Use of a licensed mold assessor for all regulated mold remediation projects should be required under a proposed certification and licensure program being proposed by the District of Columbia, says the Indoor Air Quality Association.
IAQA has issued public comments on a draft of licensure/certification regulations for mold assessment and remediation being developed by the Washington, D.C., District Department of Environment (DDOE). Through regulation, DDOE hopes to prevent fraudulent operators from offering their services without being certified or licensed, thereby guaranteeing a basic level of competence in the performance of this activity.
