Are There Australian Mould Standards?

Often I am asked whether we have an Australian Standards. Unfortunately there are no standards in Australia however there are guidelines with acceptable industry practices we can follow which include

• Australian Mould Guidelines - purchased from Mycologia Australia
• Standard & Reference Guide for Professional Mold Remediation by IICRC S520

Australian Mould Guidelines

These are guidelines only with the intention of it eventually becoming an Australian standard. It was Authored by Peter Kemp and Dr Heike Neumeister-Kemp with the second edition released in 2010.

In my opinion, it is probably the easiest guidline to follow with easy to identify levels of mould contamination. Each level of mould contamination may  requires different personal equipment and mould removal method as explained in the guideline.

Mycologia Australia also provide training in mould suitable for hygienists  remediators, property managers government etc.
