Iridite is a Macdermid brand name for MIL-C-5541 conversion coating processes. Trays can be either stainless steel or polypropylene in my experience. But it may be easier to order them from a plating specialist than a general machine shop.
I'm not sure whether you mean that you want MacDermid to certify you as a licensed applicator, or if you're thinking more along the lines of having your shop NADCAP certified for MIL-C-5541.
