Applications are now being accepted for volunteers to serve on this body. “As new materials and processes are introduced into our industry, we remain committed to ensuring the IICRC’s standards provide credible, up-to-date information,” says Mili Washington, IICRC standards director.

The consensus body members will meet approximately once per year in person, with most of the work being completed online and via conference calls. The new BSR-IICRC S220 Standard will include inspection of hard surface floor coverings including; stone, marble, laminate, wood, ceramic and resilient.
