STANDARDS OF PRACTICE
The Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA) established the Indoor Air Quality Certified® (IAQ-C) program, which encompasses the IAC2 certification for mold inspections. The IAC2 Standard of Practice (SOP) furnishes mold inspectors with directives to adhere to during their inspections.
Here's a rundown of the key aspects:
- The inspector is tasked with identifying and reporting visible mold or conditions conducive to mold growth.
- Inspection covers both the interior and exterior of the property, encompassing the roof, accessible crawl spaces, basements, and attics.
- Moisture meters and other tools are utilized to pinpoint moisture intrusion, water damage, or elevated humidity.
- When necessary, the inspector collects mold samples for subsequent laboratory analysis.
- A comprehensive written report is furnished, detailing findings, conclusions, and recommended remediation actions.
- The inspector refrains from offering or conducting mold remediation services.
- Adherence to relevant laws and regulations concerning mold inspections is obligatory.
In addition, the IAC2 Mold Inspection SOP requires the inspector to possess knowledge in microbiology, building science, and environmental health. A basic grasp of mold remediation principles and the ability to recommend suitable remediation procedures are also prerequisites.
It's essential to recognize that while the IAC2 Mold Inspection SOP is instructive, it doesn't encompass the entirety of mold inspection and remediation guidance. Homeowners and property managers should seek guidance from certified mold inspectors and licensed mold remediation professionals if they suspect mold growth on their property.
