What is the IICRC?
At Biodec, we believe that trust, professionalism, and high standards are the cornerstones of any reliable cleaning and restoration service. That’s why we proudly operate as an IICRC-accredited firm and ensure our technicians are IICRC-trained.
The Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) is a globally recognised organisation that sets the bar for excellence in the inspection, cleaning, and restoration industries. Founded in 1972, the IICRC develops industry standards and certification programmes that ensure firms like ours perform services safely, ethically, and with proven methodology.
The Value of IICRC Accreditation
Being an IICRC-accredited firm is more than a title—it's a commitment to excellence.
To receive and maintain IICRC accreditation, a company must:
Uphold a strict Code of Ethics
Provide evidence of ongoing education and training
Carry valid insurance and maintain legal compliance
Employ certified technicians for all services offered
This rigorous process ensures that customers are not just hiring a company with fancy equipment, but one that is proven to follow the best practices in the industry.
At Biodec, we chose IICRC accreditation because we believe our customers deserve transparency, trust, and top-tier service every single time.
Why IICRC-Trained Employees Make the Difference
It’s one thing for a company to be accredited—but it’s the people doing the work that truly define a service.
IICRC-trained employees go through a thorough education process covering:
Technical knowledge specific to water damage, fire restoration, mould removal, and more
Health and safety protocols to protect both technicians and property occupants
Scientific principles behind effective cleaning and decontamination
Real-world scenarios and problem-solving skills
This training isn’t a one-off; IICRC certifications are maintained and updated with regular continuing education. That means our staff stay up-to-date with the latest techniques, standards, and equipment.
At Biodec, every technician we send out to your property carries this training. We don’t just "get the job done"—we get it done right, safely, and efficiently.
Why IICRC Standards Matter
The IICRC Standards are more than checklists—they are science-backed protocols developed by industry experts, engineers, environmental specialists, and medical professionals.
Examples include:
S500 Standard for Professional Water Damage Restoration
S520 Standard for Mould Remediation
S540 Standard for Trauma and Crime Scene Cleanup
S100 Standard for Professional Cleaning of Textile Floor Coverings
Following these standards ensures:
Consistent, reliable results
Health and safety compliance
Minimised damage to property
Faster and more efficient recovery
In emergencies such as floods or fire, adherence to these standards can mean the difference between salvaging and losing valuable property.
At Biodec, we adhere strictly to these standards—not just because it’s required, but because it’s the right way to serve our customers.
