Earlier this year, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) notified the Indoor Environmental Standards Organization (IESO) of the approval of the IESO/RIA 6001-2011 Evaluation of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Interior Surfaces to Determine the Presence of Fire-Related Particulate as a Result of a Fire in a Structure.
Earlier this year, the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) notified the Indoor Environmental Standards Organization (IESO) of the
approval of the IESO/RIA 6001-2011 Evaluation of Heating, Ventilation and Air
Conditioning (HVAC) Interior Surfaces to Determine the Presence of Fire-Related
Particulate as a Result of a Fire in a Structure. The standard was produced in
close cooperation with a subcommittee convened by the Restoration Industry
Association (RIA). It was developed to specify the evaluation process for fire
and smoke-impacted HVAC systems through a precise inspection and sampling
protocol. This was the first ANSI-approved standard for both organizations.
