, principals, competitors and employees.

In order to achieve this goal, the CIFL has three major charters:
  The members’ ethical charter
  The timely payment charter
  The employee safety charter
