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.
