Why Standards Matter

Do you have questions on IICRC Standards – what they are and why they’re important? Check out the IICRC’s “Why Standards Matter” video discussing the fundamental role that Standards play in everything the IICRC does, as well as how people can get involved in the standards-setting process.

Seeking Volunteers

The IICRC is developing two new fire and smoke damage restoration standards and is seeking volunteers to serve on consensus bodies for each:

• The BSR/IICRC S710 Standard for the Development of a Scope of Work in a Fire and Smoke Damaged Environment will provide a specific set of practical standards for the development of a scope of work in a fire and smoke damaged environment.
• The BSR/IICRC S740 Standard for Professional Restoration of Fire and Smoke Damaged Personal Items will provide a specific set of practical principles, methods and processes to evaluate and restore fire and smoke damaged porous and non-porous personal items, commonly known as contents or personal property.

Those interested in submitting an application to serve on the S710 or S740 consensus bodies should visit https://www.iicrc.org/page/IICRCStandards for more information and to download the application form.
