What is IICRC S520 Standard and what role does it play in a remediation or disaster clean up?

The IICRC S520 Standard is a set of guidelines for the remediation of mold and water damage in indoor environments. The standard was developed by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) and provides a framework for the assessment, remediation, and restoration of indoor environments affected by mold or water damage.
