The IICRC created and filled a Director of Government Relations & Advocacy role, the certifying body moving into the political arena.
Why it matters
With Connecticut mandating IICRC/NORMI certification for mold (effective Oct 1) and more states looking at licensing, the standard-setter is now also lobbying. Your certification is becoming a legal instrument, not just a credential.
Our assessment
A new director title is the kind of item that gets scrolled past. It tells you your certification is turning into a legal instrument. The body that sells the credential is now lobbying for states to require it, which is good for certified shops and self-interested at the same time. Get your crews certified, and show up to the state comment period so the rule fits real work.
