The Collision Industry Conference Definitions Committee is an industry volunteer group comprised of repairers, insurers and suppliers and others whose mission it is to assist in clarifying and bringing universal understanding to the terminology used in the automotive collision repair industry. The committee receives submissions for review, possible modification to limit content to just definitions, and publication to the CIC Wiki Glossary.

*Submissions to the committee will be reviewed for proper categorization and that content is limited to definitions only. The committee will ask that submissions not include application of price or labor times to be paid or otherwise cost associated with any definition.
