TL;DR
A mold remediation protocol is the written scope of work, usually prepared by an independent indoor environmental professional, that specifies containment boundaries, engineering controls, materials to remove, cleaning methods, and clearance criteria for a mold project. Separating the assessor who writes it from the contractor who performs the work avoids a conflict of interest, and some states such as Texas and Florida mandate that separation by license.
What it means
A mold remediation protocol is the written scope of work, usually prepared by an independent indoor environmental professional, that specifies containment boundaries, engineering controls, materials to remove, cleaning methods, and clearance criteria for a mold project. Separating the assessor who writes it from the contractor who performs the work avoids a conflict of interest, and some states such as Texas and Florida mandate that separation by license. Passing the protocol's clearance testing is what defines the job as complete.
