IICRC To Develop Hard Surface Inspection Standard

Vancouver, WA, July 1, 2014 -- The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification said it plans to develop a new BSR-IICRC S220 Standard on Hard Surface Floor Covering Inspection.

Applications are now being accepted for volunteers to serve on a consensus body.

“As new materials and processes are introduced into our industry, we remain committed to ensuring the IICRC’s standards provide credible, up-to-date information,” said Mili Washington, IICRC standards director.

The consensus body members will meet approximately once per year in person, with most of the work being completed online and via conference calls.

The new BSR-IICRC S220 Standard will include inspection of hard surface floor coverings including; stone, marble, laminate, wood, ceramic and resilient. The document will establish a procedural standard for professionally inspecting hard surface floor coverings. The new Standard is expected to be completed in approximately 36 months.
