The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) has opened public review for the Draft IICRC S320 Standard for Professional Assessment Cleaning and Restoration of Contents. Download the draft Standard and submit your comments online from September 11 to October 26, 2026, here: https://iicrc.org/s320/

As part of the ANSI 45-day public review period, all comments must be submitted using the online comment form no later than October 26, 2026.

The IICRC S320 Standard defines contents (i.e., personal property) as items contained but not permanently attached to a building, or on the client’s property, as distinguished from real property, or the building itself. The Standard provides the principles, methods, and processes to assess, inventory, handle, clean, restore, remediate, preserve, and transport contents, because of water, mold, trauma crime scene, fire and smoke damage. It also addresses contractor qualifications, administrative requirements and procedures, development of the restoration work plan (RWP), and documentation of project-related events.
