IICRC seeks volunteers for new BSR/IICRC S530 and BSR/IICRC S590 Standards
The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning & Restoration Certification (IICRC) is seeking volunteers to serve on consensus bodies for the development of two new Standards: BSR/IICRC S530 Standard for Indoor Environmental Assessment for Suspected Molud Contaminated Structures; and BSR/IICRC S590 Standard for HVAC Cleaning and Decontamination in a Water Damaged Environment.
For those interested in serving on either the BSR/IICRC S530 or BSR/IICRC S590 consensus bodies, should consider the following:
The BSR/IICRC S530 Standard for Indoor Environmental Assessment for Suspected Mould Contaminated Structures will establish a proper methodology and protocol for the inspection and evaluation of structures known or suspected to have mould contamination, and will promote proper methodology and processes for the assessment of mould contaminated structures.
IICRC is seeking volunteers for this Standard from restoration companies and workers; those who investigate or assess abnormal water intrusion, prepare restoration specifications, procedures and protocols, manage restoration projects (e.g., indoor environmental professionals (IEPs) and other specialised experts); and other potential materially interested parties (e.g., consumers and occupants, property owners and managers, insurance company representatives, government and regulatory bodies); property owners and managers, occupants and tenants, professional remediators, those who investigate mould complaints, property restorers, indoor environmental professionals, environmental consultants, industrial hygienists, building engineers, insurance companies and regulatory bodies.
Those interested in finding out more and/or submitting an application to serve on the S530 consensus body should visit:
The BSR/IICRC S590 Standard for HVAC Cleaning & Decontamination in a Water Damaged Environment will provide a specific set of practical standards for HVAC cleaning in a water-damage restoration project.
IICRC is seeking volunteers for this Standard from restoration companies and workers; those who investigate or assess abnormal water intrusion, prepare restoration specifications, procedures and protocols, manage restoration projects (e.g., indoor environmental professionals (IEPs) and other specialised experts); and other potential materially interested parties (e.g., consumers and occupants, property owners and managers, insurance company representatives, government and regulatory bodies):
Consensus body members can expect to begin work on the standards by early 2019 with nearly all meetings being held online and via conference calls. The new Standards are expected to be completed in approximately two years.
The IICRC is a global, ANSI-accredited Standards Developing Organisation that credentials individuals in 20+ categories within the inspection, cleaning and restoration industries. Representing more than 47,000 certified technicians and 6,000 Certified Firms in 22 countries, the IICRC, in partnership with regional and international trade associations, represents the entire industry.
