A mold assessment licensee who indicates in a remediation plan that\na disinfectant, biocide, or antimicrobial coating will be used on a mold\nremediation project shall indicate a specific product or brand only if\nit is registered by the United States Environmental Protection Agency\nfor the intended use and if the use is consistent with the\nmanufacturer's labeling instructions. A decision by a mold assessment\nlicensee to use such products must take into account the potential for\noccupant sensitivities.\n
