The IICRC is seeking volunteers to serve on a consensus body for the development of a brand-new standard: The BSR/IICRC S340 Standard for Professional Cleaning and Maintenance of Leather Furnishings. The new S340 Standard will provide a uniform guide for those who currently work in, or are looking to work in, leather cleaning and maintenance.

BSR/IICRC S340 Standard for Professional Cleaning and Maintenance of Leather Furnishings establishes a procedural standard for the professional cleaning and maintenance of leather furnishings. It is intended for use by professional cleaners, upholstery manufacturers, retailers, distributors, industry suppliers, specifiers, homeowners, property and facility managers, housekeepers, insurance companies and others.

Consensus body members can expect to begin work on the standards by early 2019 with nearly all meetings being held online and via conference calls. Those interested in submitting applications to serve on the S340 consensus body should visit https://www.iicrc.org/BSRIICRCS340 for more information and to download the application form.
