In the early 1990’s a niche industry began to emerge to address the cleanup of human blood and body fluid spills associated with injuries and death scenes. As the public and government agencies became more aware of the health hazards associated with these scenes (both physical and psychological), the demand for trained technicians grew. With only generic regulations to address general work practices, a small but determined trade association, and a handful of selfappointed instructors, the industry has grown to well over a thousand service providers.

The IICRC S500 provides a specific set of practical standards for water damage restoration. It does not attempt to teach comprehensive water damage restoration procedures; rather it provides the foundation for basic principles of proper restoration practices. IICRC S500 does not attempt to include exhaustive performance characteristics or standards for the manufacture or installation of structural components, materials and contents (personal property).
The IICRC S500 Standard and Reference Guide is presented using a two-part format: the standard itself and a supplementary reference guide. The procedural standard is featured in this first section, supported by the reference guide in the second section. The intent is to use the principles outlined in the reference guide as a tool to better understand and apply the standard itself. However, the reference guide is not considered part of this standard.. -

This document is written for use by those involved in the mold remediation industry, primarily for mold remediation companies and workers, and secondarily, for others who investigate or assess mold complaints, prepare remediation specifications, protocols or procedures, and manage remediation projects, (e.g., indoor environmental professionals (IEPs), other specialized experts) and finally, for other potential materially interested parties (e.g., consumers and occupants, property owners and managers, insurance company representatives, government and regulatory bodies).
The S520 is a procedural standard. It is based on reliable remediation principles, review of available scientific and industry literature and information and practical experience. In addition, there has been extensive consultation with, and information obtained from, numerous other sources. The Second Edition of the S520 has been updated and rewritten. An additional Chapter and Section have been added covering Building and Material Science, and an additional section has been added covering Equipment, Tools and Materials. This document supersedes the IICRC S520 Standard and Reference Guide for Professional Mold Remediation (S520 First Edition 2003, 2004 and 2008). -
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THIS VERSION: This document is a translation of the English version of an American National Standard. The only version approved by the American National Standards Institute is the English language version. La présente norme décrit les procédures à suivre et les précautions à prendre lorsqu’on effectue une remédiation des moisissures dans des bâtiments résidentiels, commerciaux et institutionnels, ainsi que dans les systèmes et les biens personnels meubles dans ces structures.
La norme explique les techniques de remédiation des moisissures, dont les principes peuvent s’appliquer à d’autres projets ou services de remédiation microbienne. La présente norme suppose que la détermination et la correction de la cause fondamentale de la contamination fongique relève de la responsabilité du propriétaire ou du bailleur, ou de leurs agents, et non celle du remédiateur, bien que le propriétaire pourrait signer un contrat avec le remédiateur ou avec d’autres spécialistes pour rendre ces services.) -

ANSI/IICRC S800 defines basic operational procedures and techniques for inspecting/evaluating: carpet types, characteristics and conditions; specification; installation procedures; and post-installation maintenance and cleaning. This enables professional inspectors to determine appropriate procedures for inspecting textile floor coverings. S800 is not written to teach detailed inspection procedures; numerous manuals, videotapes, workshops and seminars are available to teach comprehensive textile floor covering inspection procedures. This standard was created for use primarily by professional inspectors, and secondarily for carpet manufacturers, product suppliers, building contractors, architects, specifiers, designers, distributors, flooring retailers, end-users, facility managers, institutions and others involved in the textile flooring inspection industry.
