The third edition of the mold remediation standard, ANSI-approved and published in 2015 — the standard alone, without the reference guide that made the second edition nearly four times longer. Seventeen sections run from scope and definitions through principles of remediation, equipment, building and material science, remediator qualifications, safety and health, administrative procedures and risk management, inspection and preliminary determination, structural, HVAC and contents remediation, post-remediation verification, the role of the indoor environmental professional, and final documentation. Its introduction positions the document against EPA, NYCDOH, AIHA and ACGIH guidance and explains why the S500 alone was never sufficient guidance on mold.
Why a contractor cares. This is the current ANSI-approved statement of what a mold remediation is required to include, and the version to work from.
Why a public adjuster cares. When a carrier's consultant says a scope exceeds the standard, this is the text that settles it — and it separates the remediator's obligations from the independent assessment role of the indoor environmental professional.
