Realtors and homeowners / homebuyers should know about the new Florida mold statutes (law) scheduled to be effective July
1, 2010. Realtors and Homebuyers regularly hire home inspectors to perform mold assessment in Southwest Florida.
The new law clearly separates the home inspection business and mold inspection business in an effort to protect the consumer.
- Why would you hire someone who does not now meet even
the insurance requirements of the new mold law ($1,000,000 liability and Errors and Omissions insurance)?
- Why would hire a inspector with less than 4 years experience in mold assessment (required in new Florida
law)?
Chinese Drywall inspections and Mold assessment / testing are environmental
issues and not part of any "Standard of Practice" for home inspectors. Many home inspector take a one
or two day training class and become "certified mold inspectors". According to the NOCA standard 1100
approved by the America National Standard Institute in Washington DC March, 2009, they are not certified but only recieved
a "certificate of completion".
The acronym "Certified Mold Inspector" is
not recognized by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

"FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
NOCA 1100 - STANDARD FOR ASSESSMENT-BASED
CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS RECEIVES APPROVAL AS AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD
WASHINGTON, DC (March 26, 2009) - The National
Organization for Competency Assurance (NOCA) announced today that its recently published NOCA 1100 - Standard for Assessment-Based
Certificate Programs (2009) received approval as an American National Standard by the American National Standard Institute
(ANSI) Board of Standards Review. "This is an extremely
important development for the IAQ industry, given the fact that many IAQ organizations today offer "certifications"
that do not qualify as such according the Standard 1100." Page 12, IAQ newspaper April 2009 http://www.ieconnections.com/ A
National Standard 1100 (NOCA) has recently been approved by ANSI that clarifies the difference between Indoor Air Quality
professionals (including mold inspectors) that are "certified" professionals and those that are just "certificate
holders" (completed a training course).
|
According
to the new national standard (NOCA 1100,Section 8) holders of assessment-based certificates may NOT use letters
or acronyms behind their names, and they may NOT use the word "certified" in describing their credentials,
such as "certified mold inspector". The
new standard confirms and codifies three groups that have policies that qualify them as certification programs
under the national Standard 1100. 1.
The American Board of Industrial Hygiene (ABIH) which offers the Certified Industrial Hygienist, CIH designation. 2. The American Council for Accredited Certification,
(ACAC) offers several designations including: Council-certified Indoor Environmentalist (CIE) 3. The Board of Certified Safety
Professionals which offers the Certified Safety Professional, CSP designation. You can not just take a class and become "Certified" according to the new ANSI approved Standard 1100. Example of a approved Certification: ACAC requires minimum 2 years of experience,
board approval, and passing independent testing for certification as a "Certified Indoor Environmentalist".

Radon & Mold Professionals has more Board-Certified Indoor Environmentalists
(CIE) on staff than any company in Southwest Florida.

New Florida Mold Law
In a effort to protect the
citizens of Florida, Florida Governor Crist signed Mold / Inspection legislation (SB2234) into law. The new law will regulate
the Mold Inspection industry and Home Inspection businesses and individuals.
Individuals will need a license
and businesses will need to be certified. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation will
handle the licensing and the company certifications.

Mold bill became law July 1
By Joe Adams
Originally published on July 05, 2007As mentioned in my previous
column (Bill puts focus on mold inspections, June 7), the State of Florida has been grappling with the appropriate standards
for licensing mold "assessors" and "remediators" since 2004.
http://www.news-press.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070705/COLUMNISTS16/707050328/1014/BUSINESS
We applaud the Florida Governor and the FL Legislature for passing a respectable mold law.
One very important aspect concerning the new law is that
the consumer should understand that Mold Inspections and Home Inspections are two different professions,
with separate licenses and regulations. |

IAQA Government
Affairs Update
Summary of Activity for June 2007
ATTN: Douglas Wall
State legislative activity has slowed to a crawl with
all but all but nine states having completed their 2007 sessions. States remaining active are: California, Massachusetts,
Michigan, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, and Pennsylvania. While there are some bills of interest
to IAQA members in Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey, they do not appear too likely to pass.
The big
news that was reported earlier is that Florida Governor Charlie Crist signed a bill (SB 2234) that establishes a licensing
program for mold assessors and remediators. That bill has been in the making for three years and IAQA participated in
a broad coalition that made positive changes to the original bill. Bills of interest to IAQA members also passed in
Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Minnesota and Maine.

EPA
Considering Bioaerosol Sampling
http://www.epa.gov/mold/moldcourse/chapter7/lesson2.html
"remember
that a negative sampling report must not be used in place of a visual survey. Factors such as barometric
pressure, inside and outside temperatures, activity levels, and humidity may dramatically reduce or increase the spore levels
within a building. Air sampling for mold provides information on what was in the air only for the moment when the sampling
occurred. It is important, therefore, that sampling not replace visual inspection."

Most Consumers will not be aware we will have mold regulations in the future, 2010.
American Indoor Air Quality Council
certifications are third party accredited. AmIAQC requires at least two years experience to even apply for
a certification unlike the certifications from other training organization.
Remember:
Under the new Florida mold Law individuals will take
3 to 4 years to get a mold license.
News Article:
From Tallahassee to Jacksonville, Orlando, Miami even over to Naples consumers should be advised.
In Florida today, it appears we have hundreds of home inspectors collecting air samples, not following accepted industry
testing standards (IESO) and determining a structure has a mold problem based soley on the lab analysis of those air samples.
YOU SHOULD NEVER DETERMINE IF A STRUCTURE HAS A MOLD"PROBLEM" BASED JUST ON LAB ANALYSIS ONLY.
