The ISSA Clean Standard: K-12 was developed through a true consensus-based process. Experts, representing all sectors of the industry, including the facility management and school communities, were selected by the ISSA Board, staff, and alliance partners to participate on standard development and stakeholder Committees. The committees worked directly with ISSA and its partner, the Cleaning Industry Research Institute (CIRI) to draft the Standard, which was subject to full peer review prior to official publication.
