Meeting IICRC Standards

12/1/2017 (Permalink)

Standards: What are they and why do they matter? Behind the scenes, standards make everyday life work. They establish size or shape or capacity of a product, process or system. They can specify performance of products or personnel. Are All Standards Alike? No. There are several categories of standards: n Product-based standards n Performance-based standards n Management system standards n Personnel certification standards n Construction standards Should You Get Involved? Yes! There are many ways to participate in the IICRC standard-development and review process: n A voting member of a standards consensus body n A non-voting contributor as a chapter committee member n A reviewer during the public review period What’s The Bottom Line? Standards reflect strengths and innovations of those who develop them. That means nonparticipation in standardization hands decision-making over to the competition.
