Omfang

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.  The Standard explains mold remediation techniques, the principles of which may apply to other microbial remediation projects or services. This Standard assumes that determining and correcting the underlying cause of mold contamination is the responsibility of a property owner, landlord, or their agent(s), and not the remediator, although a property owner may contract with a remediator or other professional to perform these services.  Purpose  It is the purpose of this Standard to define the methodology to be used by remediators for establishing and implementing mold remediation procedures, in accordance with the principles in Section 1: Principles of Mold Remediation.  Because of the unique circumstances encountered in mold remediation projects, it is impractical to prescribe procedures that apply to every situation. In certain circumstances, deviation from portions of this Standard may be appropriate. Any deviation should be specified in writing with full disclosure to the client of the deviation, the rationale, and reference to the LCCC section. Carelessness is unacceptable, and common sense and professional judgment are to be exercised in all cases.  Among other things, S520 does not address Histoplasma capsulatum, Cryptococcus neoformans, hanta virus, animal-derived pathogens, or other highly infectious agents, including those from bird and bat droppings. Refer to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) or the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) for appropriate decontamination procedures for these contaminants. See, for example, Histoplasmosis, Protecting Workers at Risk, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and National Center for Infectious Diseases (NCID), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2004.  In addition, this Standard does not specifically address the protocols and procedures for restoration, remediation, or abatement when potentially hazardous, regulated materials are present or likely to be present in water-damaged or contaminated structures, systems, and contents. Such potentially hazardous, regulated materials include but are not limited to asbestos, lead, respirable crystalline silica, arsenic, mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), pesticides, fuels, solvents, radiological residues, and other chemical and biological contaminants.
