Team Credentials.
Expert Indoor Environmental Consulting.
RIC maintains rigorous qualification standards to deliver expert-level indoor environmental consulting services. We ensure full transparency with clients and industry stakeholders regarding service requirements and adherence to established industry standards.
Industry Standards Compliance.
Our services are built on strict compliance with applicable industry standards, specifically the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) Standards for Professional Water Damage Restoration and Mould Remediation. These internationally recognised standards define qualification requirements for assessing water-damaged and microbially contaminated buildings.
The IICRC S500 Standard for Professional Water Damage Restoration has been adopted as Australian Standard AS-IICRC S500 (released March 2025). The S520 Standard adoption is expected by August 2025.
Leadership in Standards Development.
RIC Managing Director, Jeremy Stamkos chairs the Standards Australia Committee (ME-094) responsible for adopting international restoration standards.
Qualified Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP).
According to the AS-IICRC S500 Standard, an Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP) is defined as:
“An individual with the education, training, and experience to perform an assessment of the microbial ecology of structure, systems, or contents at a job site, create a sampling strategy, sample the indoor environment and submit to an appropriate laboratory, interpret laboratory data and determine Category of water or Condition 1, 2, and 3 for the purpose of establishing a scope of work and verifying the return to a normal microbial ecology (e.g., Condition 1).”
This qualification ensures our assessments meet the highest professional standards for water damage and microbial contamination evaluation.
