Aktualisierung zu: Leitfaden zur Vorbeugung, Erfassung und Sanierung von Schimmelbefall in Gebäuden (2017) – Kapitel 6.1 „Nutzungsklassen“

Abstract

The guidelines published by the German Environment Agency in 2017 on the "Prevention, detection and remediation of mould in buildings" were clarified in two points. First, Chapter6.1 "Utilisation classes" now includes the definition of an "indoor space" in relation to human use. Second, the previous utilisation classIV - which concerned cavities and building components- was removed. These changes avoid misinterpretations and emphasise the hygiene-preventive approach of the guideline.
