Residential Mold and Fungus Standards
Home inspection residential mold and fungus standards are published by IICRC and ASTM. These standards discuss the safe removal of various types of mold and fungus infections.
ANSI/IICRC S520-2024
Standard for Professional Mold Remediation
This Standard describes the procedures to be followed and the precautions to be taken when performing mold remediation in residential, commercial, and institutional buildings, and the systems and personal property contents of those structures. This Standard was written for use by those involved in the mold remediation industry, primarily for mold remediation companies and workers, and secondarily, for others who inspect or assess mold complaints, prepare remediation specifications, protocols, or procedures, and manage remediation projects (e.g., indoor environmental professionals or IEPs). Finally, this document is for other materially interested parties (e.g., consumers and occupants, property owners and managers, insurance company representatives, government, and regulatory bodies). The ANSI/IICRC S520 Standard for Professional Mold Remediation includes the following which are described in the Standard: Principles of Mold Remediation Mold Cleaners, Antimicrobial Chemicals, and Coatings as Remediation Tools Building and Material Science Remediator Qualifications Safety and Health Administrative Procedures, Documentation and Risk Management Inspection and Preliminary Determination Limitations, Complexities, Complications and Conflicts (LCCC) Structural Remediation HVAC Remediation Contents Remediation Post-Remediation Verification Indoor Environmental Professional
ANSI/IICRC S520/IICRC R520-2015
STANDARD AND REFERENCE GUIDE FOR PROFESSIONAL MOLD REMEDIATION
The ANSI/IICRC S520 is a procedural standard for the remediation of mold damaged structures and contents. The ANSI/IICRC S520 is based on reliable remediation and restoration principles, research and practical experience, and attempts to combine essential academic principles with practical elements of water damage restoration for technicians facing "real-life" mold remediation challenges. The S520 and R520 are written for use by those involved in the mold remediation industry, and is the result of collaboration among microbiologists and other scientists, public health professionals, industrial hygienists, remediation contractors, restoration service companies, cleaning and restoration training schools, trade associations that service the professional restoration industry, allied trade-persons and others with related professional and practical experience. ANSI/IICRC S520-2015 Standard and IICRC R520 Reference Guide is published as two separate documents: the standard itself and a supplementary reference guide. The procedural standard is supported by the reference guide. 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.

ASTM D7338-14(2023)
Standard Guide for Assessment Of Fungal Growth in Buildings
1.1This guide provides a compendium of information and a menu of options for assessment of fungal growth in buildings, but does not recommend a specific course of action. Due to the wide variety of fungal problems affecting buildings and their occupants, and the wide variety of buildings, it is not possible to describe a set of uniform steps that will always be performed during an assessment (that is, a standard practice); therefore the user of this guide must decide which steps are appropriate for a given situation or building.
1.2This guide is specific to fungal growth, which is only one potential problem in a building environment. It may be part of, but is not intended to take the place of, a comprehensive indoor air quality investigation.
1.3This guide describes minimum steps and procedures for collecting background information on a building in question, procedures for evaluating the potential for moisture infiltration or collection, procedures for inspection for suspect fungal growth, and procedures beyond the scope of a basic survey that may be useful for specific problems.
1.4Assessments for fungal growth may be useful wherever fungal growth is suspected, excess moisture has been present or when there are concerns regarding potential fungal growth.
1.5Periodic fungal assessment in buildings may be a component of preventative maintenance programs.
1.6This guide is applicable to buildings including residential (for example, single or multi-family), institutional (for example, schools, hospitals), government, public assembly, commercial (for example, office, retail), and industrial facilities.
1.7Recommendations for developing a sampling strategy or methods for the collection and analysis of fungal samples are beyond the scope of this guide. For recommendations for developing a sampling strategy, see Ref (1)2, Chapter 10.
1.8Recommendations for remediation of fungal growth are beyond the scope of this guide.
1.9This guide is not intended to supersede any government regulations governing the assessment of fungal growth in buildings.
1.10This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.11This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
